Who gets LO ready in the morning and who put LO to bed?
I do both most days of the week. Nor sure how DH gets off so lucky lol! He keeps himself busy with the rest of the household chores,though.
-
We have two kids, so both of us!
In the morning, I nurse the baby while DH gets our older one dressed and fed. At night, I handle the baby's bedtime while DH gives our toddler her bath and everything else that comes with getting her ready for bed.
When we had one, I did the majority of both morning and night. DH started taking over bedtimes when I got pregnant and let me rest.
-
DH gets DS ready and drops him off at daycare. He also gives him his bath every night after he picks him up from daycare. I do pjs, story & put him down for the night. It makes the most sense for us to do it this way because I'm away from home longer than DH is. (Me: 6:20-4:45 vs DH: 7:15-4)
-
DH does the morning routine, drops him off at daycare, and will occasionally give a bath in the evening. I pick LO up from daycare, make dinner, feed LO dinner, play with him in the evenings, pack lunches, do dishes, and give him a bath in the evenings. I am out of the house from 6 AM - 5:15 PM and DH is out of the house 7:30 AM - 6:30/7 PM.
-
Both is me since I solo parent Mon-Thurs. Fridays or weeks he is home, he gets up when she wakes up, changes diaper, gets her dressed. Then I do drop off. I do pick up, he does bath and I nurse and get her in bed.
-
I do a.m. and DH does p.m. He leaves for work before LO and I are up so I do mornings and daycare drop. I work later so he picks LO up from daycare and is solo until I am off. At least 2 nights a week I don't get home until after Little Girl is in bed.
-
Dh does morning routine with LO and I do nights.
-
My husband does mornings, I do nights.
-
DH does morning routine and daycare drop off; I do pick-up and prep dinner. We both help out with bath/PM routine
-
Hubs does mornings and I do nights. BUT I'm the one that changes Xander's diaper in the morning and nurses him, so Hubs really only just changes his outfit (MAYBE) and brings him to daycare. Then I pick him up from daycare, feed him, play with him, and do bedtime routine. Hubs usually does the bath though!
-
I do both, DH leaves early in the morning and gets home late.
-
we split 50/50 on who gets the baby to nurse in the am, i always put him back to his crib (he sleeps for another hour or so) after.
if im working from home i get with up the babe and do bfast, etc.
on wknds, we 75/25 with dh getting up with the babe and doing am routine.
at nighttime, we play/eat dinner all three of us, and bath time is split 75/25 with daddy doing bathtime mostly. and then i nurse him to bed.
-
It's all me all the time . . . DH gets her from the crib in the morning when she wakes (he brings her to me). Otherwise, unless I ask him to do something, it's all on me.
-
DH does AM, I do PMish. I leave before she gets up, so he does the morning routine and gets her to day care. She's so happy in the morning - kind of sucks to miss that. I pick her up, bring her home and play. We both do bath time and I nurse (and sometimes rock) to sleep.
-
Since DH is a WAHD, he feeds DS breakfast and gets him dressed. I get him out of bed and change his diaper.
DH also does the vacuuming, takes care of the pets, does the dishes.
I do the night routine with DS, dinner, bath, pjs, etc. -
We split it. At night, I nurse her, give her to DH for her bath, then take her back to nurse her again. During her bath I get the bottles put together for the next day. We both put her down. In the morning, DH feeds her while I pump, then I usually get all the bottles/bags ready for the day, and then go and change her + get her dressed.
-
It depends. I do mornings since DH leaves for work at 5:40. He gets off early and has baby duty until 530 or 630 and then while I do dinner. Then i usually take her after dinner and one of us gives her a bath, her nighttime bottle, and puts her to bed. If football is on, I'll do it....if I'm cleaning, he'll do it, etc.
It's really a "whoever is free" kind of thing in our house.
-
Lately DH gets LO out of her crib and makes breakfast for us while I nurse. I pack the daycare bag, pump bag, and my work bag. DH takes the bags to the car because it's a lot to carry downstairs with a LO. I drop LO off at daycare.
In the evening, I pick LO up. I usually give the bath and do the bedtime routine. Then I cook dinner and DH does the dishes including bottles and pump parts. He works long days M-Thurs and then he watches LO on Friday so he does a lot.
-
DH does most of morning routine and I typically do night time.
-
We tag team things both AM and PM.
AM - I get LO in the mornings when she wakes (I wake up earlier/first) and she nurses, I change her diaper, and get her dressed. Then she hangs out and plays while I finish getting ready and packing up. When DH wakes, he does his morning thing while he entertains her and I finish up anything I need to do without a little lady at my feet. He gets her in the carseat and carries her out to the car for me when I leave to do daycare dropoff.
PM - DH does daycare pickup and when they get home we all hang out and play until dinner time. I feed LO her dinner while DH gets her bath ready. While she is in the bath with him, I clean up dinner and get her nursery ready for bed (put out night time diaper, get pjs, turn on white noise, pick a book. Then I help get LO in her pj's (a feat of epic proportions) and we both sit with her to read her book. Then DH hands her to me to nurse and put in her crib. -
Both of us but it feels like it falls more on me, especially AM.
-
I get up and feed her and usually dress her in the am but then it's all hubs. He keeps her while I shower and get ready and then they are together while he gets ready and then he takes her to school. I usually handle the evenings but sometimes hubs will ask if he can do bath time either because he wants some time with M or because he's offering to give me a break.
-
We split it up. In the morning, if I am around, I tend to do it, but I usually go work out in the mornings so he will get LO ready, but I usually make/feed LO breakfast. DH does most drop-offs in the morning, although I do it once or twice a week. At night, we alternate nights so that LO won't refuse one parent putting him to bed if the other isn't around. I love my "off" nights when I can have a few minutes all alone while DH puts LO down. BUT we are pregnant with #2 so life is going to change soon and "off" nights will no longer exist
-
I do mornings. For awhile there, DH woke up and drove LO into daycare when he was small during the winter. When the weather got better, it became less of a need for him to keep up with us. So, I do mornings 7 days a week. At night, DH picks up LO while I get the solids ready to go. Since DH was out of town last week, I'm having him do more of the bedtime routine. During the reading part of the bedtime routine, I start to make dinner. I'm the dinner maker of our house because DH takes forever to cook.
-
Typically, I do daycare drop off and DH does pick up, but sometimes we switch.
DH is often gone when LO first wakes up, but he'll usually pack LO's lunch before he leaves. I handle the rest of the morning routine (getting dressed, eating breakfast, brushing teeth, a little play or book time, etc.) and take him to school.
Then DH picks him up, and hangs out with him till I get home. If I'm home in time for dinner (about half the time), usually DH will start making dinner before I get home and then when I get home I'll play with LO and set the table while DH finishes dinner, and then typically I'll do bedtime while DH cleans up from dinner.
So I guess for us it's usually that one person does morning + bedtime, and the other does afternoon-till-the-other-parent-gets-home.
-
I do the morning because he leaves first.
I do both drop off and pick up unless I have other plans.
We both do the evening. We do bath, pj's, books and songs together. -
We don't do daycare, but we both work- whoever isn't working that day gets morning routine and any middle of the night wake ups. Whoever worked gets bedtime routine for some extra quality time and to give the other parent a break since staying home with a busy kiddo is no joke. We split the weekends so we both get a chance to sleep in.
-
Neither of us do the morning routine - my mom comes to the house and is there when DS wakes up (we're both already at work by the time he gets up). We both put him to bed at night.
-
I do both but DH makes breakfast for us and washes dishes & pump parts at night so it's not like he's slacking.
-
I usually do both, but DH will help.
-
I do AM because DH leaves for work at 5:40. We trade off evenings, depending on what's going on. If he has class, I do evening. If he hasn't done it in a few days, he does it. Our routine is super loose, though. Dinner all together, bath at 7, bottle when she's done, bed by 730
-
Right now, Dh does bathtime and bedtime each night. BUT when our LO starts day care, he'll have to do am duty too if we choose the day care close to our house, because I leave for work before the day care is even open. So then maybe I will take over PM duties.
-
I typically do both. DH is on a shift schedule so he isn't always there for mornings or nights. DS is used to it and so am I.
