Are you sitting comfortably..?
DP works 4 days, I work 3 so there's no childcare. He does two earlies (sat, sun) and two lates (til midnight mon and tues). I'm a teacher so 8-4 wed- Fri. So far so good.
Obv I have terrific holidays- am on half term as we speak. AIBU, tho, to think that I actually am entitled to SOME HOL? At the moment I have the kids full time Sat - Tues but instead of DP stepping up for his normal childcare days, he seems to think that because I am holiday, I can look after the DC on the other days too. I don't expect to lie on a chaise longue, having peeled grapes dropped into my mouth but surely a 50/50 split of these extra days would be fair? When I unilaterally announced that I was having a holiday day yesterday, leavjng him the onerous task of taking kids out to lunch and a play with MIL, you'd think I had told him I was jining a satanic cult, rather than having a sleep in for an hour then later having a sandwich with my pa! ( before slipping back into norm and chasing about and entertaining MIL when they all piled back here half an hour after me, rather than reading my book and having Five Minutes Peace as I'd planned).
I accept his job is physically hard and longer than mine but even so..?
