I had DC 3 just 4 months ago and am a SAHM. DC1 and DC2 are both at school during the day.

I find the hours between picking the kids up from school and DH getting home really stressful.

DH is always late home from work. If it was because he had a lot on then I would understand but the reason he finishes late is because he never gets there on time in the morning as he won't get out of bed on time!

I have asked him so many times to please get to work on time so he can be home on time and help me, but my pleas seem to be falling on death ears.

Am i really being unreasonable to expect him to make an effort to get home on time to help me?

Bit of back ground so I don't get accused of aibu by stealth. I am struggling with PND at the moment and so am finding things a bit mpre difficult than I would do usually.

I also understand that DH is knackered because he does the late night feed so I can sleep and then I do any night feeds.

Please be honest, I can take it!

Fantastic

Do pop into the surestart centre, we have one near me and it is really welcoming with lots of help and advice if needed. Ours also do free baby massage courses etc...

im quite about the surestart - the one here opened up just as DD started playschool so i missed out on it - other mums rave about it.

Brilliant about the play group = good on you, you are taking control.

Chatting up other Mummies is almost more daunting that dating!! Well done you for asking about the toddler group.

Well done memoo. Sure Start centres are fabulous (well, ours is) - the facilities are great and the staff brilliant and very welcoming. I took DD from when she was a baby and even when tiny she loved having her feet dangled in the sandpit, and doing paint hand/foot prints. They have a sensory area there now for little babies. Good luck!

Well done you! One step at a time...
