My dh is a devoted father and very domesticated. he more than pulls his weight at home. he deserves time to himself, as we all do, but i really struggle emotionally when he's not there.
he's about to have his 3rd weekend/ shortbreak away in 4 months. i havent had any 'me time' at all during this period.
am i being unreasonable in objecting to his latest weekend (a stag weekend), while i'm stuck at home writing school reports and managing dds aged 2 and 5?
i genuinely want him to have fun, but not at the expense of my sanity.
do any of you find it hard being being left alone at the weekend?
i just know that by the end of it i'll be ratty with the girls and and feeling like i'm a crap mum- just so dh can escape for the weekend.
i know taht if i tell dh how much i'm struggling atm, then he won't go. i don't want to spoil his fun, but i don't want to be left feeling unable to cope.
any advice ?
