[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soon to be dad here. I plan on stopping by during lunch breaks to see the wife and soon to be kiddo. I would assume the wife would love to see me at home helping change a diaper, feed, or play with the little one, but this post has got me thinking! Maybe moms that have given birth recently, don't want too much contact with their hubs? [/quote]

When the child is a baby, I think it's a fine idea if you can swing it.   I'd say it's harder when the child is older, like op's child's age, because transitions get more difficult, and stopping by for 15 minutes can be incredibly disruptive.  I've done the WAH thing, and I can see why op is having a hard time with it.  I had sitters to look after my kids while I worked, and I know popping in for 15 minutes would have been far more trouble than it was worth at that age. [/quote]

This is so stupid. The kid will survive even if daddy comes home 4x a week for lunch break. Psycho DCUMers![/quote]

I think OP has a good point. I don't think it's healthy to see your spouse everyday for lunch. You need time away from each other. It sounds like they spend too much time together. And also as a first time mom you need to have some independence. Help your wife feel like she can do it on her own. [/quote]

Noted. If this is true, than the OP and I are similar in that my wife and I are pretty close, and do spend a lot of time together. There are times when we do our thing with our friends, but with the recent pregnancy and our jobs, we tend to stay home and do things together.  Even going to the gym or grocery shopping is done on weekends on our time. I'll def try to give her space once the little one is around. [/quote]

OP here: I spend almost ALL of my time with my husband and son. I have a hard time leaving my son. I want to do a lot of things as a family on the weekend. My husband doesn't seem to mind being around me all the time. [b]He doesn't go to the gym or need alone time. [/b]He does really like spending time at home. I want to go to the gym in the evening but lately I feel so tired at night. I stay home most of the time. It was a lot easier when my son was a baby. I had a lot more energy to go out.

Because he's not taking care of a whiny 3 year old full time. Force yourself to take a break from your family OP. [/quote]
