A while back DS told DH he needed to babysit Milla. I told DS that isn't called babysitting it's called parenting. DS thought for a minute and then exclaimed that DH never parents. It was funny, and made DH realize he really doesn't take care if the kids much. He's been better with getting up with them in the weekends though.
I'd totally take my sweet time later and let DH deal.
would definitly be posting to friends on FB or my moms group about meeting up for a nice leisurly dinner & dessert plus shopping & coffee afterwards if DH had that attitude
This makes me furious just reading it. If my DH pulled something like that I would definetely take myself out to dinner. And then I would get a hotel room and consider returning in the morning. Parenting is a 50/50 job. End of story.

This sounds like every single weekend in our house! I always do my errands on the weekend and 99.9% of the time I take both kids with me (SS12 & DS). I go with our neighbor and her DS who is 2 and we are just this little bundle of chaos going around town doing what we need to do and getting coffee. DH is always complaining that we never do anything as a family and he never gets to do what he wants to do on the weekends because I already have everything planned and am always off with my mom-friends doing stuff. The last time I let him 'plan' a weekend family time... we sat on the couch until 10:45 watching TV, then he wanted to get ready to go drive/hike in the hills but DS does lunch at 11 & nap at 11:30/12 for 2 hours... so 'his day' was ruined...
