Does anyone else leave their toddler in the morning for their dad? Like I can hear her shouting (not crying) but I wait for him to wake up to go get her out of bed.
The reason I do it is because if I were to go and get her, he wouldn’t get up, like I mean would stay in bed for an another hour or two whilst I’ve already been up and started the house work. Also, during the week when we have work and she has the childminder, I’m always the one to get up, sort myself out, the house and the dog out, then get her up and ready, then he gets up 10 minutes before he has to leave and does nothing.
So am I wrong for leaving my her in the mornings sometimes on our days off? Cuz he’s making me feel as though I’m wrong for doing it.
Would also like to point out our daughter never wakes up before 7:30 (except childminder days), most days she doesn’t get up until 8:30/9.

Heck, no! Have you spoken to him about it? It sucks when you have a partner but still feel like a single parent doing most of the work and working a job as well!

I don’t think you’re wrong just cause he works doesn’t mean he’s not a dad. i’m guessing you stay home because it’s cheaper than daycare, which is normal reason so you have a job and he has ajob. He needs to take responsibility just because he works does not mean he gets an excuse to be out of fatherhood and I feel like a lot of men need to understand that too.
