E on Peanut: Husband wants a week off from parenting 😳

E · 2025-01-15T06:35Z

My husband is recently unemployed. He does barely any housework but cooks sometimes. I went back to work on 6 Jan and the kids are on school holidays. I WFH so I have been doing probably 20-30% of the parenting each day (between 9-5) plus 95% of parenting at other times (including night wakes). Today he announced he is "taking a break" for the next 7 days. He didn't say he would like to, he said he is. I understand this to mean he would like to do zero of the child caring responsibility for 7 days. .... He's fucking dreaming. So he genuinely expects me to WFH while simultaneously caring for the children while he SITS AROUND DOING NOTHING. To be clear. He's unemployed. Why the fuck does he think it's acceptable that I do all the housework, all the paid work and also all the child caring?
