Does your partner help?

My partner is the one who works full time because his job is able to support us. I work 1-3 days a week and usually 8-14 hours a week. It’s “my job” to do all of the baby stuff and all of the household stuff. We have 7 mo and we have moved twice since our LO was born. He does watch our LO when I work and we don’t use daycare.

Shes 7 now but it's always been 50/50

We’re new parents and my husband is very involved in everything from baby house work even though I’m on matt leave and he’s working

Of course, he’s a parent too and I refused to have a baby with someone that wouldn’t pull his weight. He also wants to be as involved as possible and loves being dad.

Our LO is nearly 7 months. I’ve been back at work full time (7-3 Mon to Fri) for a month and our routine is that he gets her up in the morning about 6.30, changes her nappy and makes the bottle for me to give her (and coffee for me at the same time), I get her dressed while he gets ready for work, he drops her off at nursery 7.30 on his way to work. When he gets home about 6pm he does any bottles and nappies needed right up til bedtime, where he does her teeth, runs her bath, gets her dressed, does her story every other night or cuddles her while I do it, then we take turns settling her if she wakes during the evening before we go to bed.

That’s a bit of an essay but is our daily grind, and we do still snap and argue at each other a bit but never over how much the other contributes or does.

He doesn’t “help,” he parents his kids, he cooks, he cleans, and he runs a household with me. I didn’t marry a helper I married a partner.

He’s my son’s father so he acts like his father.

My partner is great. I think naturally I take on the additional responsibilities like admin stuff but in terms of responsibility of looking after our child its 50/50 x

He will help, but I have to ask.

I say mostly 50/50 but it's more like 70/30. Hubby does the school runs and will look after our son whilst I'm at work, he will also put him to bed if I don't finish on time. I will look after him on my days off and we share some housework duties. I do all the cooking, ironing etc.

50 50 here even though I work part time and him full time. With bed times, we have a good balance we take it in turns to out her to bed and attend to her overnight. We both think the other is doing more which indicates a good balance I think.
I have had evenings when partner has come home, cooked, cleaned while entertaining LG and put LG to bed and I did nothing. The other way has happened too though rarely.
As he is full time he usually takes over at the weekend, getting her dressed, outting down for naps etc.
Basically your situation is not really normal in our household. Parenting is 50/50. I do more the food side of things but thats just more in my interest otherwise its as equal as it can be. I chose to have babies with this man though as I knew it would be 5050, I wouldn't have otherwise x
