To ask, if you have primary age dc

[Zara2008]

What sort of hours do you work, and does your dh (if you have one), do his share of the childcare?

I work part time but I do 100% of the childcare.

We each work 30 hours and each do 50% of everything at home.

I am a single parent of 1 DC.
I work 40hrs/4 days and DC goes to breakfast and ASC 4 days.
Its hard, but better than when DC Dad lived with us and did nothing

I have two KS2 dc. I work 2+ days a week, term time only (I am a supply teacher). Dh works at home and does most of the cooking, cleaning and laundry.

Forgot to add mine have always gone to an afterschool club.

In the holidays I have booked holiday clubs and/or taken time off.

If you have a family friendly employer they might do things like let you have extra time off and average income over a year.

DP works 37hs 8:30-4:30 MTF, I work 25hrs 18:00-23:00 over 7 days.
We have DS in reception and a 14mo. I am the childcare during the day, I serve dinner up and then he’s on the clock. I do life admin, day to day cleaning, shopping etc. He ensures the children are washed, bedded, the washing up done and away, house tidy when I am at work. He will get on with laundry and whatnot while I’m out. He also does any DIY as I’m crap at it and have no interest in learning.
My days are long as I either have at least one child with me and then work til 23:00, regularly not getting home til 01:00, on the weekends he takes the kids out for the morning so I can catch up on resting.
I feel we have a good balance.

1 in primary and 1 in nursery.
DH works full time 9-5. I work 3 days 9-5.

On my non-working days I have DS at home with me and DH does the school runs (school literally opposite our house so very quick). I look after both kids after school run until DH finishes work.

On my working days, we get one child each ready and take one each to school / nursery. DD goes to after school club. We collect one child each after work.

Evenings one is with kids while one cooks, then we put one each to bed. DH usually does reading for school with DD while I put younger DS to bed as it’s the quietist time to do it.

Weekends vary massively depending on what we have on but we share the childcare so we each get some down time.

I work part time 4 days a week, 6am-2pm and DH works full time 4 days a week (2x6 hr shifts and 2x14hr)

We do 50/50 on childcare and house work.

I'm a cash officer and work 9-2ish 4 days a week, (I also have an evening job that I do twice a week) DH works full time (9-5:30/6), but works from home if and when needed (everyday at the moment under the current rules). Kids start school at 8:40, and their school is 5 mins from my place of work, so I do the school drop off, and pick up, unless I need to stay late at work, and DH is wfh, then he will walk down and collect them. DH does their breakfast and school bags while I get ready for work (he's not leaving the house at the moment, so his morning routine is simpler than mine!) In the holidays, I condense my "working day" into two longer days a week rather than the 4, to make childcare easier, as grandparents will have the children for a full day each, and then I get the rest of the week with them. When we're both home, DH picks up the majority of the childcare, but I do most of the cooking, ferrying to clubs, etc. I'd say it works out about 50/50, maybe he does slightly more at the moment, but then he's home most of the time, and not as physically exhausted as I am. We take a child each at bedtime, unless I'm at work. It works well for us.

1 DC age 6, in year 1. No partner, no family help at all.

I worked up until the end of F2, but my hours were 9 till 6 with 30 minutes travel either way - it was just undoable in the end, the poor kid was exhausted with being in wraparound care. I was in a fortunate position (through unfortunate reasons) to be able to give up work, so did that and haven't looked back.

Oh, and too add, holiday childcare where I live is non-existent.

I work 4 hours a day, so 20 hours a week. DH works full time. The default is that I do all the childcare, although DH does do some but his job is not flexible so it has to be as and when. He took them both to school this morning so I started work early.

We both work full time and share care of DC 50:50.

One primary age child

Both work FT, currently from home but were both in the office pre-pandemic, plus some evenings and travel.

I usually do 8:30ish to 18:30.

He usually does 9ish to 18ish.

We are permanently knackered and running to keep up with life.

We have 2dc aged 9 and 11. I work as a TA, so work 9-3.15. DH takes them/collects them 2 days a week. The other three days I drop them off and pick them up (from after school club). We also share after school activities. I do most of the cooking but he helps to tidy/do housework etc. I tend to cook as I am finished a lot earlier. Even when wfh, dh doesn’t finish until 6.30/7ish.

I work 9-5 4 days a week. I get up with the DC, get them ready and take them to school every day. DH is self employed so picks DC on Monday and Thursday. Tues and weds I pick them up from childminders. Friday I do both school runs as I'm not at work.

I cook dinner as soon as I get home, so no its not really even!
