Yes, get over it.  You are creating one more problem for yourself.  Be grateful that you have that flexibility.  (Or outsource a babysitter or family member to take your kid to the doctor's appointments.)  [/quote]

Agree.  It is always going to be easier for one parent to do this stuff.  I know I do the majority, that's just the way it is.[/quote]

I'm with OP, I don't think it's fair.  I'm all for fairness in a marriage, otherwise resentments undermine the relationship.  Of course my husband and I each make 50% of the household income. If I had a play job, I'd have to suck it up and agree that unfairness was "just the way it is."[/quote]

I'm the person you quoted on the "just the way it is."  I am a little insulted that you took my quote to mean I'm making chump change.  I am not.  I make a very good salary, but my work schedule is much more flexible.  I hate to tell all of you this, but it is not about the marriage, it is about the child.  The child's needs to come first.  If the child needs to go to the specialist, than one of the parents need to make it a priority.  Seriously?  All of you tit for tat people need to grow up -- talk about immature.[/quote]
