[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had baby #2 and DH and I are at home on parental leave with a 3.5 year old and a 4-week old. A couple of DH’s friends are going to Vegas for a weekend in a month and he wants to join them. I said no and that it seems pretty selfish and now he is acting cold. Seriously, what gives? Should he be able to go to Vegas and stick me with a newborn who is nursing around the clock and a 3 year old? I don’t understand why he would even ask. I doubt he’d want me to go for a weekend with friends and leave him with a new baby and a preschooler… 
Has anyone else ran in to this? Am I the jerk for [b]not letting him [/b]go blow a bunch of $$ in Vegas with his buddies while we are on leave? [/quote]

He really doesn't need permission. He can do whatever he wants. It may not be convenient for you, and you don't have to like it, but that's life.
It's nice he gave you a heads up.[/quote]

Oh, okay. Then OP should give her DH a heads up that she's going to spend her maternity leave taking a few classes at the local community college. It's what she wants and that's life. Her DH will just need to arrange his life so that he can be with their two children during her classes because she can do whatever she wants. It's nice she gave him a heads up instead of just assuming he'd be home to provide 100% of the childcare during that time, actually.[/quote]

Why wouldn’t she take a class?

Both my BFF and I got our masters when are kids were young since we were home anyway. You can read while the baby is nursing and the kids are napping. You are kind of stuck in the house for hours.

My class was 2 nights a week and hers was Saturday morning for 4 hours.[/quote]

Whoosh![/quote]
