[quote=Anonymous]OP, family time is incredibly important. It's basically everything in life. I also find it sad that you treat your child like a hot potato and want a babysitter for the weekends. I think you and your husband need to look at how little time you spend together one on one and as a family, instead of trying to find more alone time for each of you. It ssounds like your husband only spends a couple hours with your son a week, so I'm surprised he feels he needs more time away from him. You said DH leaves for work at 5:30 am, what time does DS get up?  One idea is for you to get up early too, with your DH, and get chores, etc done in the morning since you are too tired to do any of it at nap time. You could nap during DS's nap if you need to, and go to bed earlier with your DH.

The fact that you and DH have such different schedules and trade off time with your child on the weekends does seem odd to me too. I'm a SAHM of a 14 month old and I go out with girlfriends at night about twice a month. I also don't do work at nap time and have down time at night from 7:30-11 and that feels like enough "me time" for me. we spend basically the whole weekend together as a family, trading off nap, bedtime, bath, etc. duties on a day to day basis.
