[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has traveled 19 of the last 90 days on and off for work. He goes to fun places, but in the evening he goes out, has nice dinners, socializes, etc. meanwhile I'm home with baby. Last weekend, I left on Saturday at noon and came back Sunday at 6:30 pm for a spa weekend with my friend while he watched the baby. When I came home he said, "maybe you can watch the baby while I go away for a weekend too". I replied that he goes away all the time, and he disagrees and says it is for work so it's not the same.  I think 19 days of free evenings, nice dinners out, no early morning baby wake ups, and socializing is equivalent to my 30 hours of absence over the course of a weekend. I'm not trying to say I never support him taking a guy's trip (there is no guys trip on the horizon) but now he wants to be absolved of his weekend dad duties because I got a weekend away this weekend. Can you please give me some perspective about this? I guess I feel like he never "makes up for" the extra childcare I duties I have when he is gone.  And I thought we were kind of balancing things out when I went away, but now he also wants a weekend off. [/quote]

You're right, but he's probably going to be a baby about it.[/quote]
