We have an 8 month old and I SAHM with him. I was working full time before. We also have 2 dogs. My husband is in the military so where we are at we don’t have any family around. His hours aren’t consistent but we have been lucky that he does get home at decent hours.

When he is home though he is either sleeping or drinking. He’s got reduced hours because of the virus which he said he would be spending more time with our LO but instead he is on his phone or napping.

I feel like I have to constantly ask him to help me with our LO or ask him to help me with things around the house. He use to leave his clothes everywhere at least now they are getting closer to the laundry basket. I have to ask him to take the trash out on trash day or ask him to put food out for the dogs.

I try to remind myself that at least I am lucky he is here. But also I’m just tired and tired of having to ask him. I wish he would just do it and say Hey I got this go take a nap. While I may not be the one actively going out to work being with our LO 24/7 with no help or breaks still gets to me sometimes. Don’t get me wrong I am blessed to be able to SAHM and I knew my husband was in the military but also like I need a break too sometimes. 😣

Does your partner who works make an effort when they are home to be present with your kiddos? Id love examples
