How do you manage household, children and work?

When I work from home, I take care of the entire housework, shopping, cooking, and picking up the kids. I also always stay home when the kids are sick. My partner doesn't take my job or me seriously.
How do I get out of this?

My partner doesn’t take my job and me seriously.

Well, that’s a great partnership in which one doesn’t matter.

Have you ever talked about it? With mediator or as part of a pair consultancy?

If there is so little interest in the needs of the partner and also is not recognizable that you both want to work on it (right, you both, not just him, because being a couple always belong at least. Two), then perhaps wonder why you’re even together.

How does your household, children and work do under one hat?

In short: Criminal organization and schedule + always have an emergency plan in mind.

If I work from home office, I take care of the whole household, shopping, cooking and children.

it’s similar to me. I work 30h, 12h of it at home office. My husband drives trucks – he starts working at 6:00. There is no child’s apprehension yet. So I have to wake our child up early and make school-ready, bring her to school on time so that I can get to work in time.

Overtime I can hardly do as I have to go on time as I always have to pick up the child (as a truck driver he can never say exactly when he comes home).

Emergency plan is here: In the morning we will be 15 minutes earlier. If she turns out she’ll get out of the house on time. If she’s fast, she can read 15 minutes more books.
In the afternoon: grab a laptop, carry phone calls at home (with headset of course), pick up a child, continue working from home and do house exercises with the child.
When all knitting I have already cooked next to working or washed hair…. Of course it doesn’t like to see a boss, but other variant is that I’m lying and standing. This certainly causes my company much more costs than they pay me for the “cook”. If they complain then I won’t do it anymore – then keep behind me the flood. According to the law, I am only obligated to overtime, as long as I can fulfill my duties. If I’m not allowed to work with a child, I’m afraid it won’t work. This is why my company accepts

Household is made the most necessary under the week and most often when the child is in bed. a large plaster is then made on weekends. But my husband also helps.

Organizing things like bank appointments etc before I pick up my child from school. 30 minutes longer and I will do everything before. for doctor visits etc I take the child. Then in the waiting room of the doctor the home exercise is made to save time.
We practice computing houses on the car drive to school just every day.

In addition, I always stay at home when the children are sick.

and why? If the kids are just a little sick and you can do good home office next to that, that’s okay. If they’re really sick then you can’t work next door – and then he can stay home for the kids.

My partner doesn’t take my job and me seriously.

talk to him and make a plan: distribute tasks in the household, make you stay at home alternately with the sick child, etc.

You are home 24 hours and take care of everything, and work next door, while your party is out of the house for 8 hours and then enjoys his free time.

You have to tell him what you’re doing and face his tasks, then you have to say that you can’t leave now for at least 3 weeks alone. He’ll agree with you!

Same here. You have to work your partner. He thinks you’re home anyway and he can swing his balls, but that’s not how it works. When he comes home, he’ll take the garbage out or do homework with the kids.

Why don’t you ask him if he’ll get the garbage out tomorrow? Or if he can get sausages quickly in his lunch break. Or even better if he can go shopping with the kids. So every day something different and reason that there was so much to do with you at work and tell him about it.

Don’t worry about everything at once but a bit every day.

If he’s doing shit, you say you have a job, and if he wants it to work here, he’ll have to do it, or you’ll quit your job.

I know how to put everything under a hat in homeoffice. can you let the washing machine run or do you dishwasher but household AND children??? How’s that going?

Hope your husband packs with me!

I was smiling and I’m glad that I don’t have a partner in the stress that doesn’t concern him.

If you want to show your partner how hard it is, then leave alone and take care of everything. If you’re back, he’ll finally understand what you have to do.

I’ve got two kids, I’ve grown up and I’ve been alone for more years.

Never forget the time of my retraining, that was so stressful.

How do you get out of there? By not doing everything and regulating. Partnership means sharing tasks and responsibility.

Talk plain and draw consequences.
