Barb's pick- Carrie in Plano asks: Barb, my husband and I both work. Because I could not afford a longer maternity leave, I went back to work just one month after having our baby. She is now 7 months old. I don’t know how I can get my husband to help out more when it comes to the house and the baby. I clean the bottles, pack her for daycare, do all the laundry and cleaning, go to the store (he helps cook), bathe her, change diapers, play with her and put her to bed, and get up with her if she gets up at night, which is at least once or twice each night. I am exhausted. I have tried talking to him about it and it gets better for a little while, then he sees me relax a bit and he takes it as a sign that he can slack. Help!    

Barb's answer will be revealed in the next issue of The Weekly Scoop newsletter.
