[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What worked for us is to address the day in the morning and make a plan, 9-5, for who's available for child and when. "I'm booked for a 2pm and 3pm call" etc. It was the only way I found to get my spouse to treat my job as equal. We identify who is "on hand" for child at any given timeframe during the day, even if kid has an activity. That way expectations are set, meals are covered, and there's a point person for emergencies. It was unacceptable to me (and I communicated this to spouse) that we be ensconced in our ivory tower home offices all day when our kid is home. You know your DH better than us, but to me, it sounds like he's gotten spoiled having the house to himself during the day.[/quote] This is what we do, too. We compare schedules the night before and essentially create shifts for ourselves. Also, OP, suck it up and give your kids lots of screen time.[/quote]
