[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guy works 45 hours a week and does all the "direct care" and OP is somehow resentful? Buy more help around the house. Or find a job that works less. Good lord, OP sounds insufferable. [/quote]

Yeah, the husband has a job, does majority of pick up, drop off, takes care of the child, puts baby to bed.

What more does the OP want?

Maybe she wants a divorce.[/quote]

Again, double standard. What working woman do you know who rests and relaxes at night for a couple hours after the toddler goes to bed, reads the paper for forty five minutes in the morning while spouse readies the things for daycare, and plays video games (or the equivalent) for 7 hours a day on the weekend? I know zero. If a mom did that and let her husband hire a babysitter so she could rest she would be absolutely excoriated.

Let’s also just be clear, the daycare is a 10 minute walk to the house so the pick up drop off is not a huge thing. The 2.5 hours of care on the three days a week he does it, sure.[/quote]
