re: What does your DH/SO do..

My SO is a PE teacher and football/basketball/track coach. He works 9-11 hour days depending on the season and if there is a game. He has summers and school holidays off. When he comes home at night he does the dishes. On the weekends he sweeps. Sometimes he will help pick up clutter. In the summer time he does a lot of yard work.

DH works from about 6am until usually 7pm, sometimes 8 Monday-Saturday. He doesn't really have a job title, sometimes he does maintenace on apartments, and sometimes he works on his bosses land. He comes home, eats, then helps me get DS taken care of so I can study. I don't expect a lot from him, but he wants me to finish nursing school, which requires me to have at least 1-2 hrs of study without a 10 month old screaming at me. Before I went back to school, he would come home, eat, bathe, them spend time with us before going to bed. I was the one to put DS to sleep, and wake up with him. Now, its 50/50.

Nice to see a thread like this for a change, full of good men and women  

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" you dont know me. thats quite the assumption to make "

Well I think in general when you capitalize the fact it can be taken you don't seem happy about it. You can also take the smurfing stick out your ass as well, as I was only making an observation  .

Quoting Conservative MAMA:" when he gets home from work? What does he do for work? How many hours does he work? Do you expect for him to do anything or for him to help you out after a long day at work? Explain!"

My husband is in the military. He works usually from 6 to 3 now but sometimes gets home later.
When he gets home he changes and usually hangs out with my son and I.
I don't expect him to clean or help with housework or anything like that. I do expect him to spend family time with us though.

Mine is still job searching since he recently graduated from college with a chemical engineering degree. We don't live together yet but we will move in together soon.

We're getting married in 6 months so I would be pissed as smurf if he came home and didn't help me out. I expect for housework and cooking to be split 50/50. I will NEVER play the role of the housewife who takes care of her husband's every need. He's a big boy, he can take care of himself.

My fiance works shifts in the kitchen at a restaurant, and has anywhere up to 30 hours a week.
At home he takes out the trash, but other than that he doesn't do much unless I ask for help.
When he gets home he unpacks his work bag and then usually goes straight to computer games.

He's a steam fitter and works 40-70 hours a week. When he's working 40 hours a week he comes home and eats then we go work out at the gym and then he cleans up the dishes. When he works 70 hour weeks I don't expect him to do smurf.

He's a merchandiser for Home Depot, so he does everything from setting displays to changing lights to loading trucks. 8 hours a day. Gets up at 5, gets home around 4.

He doesn't help. He gets home, watches TV, plays on the computer and plays with his lego. He looves lego.

I don't work right now so it's alright. Sometimes I wish he could help a bit more- I'm sick as heck this week and still doing it all. I don't mind so much, but I don't really think a sick person should do dishes and cook, kwim? Way to spread the sickness...

He sells veterinary pharmaceuticals and vet. medical equipment.

He works a variable number of hours, just depending on the client demands. He comes home and goofs around, takes over for me with the kids. He tries to schedule his day so that he can be out of the house early (kids are easiest in the morning) and thus be done with his calls around 3-4PM, which is great because 4 is just about the time the kids get uncontrollable   Change of parent gets them in a better mood, and me too.

I manage our own business pretty much by myself from home, so while I'm not outside the home, I'm definitely not doing nothing all day. There is no room for him not to pull his weight around here with the kids and housework and maintenance.

We share pretty equally in the housework and kids. I do most of the outdoor work though, he does a lot of the indoor since at least half the year, he leaves in the dark and comes home in the dark, and it just makes sense that the kids and I do the outdoor stuff while it's light.

He's the same as me, a tech support representative, we work for the same company but overlapping shifts. He works 6am til 2:30pm and I work 12:30pm til 9pm ... so when the gets home he picks DS up from daycare, gets dinner ready, tidies up, bathes DS, and puts him to bed.

Mines a cadet instructor only two days a week tuesday and thursday from 2pm-8pm and also stays home five days a week watching our two daughters while im in school 9am-3pm. So tuesdays and thursdays I just go to school and come home a little early then he leaves. I dont expect him to do anything but he still helps anyways  

DH is a waiter, he works 45-50 hours a week. when he gets home he usually takes the girls to the park to play for about an hour.
