My husband and I have a difference of opinion on weekends and time and how each of us spends it. We have 1 child a 9 month old. My husband works 60 hour weeks. We both agree I am a very good wife and mother. My husband does not lift a finger in our home his clothes are washed put away. He gets homemade meals every day I even bake cookies for him and his coworkers. I keep I tidy house. He doesn't vacume or do dishes. He does take care of the cat litter and takes the garbage to the curb. My husband will change maybe 1 diaper a evening but spends his time with him playing and bonding and that is quality time for him in both of our eyes.

This is where we disagree when it comes to the weekend. He thinks it's his time to go socialize with friends and tinker with projects and get sleep. I am feeling taken advantage of. It has been maybe 4-5 months since I haven't had to get up with baby at night and or sleep in or even a nap. I will ask him to clean baby up after dinner and he will get sidetracked and after he sweeps the floor where the baby makes a mess I am doing everything else. In my mind it should be 50/50 on weekends. His mind it should be his time and he has things he would like to do. I am getting burned out. Things came to a head about midnight when he got home from hockey and was awake and I had to wake up to give the baby tylenol and a bottle when he was awake. Last weekend he was gone all Saturday for a guys day/night and was in bed all Sunday.

I have told him I want to leave for a weekend and get a fancy hotel room alone and watch tv get room service and sleep in a cozy bed. I don't think he realizes how much I am not kidding. How do other stay at home mom's and working dad's do weekends? I should emphasize I love being a stay at home mom I am grateful I just wish weekends were equal when it comes to the baby.
