[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- enough with the "WTF"s!  Jesus, people, I'm asking an honest question.  Lots of my friends with kids have schedules similar to mine - I honestly thought it was the norm.  [/quote]

Op, I agree. People are being harsh and a little wacky. It's not unusual to schedule "me" time and to have that issue be a point of contentilon. However, it does seem like your husband really needs to step it up. My DH and I bicker anout who is doing more but it's never more than bickering and he does an amazing amount with our 10mth old baby. I have no room to complain but still, I sometimes long for alone time. So I understand that need.  What works for us is allowing each other to do what the other values the most. I enjoy going out to dinners, seeing friends, maybe grabbing a late drink--so I do that. In return, I let my DH go on his bike rides, play his sports on the mall etc. He wakes up early naturally so he does the early duty. I stay up late so I do things like laundry, pack lunches, make food, run to the grocery etc etc. It's taken us 10mths to get here so dont let these people make you feel bad. However, i do have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with both my DH and my DD so we also do tons of that but we still make sure to allow each other alone time. I dont think it's that weird.  Good luck.
