Working long hours during the week doesn't mean you can sit on your backside all weekend.
We have 3 dc including a young baby. It's full on all week and at the weekend. I do virtually all the childcare 24/7: i think he may have changed 3 nappies in 3 months! Baby not sleeping though. So far this weekend dh has cooked 1 very basic meal and made dc some sandwiches. Leaving dirty knives and crumbs on worktop I had wiped minutes earlier
Aibu to think this isn't enough. So I am expected to do all the childcare, housework, laundry etc and clean up after everybody.. Is that a fair swap for for 60 hour working week?

No. YANBU.

You will lose your mind & he will lose his wife if this goes on

He should share the load at the weekend so that you both get the chance for a break or you will end up feeling resentful.

YABU to not have put any indication of what the thread was about in the title.

YANBU to think that you both deserve equal time to spend doing as you please, which with 3 children does not include him getting all weekend "off".
