[quote=Anonymous]OP, the thing is that your husband actually has a lot of free time. He has just already chosen what he occupies that time with. He has a sports hobby that he spends several hours on per week - that is free time that he is choosing to occupy with this sport. He does yard work - that is free time that he is occupying with something he could pay someone else to do if he chose to. He works out at the gym - that is free time that he is choosing to occupy with this activity.

Additionally, you say that he spends "2-3 hours per day with DC except when he's working." When is that, exactly? A 70-hour work week is potentially 7 10-hour days, 5.5 12-hour days, etc. It sounds to me like your husband is spending a couple hours with his son on Saturday and a couple hours on Sunday and complaining that he still doesn't have enough free time and that the child should go to bed earlier so that he can relax without responsibilities or interruptions in the evening.

I am not sure where he got this expectation, but it is completely out of alignment with what his life is like at this time. Did he want to have a child? Because it sounds like what he wants is a child he can see for a couple hours and who then disappears completely.[/quote]
