Here's the way I see your situation. It's his loss. He's the one not spending time with his own child, or his own wife. Too bad for him. Go do fun things! Make a happy life with your kid. he can stay home and count his money.[/quote]

OP here.  One of the issues is that I can see DC is becoming aware and resentful of the lack of time DH spends with him, even though he's only 4.  On the weekends DH loves to spend the day doing yardwork, or painting a room, etc. to escape and get some alone time in, but it's under the guise of doing helpful work around the house.  I'm the one spending the entire day/night with DC and not getting a break on the weekends.  Should we get a Saturday afternoon babysitter or something?

In the future I can see DC deciding not to be close with DH, not coming home during school breaks, moving far away, etc.  That's what happened with me and my father and I don't feel fondly towards him.[/quote]

PP you responded to. My father is the most introverted, asocial man alive and I love him very much indeed. He didn't actually talk to me on most days, let alone do many things with me. Yet I knew he loved and cared for me. Please be aware that your past experience may not be your son's, and DO NOT COLOR HIS OPINIONS FOR HIM. Stop trying to lean on your spouse for things he cannot give! If you can't stand to be alone with your child all the time, then by all means, get a sitter and go out with your friends instead.

You have to stop the whining, OP. The situation you describe is only sad if you make it sad. Do any of you have life-threatening illnesses, are you going bankrupt, is your spouse cheating on you or planning to leave you with no money? OK, so make it work. You only have one life.
