have a not very hands on partner.
I have two infant school aged children and a 12 week dd. Dh is out at work from 6am to 8pm most days. He is no help in the evenings and at weekends much of his time is spent on hobbies. 1 full day every 2nd weekend out of house for starters.
Sinnce having dd he has probably changed fewer than 5 nappies. He also took very little leave. We only had one week day at home before he returned to work after my section.
As a result I am finding it really hard to keep on top of things. I know I am a mug to do it but the ironing will not go down. I just about gets basic housework done but thats it.
How do other people cope?
I know I also need to get him to help more when at home. O and I do all the nights as breastfeeding.
