I worked when my kids were babies but we had a consistent daycare provider who was sooo good, I was jealous! My husband picked up and dropped off for many years. He liked to hold, rock and feed them, so we shared those tasks. And the rule was, who ever did bath, didn't have to do dishes. He use to have a way to gauge "bad" diapers with how many wipes he had to use...10-wiper was REALLY bad! :)Parenting is less shared now, as he is sick and commutes an hour to work each way. I work 6 minutes from home and the kids so I'm around a lot. But they are bigger so the impact is less. On them, at least.
Kids are smart. They know when they are loved. They can and should attach to many people in their lives. By providing a safe, consistent base, you will give them the confidence to do this.
