My H is now off work for 2 months (teacher).
We have DC6 (who will go to summer clubs) and DC3 (no clubs available for their age).
People think I'm barmy for paying for clubs when I have an H at home all summer.
My DC3 and H are at home every day for the next 2 months. H does look after DC, but often PJs all day, he watches loads of telly, often is in garden by himself, they don't DO anything. Maybe H will do one load of washing and then say "I would take DC out but so much to do round house". H spends a lot of time on his phone on the sofa. DC is actually quite self-contained, loves building, colouring, but he's left to own devices or telly watching really.
I work in a shed in the garden but v close to house and can see all this from my window
I find it v frustrating and upsetting to watch sometimes. I've been dreading summer hoidays for weeks.
Is it unreasonable for me to start going to the office full time? I feel bad as I'm abandoning my 3 year old and i worry perhaps if will be even worse if i'm not here - i give him loads of cuddles and play with him on my breaks.
But also it's not working on me or H to have me here - H feels 'watched' and judged, I feel so frustrated that our 3 year old is going to spend nearly 2 months in PJs watching telly.
AIBU just to leave them to it? Or should I stay and help out - not for sake of H of course, but for my DC?
