I probably am BU, but would appreciate opinions, particularly from SAHPs.
I work full time, and DH is a SAHP. I often work from home, so am obviously aware of what he gets up to in the day. In general, comes back from dropping the DC off at about 8:45am, he will either do some food shopping, or a bit of cleaning (eg wash kitchen floor, vacuum the sitting room) and he will put a wash on/ hang it up to dry. Other than that he is watching tv, or on his ipad, until it is time to pick the DC up at 3pm. He usually is sat down for at least 3-4 hours a day. Today it will be over 4 hours. He then gives them their tea, which is something easy like frozen pizza or pasta.
Once I finish work I cook the evening meal, make sure the DC do their homework, and a couple of times a week do the ironing. The majority of the housework I do at the weekend (he won't do bathrooms or any cleaning upstairs) and the gardening.
Am I being unreasonable to expect him to do a little more during the day whilst the DC are at school? I appreciate he needs time to himself, and to relax, but when I can hear a film on downstairs and I am working, it is hard.
