DS is 8 months old and both DH and I work full time. We're very lucky in the we don't have any child care costs. I do a 9-5 mon -fri job (work from home 1 day and am the bread winner). DH is a manager in retail and does shift work. This enables him to look after DS 2 days a week. Mum and Dad look after DS the other 2 days.
Now before I start I am not moaning. I know that it is DHs work pattern that allows us to not have to put DS in creche.
But....lately I feel more like a tag team than a family. I barely get to see DH and on the evenings where we are in the house togther, by the time DS is in bed, dinner eaten and cleared up, I'm tired. This means that no housework is done which puts me in an irrational bad mood every now and again. Lately it is more now than again!
DH plays golf, which I don't begrudge as I go out and about meeting friends and shopping and the like, all with DS but I love that :)
I guess what I want to know is that you lot are all the same and if not then what can me and DH do to rectify this? I think it annoys me more than DH. Or maybe it doesn't. We haven't talked properly in a while :(
