Hey ladies - this is my first post and I'm feeling pretty low. Am 7 months pregnant and working 4 days a week. My OH and I are pretty equal when it comes to doing bedtimes etc and thats always been our way. But now that its the xmas season my OH has had a series of xmas parties over the last fortnight meaning I have been home alone in the evenings a lot, while he is out drinking and he plays football EVERY saturday 11-6. So I feel like for the last month the scales have definitely tipped to me being 'default parent' doing the lions share of the childcare. This week when not working I have been with our toddler on my own - so all day Friday and Saturday and was really looking forward to just a bit of time to myself on Sunday but then OH goes and gets flu on sat night (after a huge day of drinking on friday and football on saturday) so alone again yesterday on mummy duty. Today I am meant to be at work but childminder is off and OH in bed. My one and only christmas party was tonight. I obviously cant go and I am so furious at him. He got to go to all his parties, he got to go and play football, and now he's sick. The ONE night i was going to go and have some (sober) fun. I havent had a moment away from my DC for nearly a week and I feel like I am going nuts. He has more parties at the end of the week and its all i can do to scream at him that he isn't going to them. AIBU to expect him to not go to any this week once better so i can take some time for me??
