[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I had to make huge adjustments, but luckily for us, our hobbies were mostly going out and doing things together instead of alone.  So, we just fold DS (1.5) into our activities whether it be going out to eat and/or taking turns entertaining him when we go to bed.

Whatever the case, there's so much that a mom gives up to have a baby.  Starting from pregnancy, the mom's body is no longer hers and, as OP recognizes, even in the most "fair" household, mom still does more than Dad does.  I highly recommend urging DH to reconsider whether training is more important than family time.  For us, family time is critical and DS rarely sees one of us without the other.  We get our alone time on the week nights after DS goes to bed and/or every four weeks or so, we'll take an afternoon "off" on a Saturday to run our errands.  We also have grandparents come over so that we can spend time together.  Whatever the case though, I think DH isn't recognizing how much of a lifestyle change having a baby is.  There's just not a lot of time for personal interests and he needs to grow up and recognize it.  [/quote]
