[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither of you should be running yourselves ragged between 7:30pm and 10:30pm. You guys should align on the bare minimum to be fine before bed and make it equitable. For most, it might be put the leftover food away and run the dishwasher.

Then, you need to talk about a weekend schedule. No one gets twelve hours off from parenting during the weekend. But really, isn’t this kid napping 3-4 hours a day? That is a good time to relax. And then figure out a plan of who does what on the weekends.

But, I also get the sense that you want to both make your own baby food and work 60 hours a week — and that just isn’t ever going to work without you being pissed off all the time. You have to drop the rope on some things.[/quote]

Op: the kid is almost 2 so he has 1 nap. I cook for the kid 3 times a week while watching the kid. It’s not that difficult TBH.

He does not want to reduce his kid free time over the weekend. He says he needs it. [/quote]

I don’t see how this is a problem though, since you’ve made clear you want hands on child time during the weekend.  To me the more important problem is that the two of you don’t do anything together as a married couple, and rarely spend time together as a family.  It’s like you are two childcare providers that pass by one another as you end your shifts.[/quote]
