Parent one works FT. Parent two is SAH. P1 has never bathed their dc, minded them on their own for even thirty mins let alone all evening or day, never took them.out of the house on their own, never took a day off work when P2 has had to go into hospital (P2s relative had to drive an hour out to mind the DC while P2 was in hospital).
P2 when unwell still runs around doing housework and making the tea for P1 and the DCs and still must do bath/bed and through the night wakings.
Justification for P1s attitude to parenting is that they work FT. They work really hard.
It makes me so so angry that P1s attitude is facilitated by P2 and excused by family. Of course as I am neither P1 or 2, it in theory is none.of.my business.
However I feel so so strongly about it that I dont want to be around P1 and am getting a bit sick of people saying how hard P1 has it working so hard.

to think that working full time does not excuse you from parenting?
