How often is your partner with you and the baby/helping?

My partner works 7.5 hours, 5 days a week. Leaves at 8.45 and home by 5.

He spends every evening and weekend with us. We are never apart as a family x

Have you talked to him about it? The feelings and what you need?

We have 3 children, 14,10,1
Husband is out 7:30-7:30 5x a week. He comes home and does whatever needs doing. Washing up, ironing, putting the kids to bed. It's his house and family too

Sorry he's gone all day and then hangs out with friends on weekends? That's ridiculous. You're basically a solo mom at that point.

I am in the same boat.
My partner has just opened a restaurant/takeaway, and works from 10am-12am everyday. He’s just started to try and take Wednesday afternoons off, but it’s all dependent of his staff and if they can manage.
I have found it a really hard adjustment for me and my 4 month old, but I understand why my partner is doing it, to ensure that we are okay. When his staff are capable, he will step away even more. It is alot of work, with my son and the housework, and being on my own most of the time, so it’s nice to also know that there’s other people that can relate xx

My husband works 9-4/5, thankfully. And he is with our son in the mornings, does daycare drop off. And helps with pickup when he works from home (3 days a week, around 4/4:30). He is with us all evening from whenever he finishes work to when the baby goes to bed. He is with us every weekend. From morning to night.

I do think our situation is a bit weird. We share all the same friends. So if we do hangout with friends, we do it together. Our son is 2 and my husband has never left to go hangout with friends. The only times he’s left us are for work events (ex: company Christmas party, travelling for work out of town, etc).

So while I think our situation is unique, it is healthy for couples to have alone time. But if he’s going to see friends, then you should too (without the baby).

There should be a middle zone between my husband being home all the time and your husband who is out all the time haha.

My partner works 5 days a week. 8 until 4:30. He takes care of our 15 month old from when he finishes work until I get home from work (I work 3 days a week 8-6:30). He didn't used to do much else in terms of giving me a break so we implemented 1 morning each weekend we each get the morning 'off'. So he has Saturday morning off to recuperate from his working week and I get Sunday mornings. It's actually so nice to have that morning to do my hobbies or whatever I want to do. X

My boyfriend works 7 days a week, on a farm with maybe 1-2days off a year. Most nights he isn't home until after our daughter is in bed and during seeding/harvest seasons he isn't home until early morning hours (1-4am) and then back out after a few hours of sleep.

We live on the other side of the country from both of our families so it's just me and my daughter 95% of the time. He doesn't have the time to do anything around the house. I do EVERYTHING, I care and raise our daughter, I take care of and raise our dogs, I do all the cleaning, the laundry, the shopping, the yard work, I pay for everything for my daughter and myself. He only pays the rent and for his personal bills.

You are not being a baby! It is extremely difficult to do it all on your own ♥️ I’m I guess used to it by now because it has always been this way since the moment we got together and we had discussed me solo parenting when we starting trying to conceive.
