[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound like a jerk. Your DH has 3 hours to do his job? Is he underemployed (lower position than he is capable) or employed part time? [/quote]

OP says she is doing 4 to 6 hours of childcare while working full time, which means (if kids awake roughly 12 hours a day) that her DH is doing about the same amount, but not working full time. And some months not working at all...this is crazy. Why is everyone piling on OP? I hear a completely burned out woman doing a second shift.

It is common sense to me that the person with the less demanding job, not responsible for family benefits and income should be taking on the lion's share at home.

No, OP says she works from 8-10:30 then 1-5:30 which means she does 2–2.5 hours middle of the day and probably 1.5 hours at night. So 4 hrs max while her husband does 8 hours. [/quote]

OP said her kids nap. So you can probably shave off 90 minutes-2 hours from her husband's time. And I would guess a lot more than 1.5 hours at night. 1.5 hours would be 5:30pm-7pm.
My toddler is not in bed by 7pm, but rather 8:30pm. That would be 3 hours after her workday + 2.5 hours middle of day. Thus, 4-6 hours of childcare for her per day.[/quote]
