To ask DH to come home early?

[WhenZogateSuperworm]

DH has a busy job, usually comes home between 7-7:30pm. He is a manager within a public sector and can work flexi hours or from home, however finds it difficult because he is often having to supervise or fix things that have gone wrong in the office .

I’m nearly 39 weeks pregnant and feeling lousy. Not in labour, just feel rubbish. No energy, Braxton hicks really uncomfortable and I’ve had 2 year old DS home with me all day.

AIBU to ask him to come home for toddlers tea time to help me out? I feel bad asking as obviously when I’m in labour he will need to come home but I’ve just had enough tonight and don’t think I have another 3 hours of toddlertainment in me.

OP, how come your working days are so long - you seem to be expected to do the equivalent of 7.30am-6.30pm, and you spread that over your day. That's a lot of hours!

@Catalicious I teach. My class leaves at 3:30, I tidy my classroom and leave school for 4pm then need 2 hours in the evening to mark and plan.

Ah, I did wonder. That's full on and definitely okay to ask for more support.
