So I left dd...

[bunch]

Home with h all.day.long. I have a promise that I will never hear the phrase "so what do you do all day?" ever again.

Sahmommymartyr ftw.

[luvmagoldn]

YES!

:y:

I don't think H has ever been home all day with both girls. I went out of town and he flew his parents in to help.

LOL

also... what did you do all day with your "time off"?

I spent the morning taking my time at trader joes and the afternoon at my little's dance recital. And to be fair, I came home for lunch and helped bathe the baby.

Not a single thing that he did today has been picked up or cleaned, but I'm not about to say anything. I don't have to

I was on a business trip to Germany when the twins got sick. So DH was on 24/7 for the whole week because they couldn't go to day care. He even took them to the doctor and the pharmacy.

After that experience he said he can handle anything.

I'm posting from my phone but insert the thumbs up icon here.

DH had to stay home for 2 full days when I was sick with the flu. He was begging me to get better, lol.

DH used to have to watch V for 13 hours when he was off and I worked. Now he changed his schedule so his days off always correspond with mine

DH said this to me this week because the house was a mess: "It's not like you do anything all day".

FUCK YOU is what I said to him.

I think I may try this little "trick" and see if that changes his tune.

Fuck you were the first words out my mouth, too. Do it. You won't be sorry

The first time DH had both kids for a few hours, he said "I don't know how to do it, honey." I told him it was the most romantic thing I'd ever heard.

I went out of town for work last month. I had to put the dog in the kennel because DH knew he couldn't handle the boys and the dog... (yet I manage every week--granted my job isn't as stressful), plus I had the nanny every afternoon from 3-8pm since he doesn't get home from work late and had her lay out clothes and make lunches for him so he didn't have to in the morning.).

I think men can't multitask, but I also think DH is much more attentive to the kids than I am so it is either playing with the kid or doing the dishes but not both at the same time.

[chessie]

Pretty much DH would just call a sitter and call it a day No back up no way.

[MadamePresident]

I'm planning at least one night each week that I will be gone so my DH can bond and be 100% in charge of our child once its born. I think its important for both parents to be able to have one on one time with the kids.

I consider myself very lucky that MH SAH for the 1st 18 months. He doesn't totally get how exhausted I am by Ari's bedtime (I always did the evening dinner/bedtime routine duties after work & he was in school, so he didn't do the whole day when he did SAH), but other than that I rarely get shit from him.

[definitelyO]

glad that he gets it. even if you are a SAHM it drives me crazy when I hear about DH who have never stayed a day with their kids and have no idea what to do or how to take care of them.
