Before i start let me just say I have a great spouse who IS very helpful; however, I am worried once school starts how things will get done around the house--cooking, cleaning, etc. My spouse does help alot but right now I am just working so I do alot of it. Anyway, mainly I'm just worried about how different things will be because obviously I won't have time to do everything I do now and my spouse says they'll take care of everything. Anyhow i'm just worried. Anyone else?
 
Since you say your spouse it great, I would venture to say that everything will work out just fine.

There will be an adjustment period for both of you, but as long as you don't get too stressed and let your spouse and yourself find your way, you should be fine.

Before med school, hubby did all of the cooking because he enjoyed it and I don't. However, I had to learn to make some things and take over in that department for the most part. It took a while for me to get in my own routine and comfort level but hubby never pressured or grumbled, and that made it easier for me to take over.

Good luck!
