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

Yeah my husband works second shift so when he has a night off and our routine changes I'm not a fan
