Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

i know i'll get the 1950s housewife ridicule, but here's my question. dh takes a bus to a train to get to work. i started sahm'ing a couple of months ago and dh wants me drive him to the train every day. since i'm home anyway and not doing anything. i don't want to say no b/c he's right. i am home. i don't have anything pressing. if i can save him some time in the morning, why not do so? but in all honesty, i find it a huge pain in the neck. wwyd?

My sister started doing that after she became a SAHM. How old are your kids? It sucked for her when her DS was a newborn on an irregular schedule, but now he's 14-months and up at that time anyway so it's not really a big deal. And she doesn't just drive him to the bus, but all the way to his office (about 15 minutes each way, in good traffic).
[ Reply | More ]the reason why i hate doing it is b/c my mornings are so crazy. getting dcs dressed, ready for their respective buses, packing lunches, etc. this is pretty much right after i get older dc onto their buses and i'm ready to sit down, have a coffee, eat breakfast. but instead it's grab a jacket, get dd's jacket, and go out. in a way it's not a big deal at all.

I would do it if possible, OP. My dh drove me to and from the train station while I was commuting (it sucked) and that time saved was SO nice. I really appreciated his helping me out.
[ Reply | More ]As a DH who does the same as your husband, I think he needs to suck it up. It would be one thing if there were buses and lunches, etc., but it's not like you have nothing better to do.
[ Reply | More ]We live 10 minutes walk from the station and I very, very rarely ask DH to drop me off or pick me up. Probably less than once a month - only if it's very bad weather or I'm not feeling well or something. It's a PITA to put DC in the car for such a short trip (and probably take longer than it would if I just walked).
[ Reply | More ]I'd tell him to take the car and then ride my bike down and get the car if I needed it. I hate going out in the am if I don't have to.

Do it, but look at it as special time for you to spend with DH and youngest DC, not a huge imposition. I think that will make it better.
