Basically just comparing to some friends.

DH works physical job one hour away from home. 6 days a week Leaves 7am Home at 5 pm and farms for 2 hours. Home 7pm for dinner made by me and shower. Then generally takes over I have kids pj's on 1 x aged 4
1 x 9 months old

He does bedtime I then have from around 8.30ish to myself but also dishwasher uniforms etc.

However I don't work, well I don't have a paid job! Child 1 at school until 2pm and baby at nursery 2 x mornings 9-12.

I help to care for elderly in-law and do shopping bit of cleaning etc for her.

Visit my family and friends. Few lunches out.

My family are all saying I'm ridiculous and do nothing. I feel like I do so much?! Am I really spoilt??? I don't really care what they say but just wanted outsiders opinion. It's okay for them husbands working from.home etc but mine is literally away 13/14 hours everyday and we aren't financially struggling. Of course I could work a few evenings or weekends but he earns more so surely it makes more sense for him to work. Am I being called spoilt for being traditional?

Thanks if u got this far lol

Your DH timetable sounds awful, I'd be taking over some of the farm chores if I were you.

Are you the poster who had a bit of a meltdown about your DH not being around to watch your DC blow out his 3rd birthday candles as he was responding to a neighbour's sheep/dog emergency?

He's also heading overseas this weekend for a show(weekend of drinking and fun) 😆

I also class the farming as a sort of hobby. As its his grandfathers he actually doesn't get any money from it but enjoys it?! No guarantee that it will ever be his
