Very though words but I agree.

Baby will definately interrupt sleep. It is unavoidable. Counting on maid would be worse. If parents find it hard to make such sacrifice do you think and outsider would? You have a baby your social life is gone. Enjoy this new chapter in your shared lives.

Mancy,
I salute you.

By the way are you referring to the baby when you use the word kid?

Bro, hang in there. You and your spouse should be working out the routines and 'whose turn' schedule, that way the workload and love is shared. You should also sent you child to stay with the grand parents for just a couple of weeks (err...not months) to give both of you a break, ....twice a year?
