[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DS wakes me up around 7am, and I am dying at home playing/stuck with him till lunch hour if we do DH's preferred activities. DS is high energy, and it is a lot easier if we both get out of house to breath & do something. DS is attached to me, and it is always I play with him or he play around me, and both of us goes from one activities to next activities (each lasts 5-30 min) at the house. DH does free-style parenting at home which he rarely plays with DS. That is how DH was raised growing up. It is always me taking care of DS at home, and DH does not want to help at all. He says that DS can play by himself for hours, but the problem is I am the one ends up playing with him for hours.

Of course we can alternative activities, and we did it sometimes. But on the day of his preferred activities, it always end up to the point that I am too exhausting to entertain or both of us gets bored at home. DS goes to full time daycare 5 days a week, and he is always looking forward to start his day & having fun early on weekend.

Yeah, I agree that we need to work on compromising. And, I need to work on my temper as well because I admit that I nag too much. That is why I say that it is a vent post.[/quote]

You leave the house in the am for something. Yoga class,
Grocery shopping, your own trip and let DH parent how he wants. Make it regular. Dh can take da to the playground and brunch by himself too. Dh is practicing his free range parenting (which works but it for 3 year olds) because you're there playing with ds and he doesn't have to actually parent. [/quote]
