Just wondering what the general consensus is. I would say I do 95% of the housework and taking care of our DS (who is almost 2 months old) and my DH tries to chip in where he can as he works full time. However we’ve been arguing about this topic for the last few weeks.
He seems to think he does more than enough considering he works full time but doesn’t understand that housework and taking care of an unsettled baby all day is a full time job.
How do you share the work load with your partners and should full time partners get off lightly?
I do housework and take care or DS all day, then my husband comes home at 7:30pm does a couple of hours of taking care of DS whilst he eats his dinner and I sleep, and then in the evening around 11 we swap until the morning when he goes to work again. He says that’s fair, I think it’s not. Btw DS is formula fed so it’s not like DS relies on me only for food. I’m wondering how lazy my husband really is. Opinions?
