How much do you feel like your SO helps with the kids?

Question

Answer

I do the majority of the work and I'm fine with it most of the time. My husband works full time and I stay home with our son. I feel very lucky they we can manage for me to be a SAHM. On the weekends I might like for him to help me a little bit more so I can have some time for myself, but honestly he does plenty for our family. Our son is EBF so I'm the one who wakes up at night, but my husband has to get up early so I'd probably do it either way. He does cook dinner a good 90% of the time, which is super helpful. Plus he's a way better cook than me haha.

Answer

He doesn't really do anything with the kids other than play lol i don't mind. He works 9 am to 530pm then comes home eats dinner, works again from 7pm until around 10 pm. He rarely gets to see the kids so i dont mind him just focusing on enjoying what little time he gets with them.

Answer

I'm not really mad he doesn't help me I'm more mad he never spends time with our son.

Answer

My husband works from 4a.m. to 5:30p.m. So I don't mind that he doesn't do much! He plays with him and spends time with him so that's all that matters!

Answer

I feel like when my baby is older and can play more he'll be more 50/50 but I'd say right now he's a reluctant parent... he doesn't like to bath her unless I'm there (I think he's scared of her crying), he will change her but only when I ask and will hold her only when I ask... he does like to read to her and play with her but still hasn't picked up on her cues like when she's fussing he thinks she's happy... so it's interesting... I have hope though!

Answer

Well, I'm home with her (work at home) all day, so naturally about 80% of the responsibility falls on me. When he is home, we are equal.
