How are you managing being with DP 24/7

[louise5754]

I have anxiety and autism.

I don't leave the house much anyway.

Obviously the kids are usually out 8-4.

Husband works away weeks / months at a time so it's usually just the 3 of us.

I don't / can't work so when DH is home we are together 24/7 for up to 6 weeks at a time - never any longer.

He's usually upstairs working on his laptop or watching movies as usually he's had no sleep / his body has been through shit.

If we were all sat in the living room everyday I don't think I'd cope so him being upstairs is not much of a problem.

He cooks and does the shopping and the kids behave a bit more when he's home. The house is a state though. I can't go to bed early and watch TV like I sometimes do.

He's stricter with the kids. He's eating just for the sake of it.

I feel your pain! MY DH lost his job before Christmas and got another job driving for a school. It took forever for his medical, DBS and references to come through. He finally started work one week before the schools closed! I work 3 nights per week so essentially theres no let-up....Im trying to be patient but its really hard, especially because hes useless at DIY etc.

Separate bathrooms and ensuites 😁

I mean separate bedrooms!

We haven't shared a bed much either. I've been on the sofa or had a kid in bed with me and he's been in their beds or vise versa. He has the tv on until late so I prefer it.

Much better. I've been off work with symptoms (back on Tuesday) so we have had to either get on, or risk one of us committing a murder.
It helps that DH has been "housewife" while I've been working and now seems to have a much better grasp of how much needs doing in the house.

I’ve just had a baby so lockdown is pretty great for us at the moment!

He's WFH full time and me half the week. We're having a lovely time, keeping each other from getting bored and laughing a lot while going slightly weird.

Were getting on well actually. We've agreed to alternate who does the washing up and who gets up with ds to reduce any risk of bickering. And we are watching a few movies a week together for "us" time instead of just sitting on phones in the evening.

Dh and I are OK at the moment. It's the dc who are doing my head in and I'm trying my very best to not yell at them but I just want to run away!

We’re loving it.

I am loving having my dh home.. we are getting on better than ever

I like listening to DW's little huffs and squeaks as she works her way through a crochet pattern. Hopefully she feels the same way about my muffled curses when I get ambushed in PUBG.
