[quote=Anonymous]Going into this thread I was going to say that yes, absolutely errands are a break from kid duty. Men like to talk about how much work they do in the yard, but it is solo work, where they can listen to music and do everything at their own pace.
When my kids were toddlers, I really enjoyed going grocery shopping without them.
That said, your husband is a jerk. You really need to start setting boundaries. Don’t let him walk all over you. When he get to that you need to get home, calmly text back that he can expect you home at x time. Unless there is a medical emergency, there is no need to rush home.
When he makes comments like “aww, mommy left baby in wet diaper” calmly tell him that it is disrespectful to nit pick every action you do. And don’t get into a bickering fight. Say that, ignore what he says in return. Repeat that for every undercut and insult. But don’t get into an insult war with him, or make excuses back and forth. Take the high road. 
I will say, you need to have a better sleep routine.[/quote]
