[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work 65+hour weeks with a young baby. We WFH. We have childcare 45 hours per week.

My husband does more childcare than I do though I am typically responsible for the back-end of that - researching food for the baby, coordinating schedules, milestones and educational opportunities, meal prep.

He says he does not resent him having to do more childcare and do more physical work around the house (I do stuff in the background too, like setting appointments, pay bills). I manage to get enough sleep but I basically only work, take care of baby and do chores. Almost no exercise, no time for myself, etc. but that's ok, I'm ok with my priorities there.

I am afraid though my husband resents that. He says he does not, but he mentions how he's the only one doing the dishes, for example. He does have some free time - 1-2 hours on weekdays and a bit more on the weekend. He works around 50 hours per week.

He's not on board though with my downsizing b/c I make good money - unfortunately not enough to get much more help. Once we can find a vaccinated cleaner, we will have someone come in once every couple of weeks, but for the past year, we have been doing it ourselves.

Thoughts?

You appear to mainly whine and complain.  Why did you have a baby if you are not interested in spending time with your child.  Of course, your DH resents that you do very little.  Prepare to be divorced.[/quote]
