We both work. He works evenings (not night shift) during the week and I work weekends. At the weekends, he looks after our DS while I work. But every weekend, he always complains saying our DS is not napping so my DH cannot nap, and saying he just refuses to sleep (my DH loves his sleep as he is always tired - welcome to my world!) He asked me if I can he a SAHM and he can work full time. I said no because I like working! I have always worked and never imagined myself being at home, unemployed.
I prefer to work, earn money to save and pay our bills and to be engaging in a different environment with adults for a change. I feel that he doesn't want to take care of our DS anymore...! He makes me feel guilty every weekend about how tired he is but I am the one who wakes up at 5.30 every morning with him, plus at the weekends to go to work and he gets to lay in 90% of the time, plus he sleeps again every single day just before he goes to work except for weekends as my DS obviously does not nap!
AIBU for actually wanting to work? I love our DS but I was also the one taking care of him 24/7 while I was on maternity and he hardly ever slept cos he had reflux and colic!
