Give him taste of his own medicine? (DH vent)

So I have posted here before that my DH works 12hrs shifts so basically he is gone when we get up for work/DC and are in bed when he gets home. Well lately when he gets off work at 8a he goes to his friends house to watch the game and does not get home until almost midnight. This pisses me off!! Every night I express to him that I want him home, to help out of course and he still never listens. Everyone's advice is to leave LO with him all day so that he can see how it feels. Well DH is off work today and is home with DD, I get off work at 245p. I was thinking this would be a good time. But I cannot help but feel so guilty about it. Should I find something to do when I get off work or just go home. Of course I won't be staying out til midnight just maybe an extra hour or so. I really do not have anything to do, but was thinking I would go visit a friend I have not seen in months. Why do I feel so guilty about leaving him with LO all day and he does it all the time. UGH!! Any advice?

I agree thanks!!!
Thanks:)
GO! LOL...I am going to a baby shower tomorrow evening and I CANNOT WAIT to leave my DS with DH for a couple of hours (only my second time doing that).
Go to the mall...go to a movie...Starbucks...
I'm super jealous by the way!
Hahahahaa!! Thank you. This just made me realize how much I don't have a social life these days lol. Before becoming pregnant I NEVER sat still. Now I can't think of anything to do. Hmmmm maybe I'll go chop it up with my girlfriend!!
Will do:) Thanks!
I get the guilt thing....I feel it constantly. I also think I know I take way better care of LO than DH does. So I feel like if I'm out too long then little one is fussy and uncomfortable.
I'm going to a baby shower but dropping off LO at my mothers. I can't imagine DH taking care of LO for that long of time. When I do leave LO with DH for more than an hour I get phone calls with her screaming in the background and DH asking where I am. I do get extremely frustrated at times. He has to learn how to handle this. We shouldn't have to rely on our mothers to take LO when I have to go somewhere...what to do, what to do.
Absolutely go visit your friend, sit somewhere and enjoy a glass of wine, and let DH take care of DD. It is important as a mom to get those moments away to de-stress. It is better for everyone, even if it can be hard to leave DD.
And I think it's time for a talk with DH. It sounds like he is avoiding home and his responsibilities. My guess is he used to get to relax when he got home and now he is expected to help and he doesn't like it. Just a shot in the dark on that one. Life is different after baby. He doesn't get to skip out on that!
