Is this fair split of responsibilities?

[Anonymous]

My husband and I made the decision for me to return to work on a PT basis after having our first. Prior to baby, we had a great system of whoever came home first cooked and the other cleaned up. We evenly split other responsibilities and went grocery shopping together. It’s different now and I want to spend time with my baby on the days I’m gone. Is it’s fair to suggest we split the responsibilities by day? He cooks and cleans up on the days that I work so I can have evening time with baby, and I cook and clean so he has evening time with the baby on the days I’m home. Is this a fair split? I’m trying to figure out the logistics.

I think it leaves your DH with no time with his kid on the days you both work.

Maybe that doesn’t bother him, but I think you need to explore whether it does and maybe try it to see if it does.

He will have time those days but less than the other evenings. About an hour those 3 days a week.

If you’re working PT you have more time.
Compromise on what you spend that time doing.

Maybe one of the days you work, you could have meal prepped for so you can just pop in a ready made one pan meal so you both can have baby/family time after work.
