approach, try these practical tips and mindful suggestions below to help ensure an equal output of effort and contribution by everyone in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Take Paternity Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your partners&#8217; employment situation in Canada, they may be entitled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/ei-maternity-parental.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paternity leave<\/a> which is a wonderful opportunity for both of you to spend time together with your newborn, while working through the kinks and adjustments (and new responsibilities!) that naturally come with one of life&#8217;s biggest transitions: parenthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Divide Days Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually the day may come when both of you are back at work full-time, which is when communication skills with your partner will be quintessential. If work flexibility is easier for one parent, they should be on deck for calls from daycare asking you to come pick up a sick child, as well as the primary person to handle middle-of the day doctor or dental appointments . On the flip side, the other parent, owing to less flexibility in their career, can book days off in advance for daycare\/school PD days, sporting-events, field trip volunteering, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Try A Balancing Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how well-intentioned you are to balance the division of labour, sometime the key to household harmony is better served by dividing and conquering, based on the strengths of each partner. That&#8217;s not to say your better-half doesn&#8217;t have a voice, but that one of you drives (not literally!) that responsibility day-to-day. If finances are an area of strength for one of you, that person can manage the budgeting and long-term planning (but both of you should be aware of how you are tackling debt, investing and making big purchases.) The same goes with meal planning or home maintenance. Come to an agreement \u2013 together \u2013 and you&#8217;ll find there is room for co-CEO&#8217;s to successfully run your family operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Revisit Your Priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully you had many prior conversations about how you viewed your combined future, so after the arrival of your baby (which is a major transition for all of you!), it&#8217;s a good idea to revisit your priorities as a couple and discuss what is still important to you from a time-spent and financial planning perspective. Is travelling to see family out of town a key driver? Maintaining a regular social network with friends? Paying down debt? Starting back at school part-time \/ doing an executive MBA? Reconfirming and\/or adjusting your ideals will help you both feel you are driving towards the same plans, making responsibilities seem less onerous and more opportunistic as they help you meet your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Confidence is Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent studies have shown that a frequent complaint in many households, is that a traditional approach to the division of labour (women or one partner shouldering more of the domestic chores) tends to be the default. Similar studies show that many women secretly have less confidence in their male partner being able to successfully carry out tasks to their same standards. Whether it&#8217;s getting the right groceries, bathing the babe, soothing him or her to sleep, handling laundry, one partner may be hanging on to certain tasks based on an outdated bias of their own. If so, suggest they (or you) take a step back, and you will both reap the rewards of greater balance in the daily duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Express Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There can often be an unspoken impasse between couples that can culminate in total miscommunication, despite the fact both couples have the same goal \u2013 to get tasks done. It often falls something along the lines of this: Partner A is tired of having to specifically ask for help around the house from Partner B. Partner B isn&#8217;t sure how of how he\/she can be of help around the house so waits to be asked. This cycle \u2013 and some resentment along with it \u2013 continues to grow. Talk it out, regardless of whether you identify as Partner A or B, and watch how quickly your household becomes more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Tackle it With Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of free and overly competent help is one we are always happy to take advantage of, and thanks to technology, it&#8217;s always within arms-reach, requires little training and anyone can do it, anywhere. From meal planning apps and online grocery delivery options (depending on where you live), to using calendar invites to automatically remind your significant other when it&#8217;s their turn to do the daycare pickups, to carpool and sports team apps that can combine all your scheduling into one beautiful (often daunting!) spreadsheet, use the power of today&#8217;s technology to help make it all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Rock Dad Duties (And Win Points With Mom!)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HbLJfJDQ3T8?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-1-border-color has-white-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-1-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discover.rbcroyalbank.com\/sarah-baeumlers-top-ten-tips-travelling-kids\/?utm_source=Discover-Learn&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=dl-140910\">Check out these family travel tips &amp; make baby\u2019s first trip less stressful.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
