Work and baby life balance

We are amazing but it's sooo hard and goes unappreciated. My daughter has just started school so now on my working days, I have to do nursery and link club drop off on the way, make sure they both have bags/coats and everything they need as well as my own stuff, I'm doing a mental check list for three people and my husband just trots off stress free lol. He does work a lot of overtime to balance me working part time so I try not to begrudge him but it's definitely easier swanning off to work 😅 It's so hard trying to be a good mum, partner and employee, something has to give at some point. Take it easier on yourself x
I feel the same and have to take annual leave to do housework etc. Recently on a weekend I have been asking my partner to take Jack out of the house to soft play etc on a weekend morning so I can get some stuff done and I also delegate to him things he can do if I take Jack out! Then we spend the afternoon together. But even with this the women will still carry "the mental load" of a family, all the activities, appointments, food shopping, clothes shopping etc.
Iv been thinking about this recently. I don’t have time to do all the house chores as well as a full time job and looking after a toddler. Men just don’t get it do they! In reality I need to work 4 days a week but earn the same money and then I could have one day a week to get the washing done, cleaning food shop etc . . 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Yep, my husband doesn't understand. I work shifts so have time of in the week but still feel like i dont have time, mothers mental workload is real, looking after family, appointments, house, bills, payments, constant lists running through my head. And no time to myself
