[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read these posts and am dumbstruck that this is clearly not a joint decision. Even some PPs have suggested that you just say "no", as if you're your wife's parent. If you've never stayed home all day with a toddler you're not in a position to decide how difficult it is or isn't. And before anyone chimes in with the "but he earns the money!", she's clearly raising the kid, as OP defines parenting as "offering her a break".

I don't mean to insult you but man the F up and be a parent. That'll solve your wife's problem, but it's also what you signed up for when you had a kid.[/quote]
The 'offering her a break' was time alone, where she has nothing else she has to do, no obligations at all. That is by any definition a break. It is not joint parenting. Joint parenting time is when they are both home and both participating in household / parenting tasks. Do you think working is his 'me time'? Let me assure you that it isn't. Division of labor is a thing.[/quote]
