[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-it's 1-2x per week and about half the time he "asks" and the other half he will just tell me ahead of time. To the PP who suggested having him get up early with the baby on those days, I could try that--but I feel bad making him do that when he has to go to work that day. Should I not (feel bad)? [/quote]

No you shouldn't feel bad. You're working all day too (arguably at a harder job.)

Also, "help you" with the baby? It's his kid too.

It only seems justifiable to me to take that much time alone if it's part of an agreement where you get a roughly equal amount of down-time where he watches the baby and you go do whatever you want. How often does he do that? (Also, totally unacceptable for him to just tell you rather than ask.)

You deserve a partner who's a true co-parent, and it's your right to stand up for that.  Don't let either him or yourself believe that because he's a guy (or because he's working outside the home) he should do less. ;
