to not want to work full time?

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Due to skintness and DH now out of a job I have upped my hours.

I. Am. Knackered.

I know I am U but I like having 3 days off a week. I am simply too lazy and too feeble to work hard.

I think this is rather interesting, given the threads where husbands and partners work long hours and are castigated for not pulling their weight on the housework front.

Oh I castigate myself for being rubbish.

Makes no difference though. I'm still undomesticated and crap.

And over the years have done a massive amount more than he has with the childrearing and breastfeeding and getting up at night. DD2 was 6 before she slept through the blasted night. Who got up? Me.
And I do other stuff. Like choosing curtains.

Taggie You are fab.

When I work 5 shifts in a row it effing kills me. And even though I work 18 hrs a week ( but sometimes much more then 2weeks off IYSWIM) I cannot get up in the mornings. DP gives the kids their breakfast and I stagger in at around 8am and literally cannot speak in a civil fashion until I have had 3 large mugs of coffee. Only then can I string a sentence together.

In my defence I do frequent night shifts and I did spend six years bf and getting up for small children in the night.

But still - poor DP.

Six years!!!!!!!

Without mumsnet!!!!!

I am owed.

I don't want to work full time either!
