Hi ! Genuine question as I can see both sides of the argument.
My DH works 3/4 days a week, shift work 15 hour days. I do a similar job but I'm part time so work 1/2 days per week same hours.
He's always had a set routine and leaves early as he doesn't "do late". He's always been the same. I on the other hand will throw lunch and work bits in bag and leave at last possible moment.
We have a 1 yo. This morning she was up early and I decided to bring her downstairs. He wasn't annoyed or shitty with me but did subtlety say he'd prefer to be "left alone" whilst he gets ready for work. So I asked whether he wanted us to go back upstairs and he repeated that's what's preferable.
Our daughter is becoming more active and whilst I could entertain her with toys upstairs etc I guess I just was looking for a chat etc as he got ready as I wouldn't mind if roles were reversed. I'd see it as extra time spent with DD? He's very hands on when he's home so no problems there...
Ok.. AIBU awaits firing squad
