Now sat in car staring into space

[mamabrownbear]

I told DH about an hour ago that I needed a break. Usually I get some time to myself when he is off work, just do I can feel normal and unwind a bit. So far that hasn't happen in the last 2 days and I've found out he is working on days he normally has off so I don't/won't get a break for over a week. I said I needed a break, just a snooze and he said "ok I just need to do this this and this" but he just seemed to he adding more and more things for him to do so I just grabbed the keys and walked out. Now sitting in car park staring into space and wondering if I'm crazy. I would our DS but I've needed a break for days, just an hour away to relax a bit would have been fine but now I'm fried and can't face the week ahead. AIBU to expect him to listen when I say I need a break?

I think some posters think the OP's DH was doing (paid) work when she wanted some time to herself, but surely it reads that he was doing stuff around the house - DIY or whatever. Just not childcare!
With dc1 I didn't get much in the way of breaks, kept waiting for dh (or anyone!) to notice that I was going under. They didn't. With dc2 I don't ask I just take, and am a lot less stressed as a result.

What would you do if you ever got the chance MrsDV?

Virtual any good? >>>
