Accip74 7,112 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 The trick is to get out every day no matter what.......we are normally out about twice a day doing something, the day go's a hell of a lot quicker than when I was working...... It made no financial sense for us to use child care..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get the family allowance paid into your name, that way you do not have to pay NI contributions as hers will cover you. the same as she was covered when you were working.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Get the kids to school do a few dishes.put your feet up for loose women.ah the good life Been a house husband for a quite a few years, me thinks your in for a rude awakening, especially as you have young ones. The washing alone will tire you out not forgetting the shopping and then just when your in the middle of the hovering the baby needs changing, then the school phones and you have to go down there. One thing I will promise you, you will be glad to see bed time for them and you. Good luck. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,646 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd sooner be back in dorset welding for 50 odd hours a week.,earning decent coin,than being house husband,it was easier Aswell. Soon as I've cleaned one place they trashed another,fight bitch and moan. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soon as I've cleaned one place they trashed another,fight bitch and moan. when ive had them all day i come to the conclusion its better to just not tidy up all day,then clean up when they're in bed. at the end of the day it looks like theres been a big house party that got out of control,2 hours later its clean and tidy,12 hours after that its trashed again. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
