you may not like to hear this, but that's fact is. every time when we have a helper, they are excellent only at the beginning. We called it the honeymoon period. Don't be disappointed later. Just give you a head's up.
Glad to hear you are nice to her. Yes, most of them are poor, a few dollars could mean a lot to them.
Your husband will like to have a helper, cause you can spend more time together. Congraulations and enjoy life.
