This is a bit of a long one
Up until Jan i was on maternity but now I work 2 days a week 8-5. I don’t drive so on those days I’m out the house 6:30-6:30 as I have to drop and pick my older son off at child minder. When I was on maternity I did everything cooking cleaning etc as my partner works 5 days a week.
Since I’ve gone back to work it feels like I’m just doing everything. My OH rarely helps around the house if he does it’s minimal. He comes home from work and basically asks me what I’ve done all day!
I do a lot and he just doesn’t see it.
In Aug he goes away for a long weekend every year with his mates and they were having a discussion about taking another weekend at some point in the year too.
All I said was it’d be nice if I could have time off and he flipped out at me basically saying I always stop him doing things and that I get 5 days a week off when I’m not working!
I mean what do OH really thing we do on our days off?
I have my son I get up and take him and get him from school, the rest of the day is spent juggling looking after our 8 month old and doing housework or anything that needs doing. When he’s I’ll hell spend all day in bed then get up to play PS4 with his mates. When I’m ill I have to carry on. AIBU I’m feeling like this? I don’t get weekends off which would be nice or even just some help around the house!
Sorry for the rant just feeling very frustrated atm

I get the same from my dh. I work 2 - 3 days a week (14hr shifts in health care role) and do everything at home. We have a 3yr old dd, so my days 'off' are spent looking after her whilst doing all of the housework. He often wonders what I do all day. If he has our dd on a weekend day when I'm working he'll just go out all day with his family and won't do any housework. It drives me mad

Leave him with the children one day, all day, and remind him that the washing/pots/cleaning the kitchen/bathroom needs doing before you leave the house for 10 hours.
When you get home and the house is a tip, ask him what he did all day...

Screw that... Book into a spa for a week. Leave your phone at home. Your house will be a total tip and he will be a wreck when you get back.

Why is a spa the answer to everything on mumsnet?
