Ok so my dh is generally brilliant round the house re division of labour etc, cooks dinner every night, sticks a wash on as needed etc...
However, I have noticed that sometimes when we are both in, like this morning, he will take himself off to do a job, and I am left in charge of the children (3yo and 5mo). If I have domestic job to do though I have to do it in between bf the baby and the 3yo grappling at my legs asking me to read stories, play choo choos etc.
This morning dh cleaned out the fish tank and descaled the iron, but it was clear that he was not to be disturbed during this task, whereas I am trying to get ready, and er the children ready and sort laundry etc at the same time.
So this morning i have told him I am going to iron for 45 mins and he will have to entertain dcs.
I think sometimes he uses or even invents 'jobs' to get out of playing with dcs, and sometimes I've said I'm going to have to iron or Hoover or something and he's said 'oh just leave it' but actually it does need doing and he's trying to put me off because he knows he will have to watch dcs??
Whereas his jobs are always very important and can't be put off .....
