[quote=Anonymous]My DH works really long hours, getting home after our baby (10 months) is in bed and he usually works for several more hours at night.  I try to let him sleep in in the mornings because he goes to bed so late, so he doesn't help with the morning routine either.  He tries to keep working to after bedtime hours on the weekends, but it doesn't always happen. He really doesn't do much around the house except I ask him to move heavy stuff or do discrete tasks on the weekend.  He also takes the baby for a walk for an hour or so each day of the weekend to give me a break.  Truthfully, it is pretty relentless at home, although less so as we get out of the tiny baby phase, but his job is also pretty relentless and I feel like we are each trying hard at life in our own way.  He makes a lot more money than either of us ever thought we would have and, right now, we feel like it is worth it.  We are building up a big cushion so that we will be able to make more interesting and creative lifestyle choices in the future.  There is no way that I would have signed on to him working so much if the money wasn't so good.  OP, if you are not getting the long term security, the job might not be worth it.  We do have a weekly cleaner and hire the occasional date night babysitter.  If/when we have more kids, we will definitely hire more childcare help.  We also hire someone to take care of our yard (a rowhouse so not much of a cost) and we have a designer who manages the work when we do big projects around the house.  I don't resent the situation because it is something that we both agreed to and we both see the benefits that will come in time by working hard now.  Before we had the baby, I had a regular 40/week job so I have always handled everything on the home front.  It works for us. [/quote]
