[quote=Anonymous]I think it's normal when kids are young (say, both under 5-6) to hate being the solo parent on duty. Every parent I know, including people who are really really into their kids, feels that way. I only have one but it's definitely a chore to be the parent on duty alone, although we try to make it fun (go to the playground, etc.). OP I would just tell him you're doing an errand without asking if it's ok. "I'm going to the store, need anything?" Take charge. And this is a sign that neither of you is getting real breaks. Talk to your pediatrician about how "high risk" your older kid actually is and what that means -- i.e. would it be reasonable to get outside help once a week from someone vaccinated. If you have family in the area, or even out of state who'd be willing to visit and babysit, now's the time to call. [/quote]
