mrsgboring hope the boys are feeling a bit better? Orbit and DS1 were better very quickly, but when I got it I was laid up for nearly a week. Hope you're ok too.
On the equality thing, I'm lucky enough to earn a decent wage, but have the different problem of it being very difficult to work part time. My kind of job is almost never advertised part time, and as I was made redundant when DS1 was born, I have never had an employer to go back to where I've built up enough goodwill for them to consider part time.
I'm really hoping my current employer lets me work part time in the spring, as otherwise poor old Orbit is going to nursery full time and I don't feel happy about that. No judgment on those who do, it's just not right for our family and for Orbit, I don't think.
I'm also lucky enough that DP is not against the idea of him working part time instead (I earn more than him, just) and he would love more time with the boys, but because he runs his own business it just isn't feasible. So equality? Well, in theory we have it in this relationship, in practice it's a load of old bollocks. Oh well.
Auld your night sounds rubbish. Hope you're lying down with a nice cup of tea and a lebkuche right now.
Orbit seems to be improving on the sleep front although still waking up more than I'd like - no idea what's causing it now, can't see any teeth coming through for a change, but something is still troubling him. He woke up every hour on Saturday until I gave him ibuprofen, then slept for a good stretch, so it's definitely a pain of some sort.
