[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be annoyed that I am the one fixing breakfast etc before my commute while DH sleeps in on a weekday for no good reason (watching tv in to the early AM hours is not a good reason- obviously). Given you leave earlier and he works from home, DH should be the one responsible for waking up and helping DD get ready for school. [/quote]

Op here, yeah there's some of that resentment happening as well. I don't necessarily WANT to get up as early as I do. The main reason I get into the office so early is so I can leave early to shuttle her around to her activities after school (he does not help with this unless I have a conflict, which is rare because I make it work as much as possible).[/quote]

If he wfh why isn’t he helping with activities? Is he at least cooking dinner? Is the time late at night the only time he has to himself because he’s busy all evening cooking and or footing chores?[/quote]

OP here. He gets her off the bus 2 days, I do the other 3 days (those are the days I take DD to activities, sometimes it's more). No he doesn't cook dinner. He's usually working while we are out and about and he eats on his own and DD and I eat together between activities.[/quote]

How many hours/week does he work and how many hours/week do you work (outside the home). What are each of your salaries?[/quote]

There are also other things he could be doing around the house. Does he do the typical "dad" jobs like lawn care and handyman type stuff? Some men do and some men don't and I've noticed the men who do rarely get credit for how many hours that can take.[/quote]

Lawn care, yes, and the bulk of our finances. [/quote]
