[quote=Anonymous]I knew there was a problem just from the title of your post.  I saw it and assumed when you referred to "child care" you meant that there was some problem with your day care center or nanny.  Referring to your regular family time as "child care" signals a big problem.

To be clear, I don't agree with the people who imply that as a parent you sacrifice all of your "me" time or that you are selfish if you don't want to spend 99% of your time with your child.  I am totally in favor of me time and couple time.  But your "norm" should be familiy time, and then the me time and couple time should fit around that.  In our house, usually 4 nights/week are spent as a family, 2 are me time for one parent, and 1 is couple night.  We switch off getting up early weekend mornings, and the days are usually spent together, unless one of us has other plans.

This works for us, I hope you can find something that works for you.  I applaud you for having your husband read these posts.  Even though some are overly harsh, I think there are enough that hould really help you come up with a better system.[/quote]
