I work full time, long shifts maybe 3 times a week but still 37.5 hours a week. I tend to do one shift of a weekend and on the other 'D'H tends to play golf, everytime. This means we have NO days together as a family, and to be fair im sick of being the only parent who ever takes the kids on days out when we go out and see mums and dads having a good time with their kids. Yes DH needs some leisure time as he also works all week but it drives me mad he is never there when I take the kids for picnics/theme parks etc. Like today ive done my cleaning job for a relative I do every week (took the kids) then we went to the park and lido then I took them for a meal in a restaurant for a treat. I had no idea DH was going to be out so long playing golf and ive just called to see where he is and he said he's an hour away. So today I will have dressed the kids, fed them three meals and now be expected to bath them and sort their stuff out for school, all whilst trying to unwind for work tommorow myself.
I dont want to stop DH having his fun but I just get so fed up that he never wants us all to go out and have time as a family unit. Is there any comprimise here or not?
