Fair enough, mine have always done 7-7, will it not be harder to change him as he gets older?

Not having a go, just asking

They adjust very quickly when the time comes for them to go to school. Just think how knackered kids are over that first term or so, they fall asleep in their food. Bring bedtime back slowly over a month is kinder but getting them into bed at the end of a school day is a doddle.

We (son and I) were away ourselves from Tuesday to Friday morning, too busy to find a child friendly place with wifi to do a food order while visiting friends. Had planned to be back last night around 10pm, but that went out the window and with a poorly child I couldn't do it at 2am either. There's next to no food in the house and poorly son was napping. So that's when I organised the food shopping. Must have taken all of 20 minutes.

So you were away? , so not stuck in the house slaving away then

yes it is tough , being married , bringing up kids , and yes you BOTH should make the most of your weekends doing stuff together .

I was a SAHM with 4 kids , my OH worked very long hours , so I did everything except the DIY , tbh when you are at home you can pick and choose what to do , housework doesnt really take that long , I didnt have much time to myself , but thats life , the kids soon grow up and you can really reap the rewards in quality of life then .

can you not move closer to where he works , ?

How will being better at housework or moving make him want to be a more involved husband and father?

Not really. His current contract ends in March. We don't know where he'll be after that. Bit expensive to buy a new house every 6 months
