Gone are the days when mothers pamper their boys with all the luxuries at home and shower the daughter-in-laws with the domestic chores. So let the men get in the field.
The truth is that the moment a child is born, a mother is born too. She existed as a woman, but motherhood is a rebirth for her. So trying to please her doesn't take a lot of effort.
Take your child along with you while running errands
You could manage to run errands with your child on your back or arms for a small part of the day. This will make your wife enjoy loneliness for a little while.
Pick up after your child at bedtime.
Cleaning up the area after playtime can be really helpful for your already tired wife. Especially when you have a super-active child who rejoices in throwing toys around.
Feed your toddler on weekends
You are going to please your wife excessively if you feed your baby, be it milk or lunch. The most difficult part of the day is the meal time. If your child has already learned to by herself, then supervise. It enhances the bonding between you and your child.
Take to the loo
Whenever your child needs to pee and poo, accompany him/her to the loo.(For potty trained children). And also teach the child not to allow anybody other than a parent to touch the underwear.
Engage your child when your lady cooks
She might not want the little one breathing down her neck while she cooks. Indulging in a minor activity can be helpful here.
Carry the baby, on an outing.(no strollers)
Carrying a toddler around on a busy street takes a lot of strength. You could hold the baby during an outing due to higher physical strength than the females.
Let her do the fine dining without an interruption.
Going to a restaurant happens from time to time, as a stay-at-home mother, she might have not had a calm lunch at home with the child meddling constantly, while you might have dined well with the colleagues in peace. So have the baby with yourself when she dines comfortably.
Listen
Be attentive to her parenting woes when she complains. If not helpful, be a good listener.
When all is said and done, you have a happy wife and a great mother by the end of the day.
