If your DH works and you stay at home with the kids...

[trullis]

Interested in how other parents split their time with the kids. I'm currently still on furlough but this question is really for any SAHM or anyone that is currently the primary parent for whatever reason. When your DH/OH finishes work, does he do bath time and bedtime while you get a little break or do you do bath/bedtime leaving him to have a break from work and put his feet up?

Keep them coming, I love reading everyone's responses.

@Imacompleteidiot I agree with @OnlyFoolsnMothers ... be more firm, get a hobby and he will have no choice but to stay home with the baby and give you a break. You deserve one.

DH home for dinner then does bath and story and we now alternate bedtime.

I sure as hell don't leave him to put his feet up- we both need that. And i'm not a 1950s stepford wife.

We usually try to sort out the aftermath of dinner/ other jobs

In a word - no - my DH has never come in from work, rolled up his sleeves and taken over the DC! TBH, if I'd been at work all day I'd probably have been the same too and I'm always amazed by these DPs who come in and immediately get stuck in on the home front - all power to them if that makes them happy - but as the SAH parent I knew that however boring my day had been it was not the same as being at work all day. Ultimately, couples have to do what works for them and LPs don't have a choice. Now my DC are old enough to bath themselves - thank goodness!

I do bath and bedtime while my husband tidies up the kitchen after me and loads the dishwasher - he is normally sat down on the sofa before I am though

I am on a sabbatical following mat leave. DH wfh due to Covid. Our 15mo wakes between 5 and 6. I do the first hour and a bit giving him a feed and playing, then DH takes over for 2 hours while I catch up on sleep and get ready for the day. I then have DS from 9 through to bedtime at 7. DH around to hold him when I need some help etc but doesn't really do childcare after morning stint. When he finishes around 7 though he will start clean up and dinner and then I'll come down and we finish it together. Weekends split evenly and we try to give each other some time alone. We have our own household chores we do too so that's mostly even.
