aghhh, think i need to rant really as it sometimes seems that i am a single parent. DH works five days a week and stays out at work one night. he works about 50 hours a week. i work four days a week (hours reduced due to recession).
his day consists of getting up at 4am to go to work for 5am and finishes any time between 1pm and 4pm. he washes the tea dishes and that is it all week, maybe once a month he might do the ironing.
my day - i get up at 6am, walk dog, washing in the machine, dried clothes in the ironing basket, bed made etc. get ds fed, packed lunch put up,him dressed and off to my mum's before going to work for 9am, i finish at 5pm, come home, walk dog, take washing out machine, bath ds, make tea, walk dog, sometimes ironing, read to ds/homework, unpack shopping, get ds's uniform etc ready for next day and the usual housework that needs to be done. on a weeked i do all the housework and dh either goes to the gym or tries to look like his is busy.
i know he works more hours than me but that's his choice - he doesnt need to work so many hours as we don't need the money , he ends up most weeks wasting any extra left over anyway. BUT surely he could do a little more, even if it is just emptying the machine?
anyone else feel the same about their dh's?
