Household responsibilities
Show your support
My husband works full time and pays for all our bills. I stay home with our boys. I do mostly everything around the house during the week my husband doesnt get off work till 9:30-10pm at night. Then on weekends we help each other! It works well for us. I will say on tuesday and thursdays I work very part time while my grandma watches our boys I dont need to I choose to.
I’m a SAHM to almost 2 year old, my husband takes care of us financially. I take care of all the household stuff and most of parenting duties. He does dishes every evening though, and takes care of our daughter on the weekends when I need to do something.
My husband works full time and gives me all the money to pay the bills, he takes out trash after work, and hangs up his laundry. I cook, do dishes and everything else. I stay home with our 2 boys.
My husband and I both work full time. There’s a lot of give and take in our schedule to allow each other time to go to the gym, work overtime as needed, etc. But, a normal day looks something like: 5:00 am husband walks and feeds the dog then leaves for the gym, then goes straight from gym to work 6:30 am I get up with baby, get him changed, dressed, fed, and ready for either grandma (3x/week) or school (2x/week). I also unload the dishwasher and load any dishes from the night before, take the kitchen and diaper trash out if needed, make the bed, etc. 8:30 am I start work (2 days remote, 3 days in office) 3:00 pm husband gets off work, comes home and showers, does dishes, walks the dog, etc. 5:00 pm husband picks baby up from school (on school days), I usually get off work and go to the gym 6:30 I’m home from the gym, we’ll do dinner together, then we kind of alternate who’s on baby duty and who’s doing chores (prepping next day meals for us and baby, finishing dishes, etc.)
The saturdays we usually have sitters late morning to afternoon so we’ll catch up on other stuff or have a little time to ourselves, and Sunday is our family day and laundry day.
We both work but I work longer hours. He takes care of the household/outside things that he can that needs to get done. I do what I can when I don't have to work more later after bedtime. I definitely fall short during the week but definitely try to make up for it on the weekends. We really just do what we see needs done as we go too.
