When does your DH get home from work?

Jokerette · Mar 16th, 2012, 17:23 PM

When LO was first born DH was getting home at like 5:00 or 5:30.... Now he's back to getting home at 6:30 or 7:00 which is when I'm trying to do a nighttime feeding, bath, and bedtime.

I want him home earlier so he can help with the bath and maybe hold LO so I can have a break

I know he's excited to see LO when he gets home but I don't want to postpone everything too late or he.ll be awake until 10pm

My OH gets in around 7.30pm, or sometimes later, it really sucks. LO usually goes to bed between 9-10pm, although she doesn't seem tired before them so I can't 100% say that's due to the time OH gets in, if we try to put her down earlier when she's not tired she just stands up in her cot and screams

I'm going back to work in a few weeks and OH will be staying home with her during the week and working a couple of nights at the weekend. As I get home earlier than him (around 5.45pm) we're hoping we can get her into a better routine and get her to bed earlier.

Around 7:30 and leaves around 5:45 am. Wished he was home more, but friday morning looking at the bank account usually lifts my spirits

Around 7ish. He gives lottie her 7:30 feed and puts her to bed

My husband usually gets home (unless he is in trial) around 6:30. He gives Jake his bath as soon as he gets home. Its their "time". Unfortunately for my husband there are nights he gets home after Jake is already sleeping.

Mine leaves for work at 7 and gets home at 10pm pretty much every night so count yourselves lucky

5:30-6pm usually. Then he showers and gets on the computer. He cooked dinner tonight, usually he'll hold Autumn while I cook, then we bathe her and give her a bottle, and one of us walks her to sleep!

Around 6:30AM. Leaves for work at 8:20PM....it's nice cuz me and LO get the bed to ourselves! We swap in the morning - when we get out of bed, he gets in it!
He wakes up around 7pm-ish most days, so I pretty much am the sole caretaker of my little man.
