WOHM do your husbands help with the kids in the morning?

kevschickee2

I mean getting them ready for the day like diaper changing and getting them dressed?  My husband is pissing me off I know he didnt have to do it when I was a sahm because it was my "job" but I need to get ready to.  I take my showers at night and god forbid he does that to so he can help me out.  Grrr we had words about it this morning

My husband is gone before we even wake for the morning so thats a big NO.

He helps (sometimes) in the evenings though, with homework help, dinner and bed time stories.

Yes, mh helps.  I do shower in the morning though and he doesn't.  I get the baby up and totally ready (well, I bf so that makes sense) and he gets Kyle up.  We pack the diaper bags together for the most part.  Oh and he deals completely with the dog.  So, he does help a lot but I pretty much demand it!

Yes, our routine is dh gets up with jacob while I get dressed, then if there's time he'll shower and get reeady. If not, he'll wait until i am out the door and take ds to daycare. I couldn't do it w/out his help. I mean, I could, but I'd have to get up even earlier than I already do!

My dh has to leave at 6 am for work, so no, I am on my own.  If he were home at that time, there would be no question about it; he would help.  I wouldn't even have to ask.

No, he doesn't. I try really not hard to think about it too much b/c it will just get me pissed off. There are other things he does, for example, he does the night feeding so I can sleep. However, when that comes to an end, I think we'll need to discuss our current arrangement.

Honestly, DH was MUCH better about it when DS was younger than he is now. Why, I have no idea. I've always worked, so it's not a matter of he was used to me doing it. Yesterday, I had a fever and didn't feel good so he got up with DS, but fell back asleep on the couch. I could hear him snoring on the couch, so I finally got up at 8. Ugh... This morning, I'm still sick but feeling MUCH better and I got up with DS and am doing better with him than DH did yesterday. LOL

ETA: This is on the days we're both off... I didn't realize you were talking on the days you work. In that case, we're very lucky in that my FIL comes over and stays with DS until he wakes up. DH and I both leave long before DS ever thinks about waking up.

I get up at 5:55 and take a shower, put makeup on, do my hair (I wash my hair the night before).  Sometimes DS wakes up before me but he's content to stay in his crib until I'm done which most time is 6:30.  I then get him up and he drinks his milk.  Once he finished with that I change his diaper and get him dressed for the day then wash his face and do his hair.  Then I sit him in front of the TV to watch Little Einsteins while he eats breakfast.  Then I'll go get dressed and make DH get up and I'll leave.  DH brushes DS's teeth and gets his stuff ready for daycare and drops him off.  I definitely do the majority of the work but we have a routine so it works for us.  I'm sure DH's days of sleeping in will be over once the next baby comes and I'll be needing to BF instead of getting DS ready!

Yes, he does his best to help. He does sleep later than us so sometimes we are all ready to go and get loaded in the car by the time he is up and showered. Lately DD doesn't want his help for getting dressed and that has been a pain. She wants "mama to do it" for everything. He does try but I would love it if he would get up earlier and give me MORE help If I sleep later our entire schedule is thrown off since I do mostly everything.

Yes, after I told him MANY times...

Our routine-- I get up and get in the shower, (he showers at night) he gets up as soon as he hears me turn the water off. He gets Jake out of bed gets his milk and pancake and puts him on the couch to watch spongebob, then lets the dog out. Then he goes and gets ready for work and leave about 10min after I'm out of the shower... After I'm out of the shower, I'm mad dashing around to get dressed, do my hair, change Jake's diaper, get him dressed and shoes on, let the dog in, pin her up, and grab everything to go to the car-including Jake and leave.

I'm exhausted by 7:10am.

Rarely.  If he is still home when L wakes up, then maybe.  But right now, L and I have a pretty good morning routine.  Any help from DH is just icing on the cake.

Jaylea

He does drop her at daycare on the way to work. (I pick up)

That's it though. I get up 1/2 to an hour before them to make coffee and take a shower. Then I get DD up, get her dressed/fed/entertained while I iron for H and I, and we all leave at the same time.

Kapalua

If N wakes up while I'm still home...I change him and grab him some breakfast.  H does daycare dropoff so he takes over when I leave at 7:30 and gets him ready for the day. 

Sarahpep

Yes. DH and I get up together, when DS gets up. I make the coffee. We have a cup together. I take a shower at 6:40. While I'm showering, DH will make lunches or get DS dressed for daycare. Then, we swap. DH goes to shower, I do which ever task he didn't do. After his shower, he goes out to warm up the cars. I turn off the lights, etc. and then DH brings DS to daycare in the morning.

I leave when they're all still sleeping, so he has no choice.

No, he is gone for the day before I get out of the shower.

Due to our scheduled DH gets the boys ready 3 days a work week and I do 2.
