[quote=Anonymous][quote]OMG, you both see your child as a "chore". HOLY CRAP, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? Guess what? You're parents now. Its not just a 'job' it is now your life. This is your life. Tme for yourself is history. Get used to it and make your child your priority. How's this: Each of you gets a 2-3 hours every other weekend. That's it. Everything else is family time. Man, why don't you just give up your child for adoption and let someone raise your child who wants to be with them? [/quote]

I'm a PP - this post is ridiculous and hysterical (not in a funny way, but in a Chicken Little "the sky is falling!" way).  Caring for an infant IS a chore lots of the time.  If you're claiming it's all sunshine and roses, you're either just lying, or looking at the past through rose-colored glasses.  And "Time for yourself is history" - that's healthy.  People are happiest when they're content with themselves, their partners and their families.  That means some alone time, some time with your spouse without kids, and family time.  If you're content spendign ALL your non-workign time ONLY with your family, bully for you.  But OP and her husband obviously wouldn't be, and a little balance is a good thing.

OP, I think your husband needs a wake-up call as far as his responsibilities as a husband father, and the two of you may need to adjust you expectations regardign how much free time you have, and how it is scheduled.  But don't try to go to the opposite extreme and tether your self and your husband to your baby from 6:00 pm Friday to 7:00 am Monday.  That's a recipe for disaster.  [/quote]
