                    Im asking this, as im always getting grief from the wife that i / we never do anything.
Ive inserted a poll to keep things smooth.
Overall - How many hours a week do you / does your partner work.?

Edit..
Poll is wrong, 2nd from bottom needs to be 45hrs to 60hrs..

            My hours are flexible, I can pretty much do what I want - but realistically 70+ and always at least six days a week.
Sometimes I can't leave work unattended and have to sit with it overnight in case it goes wrong.:staradmin:starmod: beware of geeks bearing .gifs...:starmod::staradmin:starmod: Whoever said "nothing is impossible" obviously never tried to nail jelly to a tree :starmod:0 - 
            Between 45hr - 50hrs per weekI don't work. OH works fulltime, always more than 40 hours, usually in the 40-60 hour bracket. He often has to work weekends too, and doesn't get many holidays.
We did used to have a bit of friction about things - as I'm home all day, when he gets in I wanted stimulation, to do things. I'd have a list of chores or things to do, which wasn't very welcome after a long day at work! Luckily I learnt to recognise how tired he is, and now I don't nag. More stuff gets done that way and we are both happier.Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 - 
            Between 45hr - 50hrs per weekI work 9-5 Monday to Friday but I do loads of work from home as well in the evenings and on weekends.
OH works Monday - Sunday varying hours and has one, sometimes two days off each week but they never fall same as mine :mad:
Feelie - OH and are the same if one is off and the other is in work. We got home knackered just wanting to chill, while the other is full of beans and wants to do things and just witter on about crap!A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

            Between 31hr - 45hrs per weekI work 37-ish hours (flexi) a week, my OH now works 37 but in previous job has worked up to 60.0

            Between 31hr - 45hrs per weekMy husband works full time 9:30 till 5:30 and has an hour and a half commute either way... I'm a full time Mum, my work never ends...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls...

            Between 31hr - 45hrs per weekother half is in the police so his hours are a bit random. I do expect him to do stuff around the house if he doesnt start work till 2.
its all trying to find a balance. My oh has a mum who did everything so hes not used to getting his own finger out for housework.0
