Following on from my previous thread I have been mulling over return to work options.
I am virtually a sahm (seasonal self employed). We have 3 boys 11, 9 and 2. Dh works in a responsible desk job with a longish commute by car. out of house 7 till 7.30 approx. At the moment I do all the childcare, housework etc during the week unless out and all night wakings. (including weekends) . He does get his own food in the evening but doesn't tidy up after himself.
At weekends he does do diy and garden and some admin. Also possibly cook one meal. Again it is me doing the hard slog like laundry and nappy changing , housework etc and sorting all other meals, washing up etc. I am always up 1st at weekends as he gets up before me during the week.
I am now in a position where I want to return to work so the current set up isn't going to be sustainable. I am struggling to keep up at the moment tbf.
so say I was fortunate enough to get a Monday to Friday job say 9 to 5. I would obviously still doing afterschool pick ups etc and childcare till dh got home and whatever housework I could do.
Any ideas on what the split should be after that appreciated.
