My husband is so inconsiderate

[Anonymous]

He makes his office hour at ridiculous times. This semester it's 5-7 pm Monday- Friday. This means I'm home all day with our difficult 16 month old. He can schedule his office hour whenever he wants. He's only teaching a few 1 hour classes this summer. He says students are more likely not to come at this time so he has time to work on other work. I try to take my son to the gym childcare but he cries the entire time. It's hard to relax when I know he's in there screaming. I asked him not to do office hour in the evenings last semester but he did it again for summer semester.

That's a super good attitude to have for someone in teaching.

So you are a SAHM that expects the person allowing you to SAH to rearrange his work schedule around your wants. So you can't relax if the baby is in the gym's daycare because he's screaming but you are all good with leaving him with your DH and having your DH deal with your difficult.

Here's a thought. Stop hanging on dcum, turn off the tv and spend time with your child correcting his behavioral issues and separation anxiety. A little effort now leads to a lot of happiness in the future.

Someone woke up on the bitchy side of the bed this morning!

Agree. Selfish and inconsiderate. Why does he have to offer office hours five days a week? He could consolidate them to accommodate your exercise needs, at least.

Maybe she's a teacher who has her summers off.
Jealous much? How did this turn into an attack on SAHMs? Good grief, lady!

5 to 7 is a tough time of day at that age. What's your DS's nap schedule look like? 5 - 7 awake = chillout, popsicle, cheerios video, low key stuff for everyone.

You have no idea how ridicuous you sound. Getting your gym time in is so out of the realm of real-world problems, it's not a problem. The priority should be your H's work which is enabling you to have a very cushy lifestyle.

I'm confused he's only teaching a few 1 hour classes so what is he doing the rest of the time?

If his mornings are free, leave the baby with him and go to the gym then.

I'm more dispappointed for his students who are paying money to take his class if he is a college professor. The fact that he purposely schedules his office hours at a time that is not convenient for his students says a lot about him.

+1 and work out earlier. Maybe instead of the gym pop him in the jogging stroller and go for a run or get a bike with a seat and go for a ride.

Your DH might not have as much flexibility in scheduling office hours as you think especially if he's required to do research/ bring in a certain amount of funding into the school to basically keep his job.

I have no idea. He goes to work all day on weekends too!

+1 A lot of posts titled this way are dramatic and selfish, but the title sounds accurate here. He's efficient at least. He's blowing off his family and his students under the guise of working, all in one stroke. You married an evil genius OP.

How can you correct a toddlers temperament? What a ridiculous thing to say. And we don't have a tv at home.
