Oh god i'm the complete opposite - he's the one who's tired after work! Alex sleeps all night and has done since he was 4 weeks old so I've not really been tired from that but i have all the housework to do and I'm always in the modd plus I've found that it's better since giving birth. Nicky's always too tired tho so it's now just really a weekend thing! lol!
I am so glad that I am not alone on this one, I knew that trying to balance family, work, home and a relationship but I had no ideas just how much. Should take advice from prozacfairy and get him a blow up doll! xXx
There must be lots of us out there. I work full time and look after my 3 boys. I don't even get to sit down until 8pm. By 10pm I'm going up to do the dream feed and bed. Hubbie works away 3 days a week so it's just me to do everything. He comes home and expects the big welcome back but I'm shattered. When I get the boys to go to him he says he needs 1/2 hour to wind down. By that time it's bedtime. Even at the weekends he only looks after the little one when he's asleep so I can go and do the shopping (as long as I take one of the others). He said we discussed this when he took this job on but when he is at home am I wrong to expect him to take some responsibility.
No way are you wrong, ur hubby helped make those kids so he should help you bring them up! I hate that everything is put down on the woman, when men look after them they just look after them when we've got them we have to look after them, tidy, up wash up, do the washing, do the shopping and everythin else! xx

i know what you mean, im a stay at home mum and my partner works 50 hours a week but he still has enough energy but come 8pm when my son harvey in bed all a want to do is curl up on the sofa and watch eastenders. when i sometimes bring it up at 9pm he says he to tired but then at 11pm he his nagging because its been a while !! when i say he sould have taken my offer early he says im taking the fun out of spare of the moment sex.
same here. he complains sometimes but he never gets up early (he works shift hours) and i'm always the one that gets up at night. keep her happy in the morning while he stays in bed on his laptop. i love him but he's changed recently i used to be able to leave him the washing and he would do it and get the bottles ready for the next day but now i have to do that too on top of all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and everything else. sorry rant over.
I agree with u 2 and im a stay at home mum lol. I only see my man at weekeneds but even still im still too tired sometimes, dont think he realises its tiring looking after a LO 24/7 and clean the house and everything else!! xx
hel yeah! OH complains coz he works longer hours than me (60) but i only work 20. that might be all i'm paid for but it's me that walks everywhere bout 4-5 miles a day 5 days a week, picks lily up, gets up to her in the night, chases round after her and gets her tea and bath sorted! by 9pm i'm knackered- just want to have a bubble bath or curl up with a magazine and just chill out, cant be dealing with him by then. worst part is he always wants it at like 11 at night and wakes me up which causes arguments! gonna get him a blow up doll i think and put a photo of my face on it... x x
