And honestly, babies are boring. 2 hours plus time on the weekend is fine. It will be harder once they are 3 years and up and have more activities and opinions. Plus, they are more fun then. So, I think you may have to revisit this in a few years.

For now, I’m not sure why you don’t just believe your husband when he says he is fine. That said, I would figure out what else I could outsource, sooner rather than later.  You are at an income level where you should be able to do this so weekends can be having fun with kid and husband. And figure out your husband’s love language and focus on that.

I’m a mom that is an executive at a major corporation. I have times when I work a ton (like 80 hours a week) and times when I am not so busy. If your job is one where you can flex around to be at the school play, then you will be just fine at 65 hours. I’ve got older elementary kids and while they would complain about how much I work, they would also say we are super close.  They also get huge benefits from the income I earn.[/quote]

Why do people keep saying this?  You have absolutely no way of knowing whether this is true.  Personally, I think workaholic parents suck, regardless of gender.  That’s why I didn’t marry a workaholic and I would absolutely resent him if he was spending 65 GD hours a week working instead of being with his family.[/quote]
