I know there are numerous threads about the often mysterious 'hobbies' of various DHs and DPs, sorry this is another one...
My DHs hobby is running, he's in a running club and he's training for a marathon. My AIBU is really more of a HLIR as I'm wondering how long is reasonable for him to spend time doing his hobby?
I don't want to drip feed so some facts about our situation: We have a very energetic 1-year-old (I've met few who aren't!). He works 40 hours a week, 15 minute walking commute. I work 24 hours a week, 40 minute driving commute. I also do occasional 12 hour shifts on top of this (2-3 a month usually). His shifts are quite variable, usually 7-3.30 or 11-7.30, I'm usually 9-5. He has 2 days off a week, 1 weekday and 1 weekend, on the weekday he looks after our toddler whilst I work. I have 4 days off a week and for 3 of these have sole charge of our toddler. The other 2 days of childcare are paid for and we can't afford more. We have 1 day off all together at the weekend. He puts the toddler to bed but I do all of the nighttime parenting when toddler wakes up, which is still every night, and have done since toddler was 4 weeks old. We have no nearby family or other easily accessible babysitters.
So I'd love some opinions please, how long is reasonable for DH to spend on his hobby?
