Your thoughts? I'm not a parent or expecting but I saw it on my fb and thought it spark a discussion

Question

Answer

My husband and I don't ask for permission from each other to do things but we also don't just tell. We are a partnership. We coordinate schedules and communicate our needs and wants.

Answer

I Already do that but I haven't always. My husband works all day so I do try to give him some time to relax but if I want to go to the store or take a shower or something I'm like "here watch the baby I need to ___" and it's no big deal. But he does work from morning to night as I said so he's always happy to have bonding time with her when he can

Answer

We always just tell each other what we're doing. And we ask each other if we want to do it together.

Answer

My husband and I spend 99% of our spare time together. We share a car and live 20 minutes away from our closest friends and he and I have a similar work schedule. I don't ask his permission if I can go hang out with a friend. I mention to him my plans just so 1) he doesn't wonder where I'm at. And 2) in case I forgot we had something else planned for that time.

Answer

Well... My house is not ran like that. If I want to do something like go grocery shopping without the kids I go first thing in the morning my oldest will watch the younger two. If let's say I wanted a girls night out. I would have dinner ready and keeping warm, the kids  have their homework and chores done. Then I would go out... My husband and I have a good system down and I personally don't like just leaving and not having my stuff done.

Answer

Lol I could tell her I had to attend my own funeral at 5 and she'd still contest it.

Answer

This is so right on. I feel like I am always asking permission to do things and then rush through them because I feel like I'm being a burden.
Nice to know I'm not alone in those feelings of guilt

Answer

I think it's a good mindset. You can be courteous without being a doormat. I tell my husband when I have plans, and occasionally if it came up last minute, I might invite him to join if possible so as not to be rude.
