[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  You haven't said that your husband has been complaining.  I'm assuming he isn't grumbling about this so your choice is to a)make him take dd in the car with him so dd gets to greet grandma and grandpa and buy 2.5 hours or whatever crazy amount of time on your own....schedule your doctor appt for then and turn lemons into lemonade or b) next time he says he doesn't have time to watch dd for an hour say well you will need to find and pay a babysitter because I need to make this appt or give me a time frame when you are available.

It wasn't clear to me if you are SAHM and that's why DH assumes you are 24-7 on child duty.  In the beginning, DH and had to work on division of child duties because it was assumed I would always take off for the sick child and DH always had meetings.  Once I threatened to quit my well paying job so I could be fully flexible and take off all sick days and not interfere with his meeting schedule and instead have a part-time job so I could afford a few mommy morning outs ...he changed his tune very quickly.    If you are SAHM, you may need to work a few hours a week just so DH is forced to have childcare responsibilities or basically lay it out as these are the issues, let's come up with a solution, or these are the choices  -either feeding dinner or bedtime routine.  Don't forget a lot of the husbands of our generation grew up with a dad that didn't change a diaper and that may not have done much with the kid until they were older and ready to join little league.  You may have to be more insistent.[/quote]
