Does your husband help with bath/ bedtime routine (even if he works full time)?

My husband didn't with our first but did with our second. But for some reason I feel like our situation was different he missed the first month of our 1st life and I missed the first month with our 2nds life so to be hospitalized right after being discharged from labor. They were more attached to the ppl that was with them. My husband would get her to bed abs everything before he left for work cause she wanted nothing to do with me he had her spoiled

Mine used to more (at least with bedtime) but now my daughter only wants me

It was a long way but he's at a point where he puts 2 kids to bed, while I take care of the third one.

He doesn't do bath time or anything but at least he's been doing the bedtime routine for 3 children since the beginning of this year.

It took me a lot of arguments and resentment but it's better now. I'm at a point where I ask for whatever I need. I don't stay silent and feel overwhelmed and irritated anymore. He's a dad. He needs to step up.

There was a time where I was dreaming about a divorce because it sounded like I would get some breaks when he takes the kids and where he would realize how much work it is.

We both work full time outside of the house (except I was on leave and now it’s summer break because I’m a teacher). I work less hours overall though at my paying job.

It’s not necessarily set in stone but we do alternate days to do my toddler’s bedtime after our family time in the evening. I put the baby to sleep since I nurse her to sleep.

My husband mostly does bath time. Either of us will clean up from dinner. I pack lunches for the next day.

He usually makes our dinner at the same time, or is tidying up from it if we’ve all eaten together x

My partner does bathtime 5 nights a week for our daughter (would do all 7 but he has commitments 2 nights a week which means he’s not home to do it) and has done this since she was able to bathe.
I then do massage, PJs and breastfeed her to sleep.
If she wakes whilst we are downstairs we take it in turns to settle her again.

He doesn’t do overnights as he works full time and can’t breastfeed her

After he dang near almost let my son drown I don’t even want him to honestly lol but also when you want stuff done Right do it yourself and that’s another reason especially washing my daughter it’s a certain way we as women have to clean ourselves. He offers but I just do it.

Sometimes he offers and gets on with it, sometimes he has to be prompted but he does do it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mhm. He works full time and is primary parent after work until he goes back to work the next day. He’ll take baby when he’s done work and start prepping dinner for us all.

He’s done bath every night without me. I usually take that time to tidy up the house, run the sterilizer, prep his room for bedtime, etc.

We’ve put him down for bed together every night since he was born (with the exception of 3-4 nights where I’ve been out with friends and he’s done it solo - I have never done bedtime solo).

He’ll wake up with baby at night and try to settle him first, if no success, I nurse back to sleep. And in the morning after I nurse, he’ll take him downstairs and get breakfast ready for him/feed him solids. This time I use to scroll on my phone, shower, workout, etc. And when he leaves, I take over.

I usually wash her up and then he lotions her up and gets her dressed sometimes it’s vice versa. And yes, he does work full-time.

Bath time is my husband’s forte, every night without fail. Although the rest of the bedtime routine is me 🤣

My husband works evenings/nights, so he's at work during bedtime, but on his days off, of course he helps. If it's bath night, he helps with bath, and usually puts him down to bed both nights he's home. Since he works opposite hours as me, he helps with lunch and nap time while I work. So we try splitting the routines and share the workload as much as we can

Of course!! Shouldn’t even be a question, I don’t care if he works full time, what happens when I’m back at work? 🤣 xx

I was working mom with my 1st and 2nd baby, and nos my older girl has 5 years and the baby has 9 months, but my husband is completely involved in raising the girls just like me, I always need to ask for cleaning or other duties but when is about our girls he is alway involved, even he can make proposal to improve something like getting a new lamp for the room or choosing lullabys, brush hair or making lunch, we think the kids is not a duty that we can pass to the another parent if one of us is working full time 🫢 now I am not working and I have a lot of duties at home and he still help with his daugthers

We usually take it in turns but if one of us is tired/needs a break the other steps in. But normally yeah I do one night, he'll do the next etc. Or sometimes he'll do bath, I do bed and vice versa. Depends on the day!

My husband is in charge of night time teeth brushing (if he is home from work), and hates doing bath, but will help if I need him too

Only bath time , occasionally dinner & bath , or Rock to sleep after I’ve fed her and she’s not playing ball

I’m always putting my toddler to bed and that takes 30 minutes to an hour 
My husband would dress him up after bath (sometimes does bath if I asked) and he would clean the kitchen while I’m putting him to bed

We have always done bath, story and bedtime together. Our little boy is 2 next month. We are expecting our second baby in 8 weeks though, so it may change when we’re juggling both x

We both work so yes x

We both work full time so alternate the bed times but both help with bath since my daughter loves standing in the bath

My husband does bathtime and then I do story time. Husband then comes in for a last story and cuddles.

Sahm we do it together! He tries to make it home every night for it because he doesn’t get much time with little guy. He’d probably do it himself if I asked…but I want to do it too ◡̈

She works full time. She does the dishes after dinner. She plays & reads with little one between 8 and 9. At that time im laying in bed. She then brings her to the potty, brushes her teeth, brushes her hair, changes her into a night diaper and jammies. She has been doing this night routine since basically birth. If it's bath night she handles that as well (shes been doing bath routine for almost a yr). No, she doesn't get up with her in the middle of the night BUT if I ask her to she absolutely would. I know this because there have been times I just needed her to step in and she did without any complaints. Like if our little one peed and it spilled out of the diaper I wake my wife, always. And she cleans them up, changes them, while I change the sheets.

Yes because we do the same thing everyday.

My husband works second shift so I usually do bedtime. We do it together on nights hes home and we split bath time. I wash, he dries

My husband helps a lot, he mostly does bath time/ bedtime with our toddler while I focus on our 1 year old twins. He would also take one of the twins to settle if he’s done with our toddler and they’re not settling, honestly I wish all men would see being home looking after our babies as a Job, cos it’s a full time Job. I don’t know how I’d survive without a helpful husband especially with 3under3!

We both work full time. My husband has taken bath time as almost exclusively his duty. I do the bath if he’s busy with something else, and I’ll come in to hang out while they’re doing bath time, but he’s pretty much taken this task off my plate (he’s a lot more fun at bath time than I am haha). And he is totally involved with bedtime too, especially while I was pregnant he would usually be the one to carry our toddler upstairs to bed (sometimes my toddler demanded me, but he still comes up every single night to say goodnight and feels it’s part of his fatherly duties). It makes him sad when he misses bedtime if he has to work late or whatever.

I don’t think I can survive bedtime on my own 😀

My husband does bath AND bedtime, every night. He also makes dinner most nights. He works two jobs. And he feels like he doesn't do enough.

We both do it and I’m a sahm. My husband also does the over night bottles. I take over in the morning and day time

My husband does help majority he’s cleaning downstairs and I’m getting the kids ready for bed. He will jump to help when he finishes cleaning.

No because my baby only wants me. He would love too...

My partner works part time... and may help once a week 🙂
He's doing bathtime a bit more lately though, he says he actually enjoys it... I also enjoy getting home and chilling while I hear them playing with stacking cups in the bath 😂

Yes he did when she was younger

Yes and he still does bedtime twice a week for the past couple years because I have dance class at 7pm-10pm I come home and the baby/toddler is asleep and tucked into bed by him. Tuesdays and Fridays he does full bedtime without me there. If I go out/see a friend Sat night he does it then too. I do it Wednesdays without him because he has bowling league

My husband does bath time, gets him in his pjs and reads a book then I do bedtime.
He owns a business though so when it’s a busy time at work he’ll come home for supper and play with our son for an hour or two while I have some time to myself (I’m a sahm) then goes back to work till 10-11ish and on those nights I do bath and bedtime.

It’s a no from me but only because he then does all the clenqning while I’m putting my daughter to bed.

On nights he does a 10-12 hour shift I let him rest and he’ll help put them to sleep. Other days I wash with the twins and he’ll do everything else.

Nope, my kids are 4 and almost 3 and he has done bath/shower less than 20 times...even if he does read some books before bed the kids still ask for me to come read or the routine isn't over with. He does other things but I wish the night time routine wasn't all on me

I work full time too.
But my husband usually does bath time and gets our son ready for bed and then our son usually wants me to rock him/read him a book/put him to bed.

It’s just what works for our family. Currently pregnant with baby #2 so we will how much our dynamics change.

My husband stays at home with our daughter, while I work full time. When I get home or sign off work, I take over playing with our daughter while he cooks dinner. Then I feed her, do bath and bedtime while he gets a break, though sometimes he joins for the book. It works for us!

No, but its the only thing he doesnt like helping with. Plus on the days im home with him, it is done before he gets home sometimes anyway

Yep - he starts early and comes home around 330. Everything is split between us from that time. I do all the cooking as it doesn’t stress me but it stresses him, so he clears away after every meal. Bedtime is joint, we both take the kids up and he baths them while I prep bedtime stuff, he then puts our 2 year old to bed and I put the 1 year old to bed (they go down to sleep at the same time) we both ‘start our days’ at the same time so it’s only fair that we split the load with the kids when he gets home x

Yes, we do 50-50. When we just had one child, we took it in turns each night, now we have two we tackle them together-divide and conquer.

Why would working full time exclude them from a routine that happens outside of working hours? Unless they aren't at home, or they're doing something in the house, which is fair enough. It shouldn't be "helping" either, it's not solely our job and they arent just helping to parent, they are a parent. I get a bit ranty about this sorry, I just can't be doing with dads who think work gives them a pass. I work 4 days but longer hours, if we both used that excuse nothing would get done.

you’re blessed

My husband always does bedtime and the evening routine because I work in the evenings. The only exception is if he’s away in which case I squeeze bedtime in between meetings 🫠 But yeah, my husband is definitely the primary evening routine parent and he’s also the primary first thing in the morning parent so that I can sleep a bit more. I’m very very lucky.

Yes every night. One night ill put our one year old to bed and he will put our 4 year old to bed. Then the next night we switch. That way our oldest gets time with each parent. When I was little my mom always put the girls to bed and my dad would put the boys to bed. I wish my dad wouldve put us to bed some nights so now I make sure we alternate.
Honestly though it would piss me off if my husband sat and did nothing while I put both kids to bed. I font care if he works, those kids are his too and not just my responsibility.

My husband does bath time every night, if he’s back from work in time. He works full time, as do I. We alternate nights, whoever did nights the other does mornings
