[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sweet lord don’t have any more kids. We have 3 kids and both of us were up at 6:45 this morning so we could get to an 8am game for our middle child. One of us got up to get her there and the other one got up to get the other 2 kids ready and meet them at the game.

I can’t imagine tit for tat every weekend. [/quote]
You can’t imagine parents agreeing to have a couple of hours to themselves each week (obviously not at the same time as a game) and one parent insisting that the other stick to the arrangement they made? Really? [/quote]

DP, no I cannot imagine being that rigid for the gym and a shower just because it was "MY 4 HOURS!".  If my agreed to personal time was being disrespected on a regular basis, then we would have a discussion. I wouldn't be so rigid though, I'd give him the grace that I want in return. Life happens, especially as you have more kids and it becomes more complicated.[/quote]

Yes, life does “happen,” so when you choose to take her to your parents’ house in the morning and come home tired, you be a parent, suck it up and do what you agreed to do (lunch and nap). It’s OK that you’re tired while you do it. Welcome to parenthood.[/quote]

Op here. This. When he his tired he turns to ME to take things off his plate. When I’m tired I figure out how to better manage my plate. [/quote]

This is so sad. When I'm tired I ask my husband for help. The other day I had a terrible day at work and had a headache and just wanted to crawl into a hole. He had also worked all day, been up since the same time I had, and still offered to handle dinner and put the kids to sleep so I could just go to bed and do whatever I needed to do to feel better. I can't imagine being married to someone that I couldn't turn to when I was down. Isn't that kind of the point of being married? If you don't get that from your husband, why bother being married to them?[/quote]
