[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread and a curious span of arrangements. Varies a lot, it seems. We have a preschooler in addition to two school-age children, and while I sah, my spouse works a lot, but I wish he would take bigger part in wake-up and bedtime routines, or just sit down for dinner with us. Instead, he prefers to spend time with friends pretty regularly, almost every weekend. Does everyone think it's fair?[/quote]

When my DH was home for dinner (usually was) he’d eat dinner with us and spend time with DCs, helping with baths and bedtime etc when they were small yes. They were in bed by 8pm anyway- plenty of time to relax after. Now that they are older he helps with picking up from activities, homework or just hanging out in the evenings with DC also. I don’t consider this to have anything to do with SAHM/WOHM- we are both parents.

Him spending time with friends on the weekends is totally fine unless it is totally excessive, leaving no family time. I have time to see friends for lunch during the week etc while he does not. I do sometimes go out for the evening (so does he, and sometimes together also). I’ve never had a problem with him playing golf with friends on the weekends. If I have something I want to do also, I get a sitter (which he is fine with). [/quote]
