Same toddler in childcare, newborn, no helper. My hubby works shift and so he is often the one doing the laundry but I'm still the one folding cz can't trust him to fold properly 😅. We kind of have an unspoken agreement tt whenever one of us is not handling any kid (when toddler is in sch and baby is sleeping or with either of us) we'll do some cleaning, be it vacuum, dishes etc but of course I'm still the one doing more cz I have a certain way of arranging things. We engage part time helper every 2 weeks to deep clean the house. Yes it gets exhausting for me whenever he's not home and I've to handle both kids alone but u'll get a hang of it. Expenses wise, we're alright cz I'm actually working (currently on maternity leave) so no issues financially. For the main baby essentials like diapers etc, my hubby pays. For me, I'll just buy whatever else within my means (can't help scrolling online while breastfeeding!😅)
