[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]

Unless your DH is an extremely high earner and you can cut back on you hours/hire help to compensate you need to drop the rope and demand he pull his weight.

Either you get up early and go straight to work and he fully handles the morning shift or you continue to cover the morning routine and he starts going in earlier so that he can cover the afternoon activities .

Why are you being such a doormat and letting him take advantage of you, not to mention teaching your daughter that it’s okay for the men in her life to be lazy and take advantage of her.[/quote]

He needs to get up and participate in family life fully and if that means he functions on five hours of sleep then so be it.

I would never tolerate this.[/quote]
