My fiancé and I own a small business and used to work there together before I had our son. I worked there up until the day I went into labour and we agreed that I would continue taking care of appointments and admin work from home after the baby was born. So I'm a SAHM who cleans our shop every morning (with my baby playing in the shop too) and I answer all emails, do our stock checks and ordering, do our bank runs, and take care of all other paperwork that needs doing; this week I've been working on a report that requires a lot of research and gathering of evidence. I also cook a meal for my partner and take it to him on his lunch break. I usually get up at around 7am with the baby and then start admin work when he goes to bed at 8pm. I. don't. stop.

My fiancé works at the shop from 10am until around 5pm and does a few hours of work at home in the nights. He works hard, don't get me wrong, I am grateful for what we does, but man if he makes one more comment about hard work and how tired he is and blah blah blah I am gonna flip.

This morning his alarm went off at 7am and woke the baby up because he didn't turn it off. I woke up too and he shouts into the nursery "good morning handsome boy! Don't worry mum will be in soon! Tell her, come on mum!" 😒 I get up and he follows downstairs about 20 minutes later. He's yawning and doing his whole sleepy act, and says that he might try to rearrange his morning appointment to tomorrow as he only has a half day booked in for then and he could REALLY do with going back to bed this morning. So I suggest that he could go back to bed, or if he was having some time off today he could look after the baby while I do some paperwork, because it has to be done and it would mean I could catch up on some housework while the baby naps instead of doing admin stuff. He smirks and says "yeaaaahhh I could do that... But I still have to work later, so..." 😑 I'm like "yup, and I have to look after the baby for the rest of the day too, as well as do work stuff, and house work, soooo....." 🤷

He says he sees my point and he does have a little bit of work to do this morning but he will help out asap, adding that I must've "had a good sleep last night with the baby sleeping through?" which I would have if he didn't snore like a pig and flail around like a spider at a rave 🙄

I leave the room for 15 minutes to give the baby his breakfast and when I come back in, he's asleep on the sofa, and wakes up startled like "oh um yep cool that's done then, uuuhhhh, yeah, so, uh...ok I'll just have some breakfast and a coffee and I'll give the baby breakfast for you". Firstly, too slow sunshine, secondly, you'll give him breakfast, for...me?

I've sent him back to bed and he's snoring so loud that the baby monitor in the next room is picking it up.

MEN!! Guess who's having a takeaway and a massage later?! 😂
