Am I being too crazy and demanding?

Question

Ok so let me start out by saying my husband is amazing in many ways. Caring, works his butt off, great dad, does a lot of house chores, etc.
However he looooooves golf. I’m less than 5 weeks from my set c-section date, measuring larger than normal, and have a crazy 21 month old I chase around all day everyday since I’m a SAHM. 
When he’s home on weekends he wants to golf every Sunday. For those of you that don’t know golf- it’s roughly 5 hours of him being gone. 
I’ve been expressing how I don’t understand why he can’t just stop golfing now since I’m super pregnant and it’s harder.
His argument is he only gets to do this a few months out of the year, and if I need extra help why not have him be babysat while he golfs....
Well- am I being crazy and demanding orrrrr what?

Answer

What about every other Sunday? It’s all about compromise.

Answer

I mean he is offering up a solution and saying get him a babysitter.. perhaps take that time to do something for yourself as well?
Win/win

Answer

He deserves to relax and have time for himself - as well as you too.

Answer

Take 5 hours off each weekend yourself then.  My sister and her husband each have one night each week “off” where he plays poker and she meets up with some girlfriends.

Answer

I’d be pissed. I’m sure there’s so much more to this than having a toddler too. You both need to be finishing prepping and cleaning for baby too and he’s gone for 5 hours every weekend when he should be home doing his fair share.

Answer

If he only gets to do it during certain times in the year, I'd say you're demanding. Both of you need your alone time. Your you time. Make Saturdays about your time. He gets to watch the toddler whine you go and get your nails done or do something thats solo that YOU want to do.

Answer

If he is spending all the rest of his time working and with you I dont think it's fair to ask him to not golf.

Answer

I’d say let him golf and take him up on his solution. That’ll give you some time to yourself as well. He deserves that time and so do you. As someone who lives somewhere that only stays warm for three months of the year, I am 100% on board with your husband here; it sounds like that’s the one thing he looks forward to for “me time” every week and we all definitely need that. You too, mama. I think a sitter is a great idea. :)
