Currently TTC so I know this is fairly premature but I'm interested in how other couples work out their weekend childcare routine (if / when breast feeding not an issue).
DH works extremely long hours during the week and we are both aware that majority of childcare will fall to me during the week (plus childcare with me working from home p/t), and that we will obviously both be knackered the whole time.
At weekends, how do couples manage looking after the DC? We have talked about each having a bit of time off where the other parent looks after DC by themselves, but also want time together as a family. I often see dads out with babies on a Sunday morning round my area - does this work? I'm conscious of finding a structure which helps us both feel supported and also both get that little bit of headspace. Also I know how lucky I am to have this option and a supportive DH.
Would be interested in knowing your weekend structure if you are part of a couple.
