[quote=Anonymous]Please help settle an argument. We have 2 under 5 (one born during the pandemic, pre vaccine) and the older is higher risk so we’ve been very cautious with a newborn and the older kid’s health. Husband always is the one doing the errands: gas, grocery store, car repairs, Lowe’s, Target, etc. I get irritated because I feel that him doing errands while I watch the kids is a break. Not like going to the gym or golfing, but a break in that you get to be alone, in a car, focusing on just yourself and the task at hand, and get to be away from the family and the kids. He adamantly disagrees. He also gets angry at me when I want a break when he returns from errands and I want a second off away from the kids. He also finds excuses for why he should be the one to do the errand - I’m too slow in the grocery store, I spend too much money, I’m nursing, etc. I feel this is BS and his way of maintaining his little carved out space for “him” time in a world where we have very little to none. What say you, DCUM?[/quote]
