[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I didn't read all eight pages, but sometimes you need to push back, or you are a pushover. Your DH will respect you more for it. Let him figure out how to resolve the issue while still keeping his promise to you. If you are worried pushing back will lead to a breakup, then you have bigger issues and should just face the music.

Just do your thing and make him work around it.

Mom who was default parent by far from birth to about 10, despite earning more and having a harder job.   I just made it work (and grew resentful) while he just assumed I had it handled (and thought he was doing his part because it was more than his dad did with a SAHM mom).

He was pretty much DOGEd and took early retirement and I started acting like a "dad" and planning things for me, expecting that the rest of the family would figure it out.  Granted I do still confirm that dinner and activities will be handled,  our child is old enough to be left alone for a few hours, and if my H has planned something, I work around it - but I don't jump thru hoops just to plan to go to a work happy hour or book club like I used to.
