Anyone else feel like this

I feel like that sometimes when my other half goes into the office to work rather than working at home lol the house somehow feels cleaner and calmer lol

I live in an area where this is actually quite common because a lot of partners work in camps away from home for days or weeks at a time... mom has a good routine going to manage the kids alone, and as soon as dad's home it all gets thrown into dysregulation. A lot of my cousins grew up like this. No advice, not sure you were looking for any anyway, but it's definitely not uncommon!

I get the same way. My partner has 2 other children, and when he and they are all here, there is chaos. I just remind myself that my daughter loves having him and them here and inspite of the mess we are happier together ❤️

My partner is FIFO so yep I get this!! I feel abit bad when he’s all sad about leaving for weeks and I’m all giddy and excited to have some peace lol

I feel your pain, the kids are an angel for me when it’s just me but when he steps in the door it’s like BAM I’m gonna be naughty & im also not going to sleep!

My husband is gone at least two nights a week, if not more. As soon as he leaves I do a good clean of the house because I know I'll get to enjoy the clean house. Even with the two kids at home, it still stays a lot cleaner than with him home

I feel the opposite, we have a 3 year old and an almost 4 week old baby, he's had a month off work and it's been great I've loved it and so has my 3 year old as he spends so much quality time with her, helps with house work, cooks tea ect I'm not looking forward to him going back to work tbh
