Don't see it as a tension, see it as bliss. Because when your husband is not home, don't you and your kid miss him? Am a husband here. When I'm at home, when I am not busy, I help out with little things like throw rubbish, wash milk bottles, hang clothes, help out ad hoc tasks which my Wife ask me to help, Etc... Yes guys tend to be lazy and more untidy - but if you talk nicely, we can get things done swiftly. Remember, give Hubby the space, the privacy himself and time to focus on his stressful work which needs to be done, except this is now done at home. Lastly, when hubby don't tell you about his work stress, it doesn't mean there is no pressure or stress at work. It just means we feel no need to tell that to our wife and make our wife worry. Daddy is not without pressure, he is fighting very hard in his job amid this Covid-19 Virus & economic uncertainty where retrenchment and wage cut or wage freeze is not uncommon. It takes all parties to maintain the family's harmony together.
Attention. I’m blessed to have a hands on husband and father. For your case, though, I think he’s so not used to being at home on weekdays that all this is foreign to him. You guys will need to have good talks about how to work together (he should at least clean up after himself), and remember that he also plays a big part in raising your child(ren). Easier said than done sometimes 😣, but I hope things get better for you
More tension actually. Been nagging at him whole day. Good intention but make me do extra stuffs. Example, cook breakfast on bed for me which I like but all the used pan, plates, fork, bowls everything dump everywhere. Ended up I have to wash all of those zzzzzz I'd rather have a bread and jam if that's the case.
wished my husband at home haha. he worked as grabfood delivery rider and realised now more demand so he spent his time working sianz i alone with baby hhaha
well for me a bit of both. but i tell him off when he doesn't help me out with some of the house work, so still not that bad.
Both 😅 but try to work in harmony, more attention then tension I would say
More of attention because my son enjoys his presence too.
