Dh would do a great job, probably better than me. So I won't give him the opportunity in case he wants to make the switch permanent! Though he admits he wouldn't invest as much time into Lily as I do throughout the day.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 11:19:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=345483&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#345483 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : my2angels wrote:It drives me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=345415&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#345415 Author: Candkids

Oh yeah, just to add - I can leave mike home by himself for a day, and I'll come home to a perfectly tidy house... but he is FAR too absent minded to look after seb for more than a few hours, so add him in and he'll sit on the computer all day instead of cleaning or properly watching Seb.. well apart from the odd play (wtf right?)... just too used to doing things in his own sweet time.

Hahahaha I just so had to laugh at that, that's exactly what my DH was like when we had 2 kids

Nowadays DH is the SAHD, he's been at it for 6mos, has up days and down days as you'd expect and I guess if you factor in that I've had 4yrs on him and started with 1 then 2 then 3, not 3 at once, then we'd probably end up about even. We have different priorities though. He is more interested in having vacuuming up to date and I'm more focussed on wiping the kitchen bench]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:07:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344923&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344923 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : MrsMojo wrote:After my DH&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344700&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344700 Author: WigglesFan

After my DH's first week as a sahd he wanted to put her in care - he was not coping at all but he stuck with it and he does a fab job.

He takes care of our daughter Mon-Fri 6:45am - 3:30pm and keeps the house looking good (as much as poss with a destructive toddler) then goes into work for 5.5 hours every evening.

Plus today when I got home I found that my house (which had been a pit because we've had a few personal issues requiring our attention recently) had been completely cleaned top to bottom and the spareroom (which was a bit of a dumping ground) had been tidied and the furniture rearranged and it now looks fantastic. He said he started at 8:30am and it took most of the day - all while taking care of our daughter, he really is superdad!!


He really is a hero!!!

My DH can cope. When #1 was 2.5years I went to Mexico for 16 days leaving him with our child, my sister's two kids (2 & 3yrs) and my disabled and very demanding (but useless) sister. Plus he and the kids all had rotovirus!!!

By the third night he was so sick of cleaning up the chaos of the playroom each night that he threw out anything that was broken or junky and divided the remaining toys into four piles which went 3 into 3 boxes and 1 onto the shelves. Every night he swapped the toys around!

He did magnificently!

More recently he looked after our two while I was in hospital and then recuperating from the c-section birth of #3. He kept the kids fed and happy, the house tidy and the laundry up to date. He was very very happy when I was well enough to take over again though!

Just this morning the kids were all a bit whiney and demanding and as he left for work he saidto me: "It's times like this that I love walking out the door!" pmsl!]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:26:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344700&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344700 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : LOL CaraMel, Willie dresses my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344469&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344469 Author: Maya

Well yes and no DH has been at home with the girls for two days (well he actually only has Natasha as home today) but hasn't cleaned the house so I'd say short term he would be ok but long term the house may fall apart . He has his tidy moments but the house would have to be pretty bad to get him going and I tidied up last night.
Oh and so far he's only called me twice today maybe because I forgot to turn on my phone but he called about 10 times yesterday to ask the stupidest questions. IE Can I give Alyssa another peice of toast? What can I give her for lunch? Do I have to call school if Natasha isn't going? etc etc
But at least he has finally fixed the blocked sink in the bathroom ]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:28:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344427&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344427 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : Mine copes every weekend when...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344395&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344395 Author: Paws

me too but in saying that I went away for 4 days this week and got back and he had done NOTHING!!!! He openly admits he was a real slack arse.

Daniel used to look after hannah on weekends when I worked and I used to get so peeved at coming home to have to clean up and cook tea. He always did things he wanted/needed to get done during the day and just took Han with him, which kinda bothered me as well.

Yip Ben does a pretty good job when I sleep in. He forgets things (likes nappies lol) and always feeds himself first. But I think if he had to do it it would take a few days and then he would have it sussed.

He has higher cleaning standards than me so the house would probably be tidier than what I keep it. ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:08:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344109&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344109 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : My DF does a great job at looking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=344106&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#344106 Author: BabyKiwi

Yes he could definitely cope. He's had the kids when I went away to Taupo for the weekend Fri - Sun and I went to Wellington for a night with work. The kids were still alive and the house was clean, and washing was done. Although I have to say not to my standard!
All of that was before Cooper though.

I still think he could do it. I have no problems leaving him at home. I have no problems going away for the day either.

He can be kind of neat

I know! God he drives me nuts sometimes, but damn for some reason I still love him!

OMG Stacey, did you read my mind?

I think DH would cope for a day, but if he had to do it for a week he would see how hard/time consuming it is. We've just had a massive barny cos I apparently am so lazy and keep the house messy and have no time management skills.

My hubby does and has been for the last 6 months. He does a great job - while working from home too so I totally admire him. It took a little while to get in to the swing of things but thats the case for all of us I think.

Sure he could... hypothetically that is... I mean if I biffed the computers out the window, and he somehow got over it in time, and I left him a huge list outlining what he needs to do... and set an alarm to go off for every nappy change,]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:50:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=343964&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#343964 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : It drives me crazy but for a day...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=343961&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#343961 Author: my2angels

It drives me crazy but for a day or two my hubby actually does really well, better than me in fact but i think if he had to do it every single day then it would be a different story.]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:49:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=343961&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#343961 <![CDATA[Would your DP/DH cope? : Mine actually does a better job...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=343960&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#343960 Author: mummy_becks

Mine actually does a better job than me at keeping the place tidy. I try and keep it tidy but i'm a person who likes to do a big job not little ones all the time.

If they had to do a full day of everything that you do?

DH sometimes use to wonder why I couldn't keep the house fairly clean during the day until I went out for a whole day to a friends and he had to look after Daniel himself and said at the end of it that once Daniel is asleep he just couldn't be assed doing anything hehehe.. and he didn't even do the washing

Now one of my friends hubbys is starting to complain that she can't keep up with everything.

I think she should hand the reins over to him for the weekend and let him do everything she would usually do for an eye opening experience for him.

What do you think? ]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:46:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15980&PID=343954&title=would-your-dp-dh-cope#343954
