[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't you tell your spouse? Do you have a desire to feel like you're a teenager and sneaking behind your parents' back? [/quote] Most married women that I know have to ask for and then justify any time they take for themselves. Even a couple hours for a movie. I applaud OP for not falling into that trap.[/quote] Huh? Where are these women? Do they actually ask for permission, as in "May I go to the movies?" Or is it "Hey honey, so I was able to get out of work early and decided to go see Jaws 7 this afternoon. It was great. How was your day?" I'm married and have done that. [/quote] More like, "Is there anyway possible that I can get a couple hours to myself this week? I want to _____."[/quote] It's because the mom is often the default parent--I can't rely on DH to get home at a certain time to stay with the kids and don't feel like paying a sitter just to go watch a movie. [/quote] It should be important to both you and he that you get some time to yourself. Women will always be the default parent if we accept that role. [/quote]
