[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you also need to pay attention to something else. I suspect your husband also wants attention, and sees this as a way to get his pre-baby relationship back. Now, is once a week too often? Probably. But pay attention to the relationship between the two of you and don’t let the baby become the only thing the two of you have together. [/quote]

Unfortunately, the baby is the only thing the two of us have together. Our relationship was awful before the baby came. After the baby my husband has been so happy/focused on the baby/loves being a dad/having a family that he is no longer the awful, controlling, borderline emotional abuser he was before. And we have been to counseling, as someone suggested. Not a lot of help. So the baby actually "saved" our relationship (knowing full well that a baby saving a relationship does not exist). But I digress. Now that it is the morning of the night he is taking him, I keep wondering more and more if this was all my husband's idea and his parents didn't ask for the baby overnight at all. Having the baby overnight is hard work! As he is still not 100% sleeping through the night. I keep wondering if he framed this as a favor to us to take the baby. And no, as someone suggested, my husband has no interest in our relationship so it was not "needing a night out" or whatever - he said he had errands he wanted to take care of. But it makes no sense that the baby would prevent him from doing errands because I am the one who takes care of him all day and all night.[/quote]

You know, giving us all of the back story in the beginning would have been useful.  Now I just feel sorry for your band aid baby. [/quote]
