Y’all 😂 I cannot. RANT AHEAD

I’m going out of town tomorrow (Friday) until Sunday night. I have an obstacle 5k on Saturday and some much needed hiking with girl friends to do. My grandmother (and multiple other nosey ass women) have asked if he’s coming with me or if my in-laws are watching him.....

Uh, no. His FATHER is, and guess what! He’s so excited about it! 😱😱😱 He’s talked about “the boys weekend” for literally almost a month, it’s honestly adorable. But my grandma said “it’s great that he can do that” and I was like, “why shouldn’t he be able to? He’s not surviving on breast milk along anymore, he’s almost 2.. there’s no reason his dad can’t do what I do” and my grandmother said, “well ok, it’s great that he will though”

Like no it’s not great (hear me out) it is EXPECTED. WE are BOTH his parents and my heart aches for moms who’s SO never gives them a break or spends 1:1 time with THEIR children too. I mean, it doesn’t matter whether you’re working or staying home, there’s absolutely NO reason a good father shouldn’t want to or can’t watch their own baby (barring ebf babies who refuse a bottle, maybe).

Maybe some aren’t comfortable with an entire weekend, like my husband, but damn man why tf shouldn’t you be able to go out 2-4 hrs while your child stays home with their dad? There’s no reason that EVERY break you do get is dates with your SO.

**Imma go ahead and add that I ALWAYS let my husband go fishing/hunting or whatever he wants on his days off, unless we have plans or someone is seriously sick and I absolutely NEED the extra help. I love letting him have time to feel like HIMSELF as a person, not just a dad/husband/employee, and he does the same for me**
