Wife says she's not a fan of being out in the sun because her skin burns easily.

I'm betting the indoor gym has a daycare and she doesn't have to watch him. If it was outside, guess who'd have to work.

Op here: There's definitely not childcare available. We go on the weekends so I know. We pay $130 for the monthly unlimited membership. My son has separation anxiety really bad. I don't think he's with a babysitter during the day.

The hell? You take the child to the same indoor gym on the weekends instead of outside, what are you complaining about?

I guess OP has never tried to put sunscreen on a 2yo. LOL.

I have only been a few times. I commented because I know they don't have childcare.

I work most weekends and Sundays are really busy. They go to church in the morning and he has a 3 hour nap afterwards. She also visits her grandparents every Sunday evening with our son. It's dark by the time I get home right now.

So you literally work all the daylight hours every day of the week? Is that what you’re saying?

Yes the sun sets at 6:00 pm where we live. I work Monday- Saturdays. Sundays are busy with church, nap and visiting my wife's grandmother. My wife is really strict about the Sunday schedule. Church and visiting her grandparents is very important and she insists on taking our son on these outings.

Sounds like my DH. He would take the kid to Target, indoor play areas, malls and museums, maybe sometime the Zoo. I take DC to local parks. DH doesn't like people coming up to him to talk. Doesn't happen too often in places he goes.

+1 The bias is unreal. You bitter ladies know you'd damn well lose your minds if your nannies or DH's never took your kids outside, but a husband complains about it and somehow it's his fault? Woooow.

Um no. I spend time with my child and I work. It's dark by the time I get home. You can't be this stupid. Right now weekends are the only time I can take my child outdoors.

His wife isn't a nanny. It's not the same thing.
