Yesterday DH had a day off, I was working. He took 2 DD's (nearly 3 and 9 months) to the beach for the day. 1.5 hours drive each way and spent the whole day there. Every body I told reacted like 'wowww that's amazing' and even 'OMG do you trust him to have them on his own all day?'. He said strangers came up to say 'well done' and the such. I've just got off the phone to mil and she said she couldn't believe he'd done that on his own. I had a bit of a rant at her asking why should he not? DH works ridiculous hours so the majority of childcare is down to me and no one would give a second thought about me doing the same. Is there really such an old fashioned/sexist few on looking after your own bloody kids?!

AIBU?
To think this is not a big deal? And wouldn't be if it were the other way round.
