My DH is complaining that he needs time to himself to decompress and he’s considering taking up some sort of exercise. The problem is, he wants to do it on a Sunday morning which means I’m left to do solo childcare after doing solo childcare two full days per week already, plus I’m the default parent so even when he is around, I do the lion share of childcare. I don’t get any regular time to myself to decompress either. I might go out with friends once a month and he’ll do childcare then (which often involves gaming whilst they’re in bed…) but that’s once a month, not a weekly thing. AIBU to be annoyed that it wouldn’t be fair? The weekend is normally our time to spend time as a family. I know he’s only talking a couple of hours on a weekly basis but around my toddlers naps, that means the morning is pretty much void of doing something together. I want to support him to do what makes him happy but I can’t help but feel like I’m being lumped with a crap end of a deal.
Those with kids, when do you do things like exercise or hobbies? Any tips of how to fit it in without compromising family time?
