Alright Dad's need some planning help and tips.
Have a 4 yo and wife is pregnant with the second one and isn't keeping too well (nausea and fatigue etc). I have to be on dad duty and manage the kitchen and the house plus work. Son goes to daycare. Tips to manage better?

I would get some additional childcare or general domestic support.
Someone who can help doing some cleaning, cooking and the pick up.

I would also try to create protected time at work, explaining I am not available 6-8pm and will come back online in the evening (if required).

I’m in a similar situation. For me, excessive communication is key on all fronts. I have to actively communicate my “protected” or “away” time in the evening to work. There are also times when work cannot be delayed and I have to be diligent about finding help/managing that situation with my wife. Best of luck.

You got this and have been through it before. As a parent as as an SM, I think everyone actually appreciates clear boundaries. Flexibility should go both ways including your way.

My wife is very stubborn so try to proactively ease her burden vs being told what to do. Let her rest as much as possible.

Then when baby is born assuming you’re on parental leave you’ll be on 4 year old duty!
