re: How much help from SO?

We work opposite shifts with different days off.

When he's home, he helps as much as possible. It gives me a break and I can get other things done and they have man time.

We really aim for 50%. But it's more like 60/40, the majority contributed by him. He has to deal with the house and kids during the day on the weekends, because I usually work them.

5% for about an hour before he works and for maybe 30-40min a night.

Quoting TheDude:" Just curious how much everyone's SO pitches in when it comes to child-care. Mine helps maybe 30% of the time I would say..."

DH is a great dad. he is always playing around with DD and she is very very attached to him. complete daddys girl. when he is home id say she is with him about 80% of the time because she forgets about me the second he walks in the door    

My husbands helps 90-95% of the time. He is always helping!!!

Quoting lovinthem04:" When he isn't deployed...I would say 90%..the 10% he doesn't is when he is at work lol"

  

Definitely safe to say every family is different! DH works out of town but I think he does what he can when he's home on weekends. I have to admit it is sometimes difficult for me to not be resentful. Before I was a SAHM I thought it must be a piece of cake. Um...WRONG ASSUMPTION! Haha!
