How do you do it.
Frequently see threads where op is moaning that their dp doesn't help (wrong word I know) with housework childcare etc.
Invariably you will get some who say I am a sahm with a preschooler and I get it done. Dp works all day so he should be able to rest in the eve etc etc.
Well I a sahm with an 8 year old a 7 year old and a 1year old who thinks sleep is for wimps!
In the eve dh does literally nothing. I do bedtime of baby and supervise bedtime and do baths for older two. I cook for me and dc. Dh doesn't eat eith us.
The house is usually untidy and its a struggle to keep on top of laundry for 5.
He does do abit at weekends but most of the childcare and general day to day stuff is down to me.
Am I hopelessly inefficient or should dh be doing more?
He does also do garden and diy.

Sorry I see it was bedtime he did. Well he can learn to do bath time and he can do bedtime, at least once at a weekend. He's abdicating responsibility for his children and I think it's time you called him on it otherwise nothing will change.
