There are a few things I struggle with doing while home alone with LO (17 months). Things like folding clothes without her attacking the pile and undoing what I just did. The dishwasher is tough but I just make sure to unload while she is in her high chair.

It seems like there are so many things DH can not do while watching a baby. Cooking dinner, requires his full attention (seriously he stands there and waits for water to boil). Today he said I couldn't go to the groceries store while she is napping because he was doing yard work and burning leaves. What would he do IF she woke up.

I try to find ways for him to spend more alone time with her and he's great alone with her but he hardly ever does any chores while alone with her (dirty dishes after feeding her sit on the counter, bottle from bed time on the couch).
