So a typical day today

Wake at 6.30am
Put a washing in, quick tidy up
Wake kids about 7.30, make their breakfast
Get myself ready, drink coffee on the go
Take kids to school then go to work (9-2)
Get home at 2pm, walk dog, eat sandwich on the go
Pick kids up at 3pm
Take kids to activities
Come home, prepare dinner, serve dinner.
Take dd to gymnastics
Do dishes
Do homework with kids
Organise clothes for next day
Take ds2 to football training (7.30-9.00)

Plank arse on the sofa and draw Husband dirty looks as he got home at 5pm and hasn't moved from the sofa since after dinner (not even for a pee)!!

In between the above I've taken the dog out 3 times. Seriously it's a mans life alright. And I have a migraine coming. This is my life Monday-Friday.

So basically AIBU as I only work PT so all the above is down to me or am I a mug? Dh was up and away to work at 6.30am btw.

Iteotwawki her DH gets home at 5pm and sits on his arse. I assume your DC don't go to bed at 5pm so your situation is not like the OP's. If you don;t get home in time for bed and bath, you work longer hours than either of them.

I stay at home. I do the housework and cook, I don't iron much. My DH and DD (occasionally) wash up.
OP, in your situation, I think I would know what I could do. Then do it!

You say you do everything during the week. What's he like at weekends when he's not tired? Superdad, or still a waste of space?

I was going to ask the same as noblegiraffe. Does he pitch in at the weekend, with the kids and getting stuff done, or does he act like none of it is his responsibility.

I had to adjust my husbands expectations when I went back to work part-time but he did see that there was an inequality and he knew that he was also responsible for family life. It took time but he got it. I'd have been devastated if he had told me where to go, he sounds a right prick.

He works most weekends but even when he's off he doesn't do much, I had to ask 5 times if he'd take ds1 for a haircut as I had to take dd to a party last Saturday. He will make dinner at the weekends though I guess that's 'something'. He enjoys cooking though so not exactly got his arm up his back to do that.

I'm really concerned about the way he responded! What a charmer.
