I am SAHM and DH generally works long hours (for only marginal pay, BTW). He has planned three separate short trips with his friends this summer, goes to baseball games several Saturday afternoons, and will want Sats free in the fall to go to football games. He always asks me in advance if it is okay, but it is really starting to upset me. I hate to say no to him and rob him of a good time, or deal with the resentment if I do, but I am feeling neglected and fed up. We have 3yo and 6mo. WWYD?

[ Reply | Options ]ITA. I agree that he should have down time, but so should you. You should have free Sats to yourself. You are a better woman than I, because I do "let" dh take a couple of guy trips a year, but would never go for three a summer. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that just because you don't work outside of the home means that you don't need the breaks as much as your DH. Staying home with kids can be hard and you'll be a better mother if you get some time away from them. (Can you not tell I'm a SAHM?)
