To think working *Part time is not the easier option?

[Shushupsheshouted]

I worked full time all my life (teaching and tutoring in the evenings and weekends) until I got pregnant at 39, not through choice, ideally wanted a child earlier.
I've been at home with my dc for four years, very grateful for this, but it’s also been hard work and I’ve basically done everything around the house and so on, Dh could come home and that was it.
Dc is now at school and I’ve returned to work part time whilst she’s in school.
But I still do everything I did before, with the added part of working outside the home too, is this fair?
I get Dd up and ready for school, breakfast, dressed etc and drop her off. I then go to work, pick her up after school, bring her back, usually stopping to supermarket shop on the way back, get snacks ready, walk the dog, clean, make dinner, then sit down for dinner when Dh gets home. It’s then alternated between us every night, who does bath, stories and bedtimes.
Weekends have continued to be the same, I cook on Saturday and Sunday, Dh generally do the garden when it needs doing and sometimes wash the car.
I hate it being seen as I *Only work part time, when really I feel I’m doing a hell of a lot and it would be easier to stay on a couple of hours at work, rather than fo all the extra crap?

Your work arrangement is crap, it leaves you either working or with a child to care for, there's no breathing room.

Although from a practical POV I'd ditch that PITA daily shop straight away - plan for week, online shop, job done (well, inevitable small shop for things I've forgotten).

I think you've got yourself into the position where you are available to do all that stuff. You can't really moan about it once this is the set up you have come to. Pps are right it isn't working part time that is harder it is arranging your part time work so you also do all the other stuff. You have to communicate about any changes you want to happen because at the moment it suits him. You sound like a bit of a martyr.

I know the feeling, I do school hours except I have Fridays off otherwise dh would have to do a lot more. So dh works an extra 2 hours a day but doesn't have to deal with school run, homework, playdates, dinner etc etc. If I had to work more hours I'd much rather keep my Friday but financially it doesn't make sense.
