[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t about OP’s DH not doing his fair share of chores around the house. It’s about OP actively not wanting to be with her child for a rigidly prescribed period of time. Why is giving your child lunch and putting her down for a nap such a burden? Especially after you’ve literally had hours of alone time. OP you are high maintenance and need to suck it up a little. Your husband does too if he’s so exhausted after being with a three year old for a few hours. Truly sad that you both dislike being parents so much you are fighting over a tiny scrap of “alone” time.[/quote]

This post is internally inconsistent. They don’t both need to “suck it up” if one of them is doing what they agreed to and the other isn’t. [/quote]

It is not. OP can suck it up and help her child while her hair is wet from the shower (not a big deal). DH can suck it up and help his child even though he’s tired. They are both whiny and selfish. Can you imagine being so upset about spending a bit of extra time with your child that you came on here to post about it. [/quote]

+1 a large swath of dcumers dislike children, even their own children. I truly feel sorry for op’s child. Two selfish parents treating their own child like a dreaded chore, each eager to dump their own child off on one another and becoming angry and upset when they cannot.

It’s pretty obvious this isn’t about time with the daughter. It’s about all the things the husband isn’t doing—and trying to weasel out of this last one small tiny thing he’s agreed to do as a step toward a more fair division of labor. He’s doing almost nothing toward the family’s upkeep by OP’s telling, but can’t even handle a half day of childcare on the weekend.

So no, it’s not a reflection of OP’s love for her child. It’s just another example of how little he’s stepped up. [/quote]
