RE: Grocery store
So thanks to those who attacked me earlier. Just to clear things up:
I do not mind doing eveything around the house IF
DH takes the baby for a bit each day AND I am able to run to the store by myself for 1-2 hours each weekend.
If i was not willing to do this, I would go to work and not SAH. BTW I was a single mom going through a divorce w my 1st DD years ago and I did everything. So, staying at home now and doing most of it is no big deal.

Re: RE: Grocery store
It was not an attack but the way you presented your DH is like you going to the grocery store is your break. And you can only go at his convenience. And he will not help other than donating sperm or is even interested in DS or being a father and husband.
This is the picture you painted.
When you love someone you put the others needs before your own and do anything to make their lives better.
I hope that is what you have and your DH was misrepresented.
And I hope your you time is not going to the grocery store anymore than DH him time is going to work.
And because you don't mind, does not make his lack of willingness to be present and step up when you need any more justified. As women we all do many things we don't mind, but when it crosses into neglect emotional or otherwise there is an issue.
I just want you to be happy and not have a reason to vent.
I don't think that anyone was attacking you. Most women just can't believe that in today's society a father would not watch the children for an hour so that you can go to the grocery.
IMO you want people to feel sorry for you because your DH doesn't help out with the kids... hence the defending him not doing anything around the house because "it's not his job".
That's just my two cents.....
