[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Honestly, upon hearing this my first reaction is umm are you crazy, I would LOVE that. Would love for the kids to get to see him midday and/or (even moreso), if it was naptime, for us to have a little alone time during the day to have lunch together. But then I read he's only staying for 15 minutes? That seems a little odd - I mean, if your issue is that he's disrupting your alone time (and I agree that naptime may well be your only downtime) then I guess shorter is better no?

Is the concern that you feel like he's checking up on your or something? Does he expect you to have lunch prepared for him? What is his demeanor when he walks in the door - is he making criticizing comments about the state of the house or "what you've been up to"? Honestly our house tends to become kind of a disaster area when we're home during the day, then I straighten up in the late afternoon - so if my husband came in at lunchtime things would not be orderly. He, however, wouldn't care and I maintain that as long as he was (generally) coming in in a good mood, pleasant and willing to engage with the kids etc, this would feel like such a treat. FTR I do agree that him coming in and waking the baby up is an issue; if he wasn't willing to take steps to work on avoiding that I would definitely feel resentful.[/quote]
