DH vent

He has the day off work today b/c of Columbus Day. I told him that I thought it would be great for him & DS to spend the day together. Selfishly, I wanted DH to see what it was like to have the baby for more than just an hour or two at a time. DH tells me he has a lot to do - car needs an oil change, lawn needs to be mowed, etc.
OK, but then he spent all day Saturday on the couch watching football, and all day Sunday on the couch playing video games. WTF. Now DS is in daycare when he doesn't need to be, and it pisses me off that I come home in tears sometimes b/c I have to work and can't spend time with DS, and he has an opportunity to spend the whole day with his son and he's passing it up.

Re: DH vent
Thay would piss me off too.
Do we have the same DH? It is seriously the exact same story in my house!
i agree - call BS on him.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do the things you need to do sometimes without DS? It's called multi-tasking, Dads. Try it sometime!
You should have just left DS at home. If your DH is like mine, he doesn't even know where the daycare is!
We don't have to pay when DS isn't at daycare, so DH will most certainly keep DS at home if he is not working!
Absolutely unacceptable. I would have just not taken DC to daycare and told him he was watching him.
Did you guys discuss what would happen today at all before the weekend? If he had all these errands then he should have done them over the weekend. He could still do some of his errands with your DC. Obviously not mowing the lawn, but he should have done that over the weekend.
My DH would never do this! He feels just as bad as I do that DD is in daycare, and any opportunity that she doesn't have to be there we take it.
That would make me upset.
