He has a half hour commute each way, and works 10 hours a day. So he can get home anytime from 6pm to as late as 9pm. If he doesn't get his 50 hours he has to make it up on Saturdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779578 Mon, 13 May 2013 23:57:05 +0000 ChitownRo 779578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting to see everyone's work/life balances. I'm jealous! </p> <p>I'm not a SAHM, only 14 weeks along. But, my DH works lots. Lots. 7am - 8 or 9 pm Mon-Fri and a few hours on the weekends. The other young dads in the office seem to leave around 6:30, see their LOs for an hour or two before bedtime and then work again from home for a few hours. I expect this is how it will go for us too. </p> <p>I'm just happy that he doesn't travel a ton for work. We have some friends in consulting - that blows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779558 Mon, 13 May 2013 23:14:10 +0000 Running Elley 779558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently my husband got promoted today and his hours are changing so my answer is too lol. He'll now be getting home between 5:30 and 8. But he won't be starting until 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779225 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:16:24 +0000 aprk 779225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He travels for work so depending on his customer location, anywhere from 5:15 to 9 pm. But some days he works from home like today and never leaves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779218 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:13:24 +0000 Weagle 779218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's usually home by 5:30-6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779041 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:53:24 +0000 littlecasita1122 779041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's home by 2:30pm (works a 5am-2pm shift). Works out really well so he gets lots of afternoon time with LO but it was a huge adjustment for us having little alone time at night as he goes to bed early and I'm a night owl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779040 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:52:32 +0000 Bao 779040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He gets home around 5:15 unless he's doing other projects that day then it's 5:45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-779020 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:45:35 +0000 Andrea 779020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am jealous, too. He is home a little bit after 7 pm on average so I put the 2 kids to bed by myself most nights. Bedtime tonight was really rough. I kept looking out the window for his car (no luck)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778957 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:18:33 +0000 MamaBehr 778957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He gets home around 4:30 or 4:45 pm but he leaves at 5:45am. I think he is going to move within the company soon and that means he will have to work later :( That will be a sad sad day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778800 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:42:05 +0000 luckypenny 778800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super jealous of a lot of you! DH is home at 6:15-6:30 most nights and I thought that was early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778797 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:41:05 +0000 twoofeverything 778797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH leaves around 6:45am and gets home at 6pm. And I totally agree with everyone...that 4-6pm stretch is brutal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778736 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:13:48 +0000 SAHM0811 778736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jealous of most of these answers! DH typically comes home 8:30 - 9p, so after the kids' bedtime, or right before it. He tries to meet us for dinner on Fridays, like around 6:30 or 7, if he can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778729 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:10:33 +0000 chopsuey 778729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DH travels, he's gone for 2ish days, but he's home all day the rest of the time.<br /> When he works locally he's home by 4.<br /> He's been home for the last week and a half and it's been great! :) He's home the rest of this week too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778686 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:50:15 +0000 Jenn23 778686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband doesn't generally get home until 6:30-7pm (doesn't go in to work until 9am, though) so it stinks waiting so long. He does the bedtime routine with Jay once he gets home while I make dinner, then we eat a late dinner after Jay is asleep before 8pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778633 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:28:04 +0000 travelgirl1 778633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 4 and 6pm usually but sometimes he has to call England for an hour as soon as he gets home so it can be a while until we see him and I can crack on with jobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778630 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:26:08 +0000 mole 778630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually around 8pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778628 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:25:15 +0000 Beebug 778628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4pm, if he's coaching 5-6pm depending on how awful traffic is because it's harder to get out of city later on (1 hour commute). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778627 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:25:06 +0000 yin 778627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually comes home around 6, and it's difficult to get dinner on the table while taking care of a toddler by myself. I wish he could come home even half an hour sooner. It would help me so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778623 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:23:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 778623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We drop DH off at 8/8:15 and pick him up at 7. I'm not the biggest fan of his hours BUT it means that he has 3 days off a week (usually split up) OR he can easily pick up a day of overtime without getting burnt out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778619 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:22:55 +0000 HLK208 778619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8pm! It's torture waiting for him to come home (not really, we just miss him). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778615 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:21:38 +0000 rattles 778615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a typical day, around 6:30-7pm. On a bad day, I'm putting LO to bed and eating dinner alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778568 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:07:03 +0000 GrapeCrush 778568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a SAHM(yet), but I work from home and DH doesn't get home until 7:30pm. I hate it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778533 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:55:27 +0000 SugarplumsMom 778533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH would always get home by 5:00, but now with his new job, it's sometimes 6:00. It's just an hour but it sucks tremendously! When he gets home that late, it basically means I'm juggling LO while cooking, then I'd have to feed her, bathe her, change her and pretty much get ready to tuck her in while he's in the bathroom after coming home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778508 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:50:19 +0000 shopaholic 778508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 9- 9:30 pm most nights, though he's been trying to come home earlier since LO arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778477 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:42:14 +0000 photojane 778477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dan's hours are great for us! He gets off 1:30p (goes in at 4:30a while S is asleep), so we get the whole afternoon &amp; night with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778461 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:39:49 +0000 sera_87 778461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get home at 4:30. I leave to pick him up around 2:45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778451 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:38:06 +0000 JerricaBenton 778451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a pretty lucky lady - we own a business with strange hours so he is home most of the afternoon and then between 6:30-7:30 for the night. It's awesome to be able to leave LO with him to run quick errands in the daytime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778447 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:36:51 +0000 stargal 778447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His schedule varies but on weekends he is usually working a 12-16 hour day and then doesn't get home til around ten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778439 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:33:46 +0000 looch 778439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was at home, my husband came home around 6. The commuting time was anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-time-does-dh-get-home#post-778436 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:31:53 +0000 fancyfunction 778436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the day. Sometimes 4:30 and sometimes like tonight - 9! He's a teacher but does A LOT of different after-school programs. Whoever says teachers coast along obviously don't know my husband. ;) </p>
