We have a 7mo and he works late every night (obviously this isn’t a problem, but just setting a picture for you all that I’m alone during the week). Last 4 weekends in a row he’s been out with friends, which I don’t mind at all apart from the fact he’s been coming home at 2/3pm the next day! Do you think this is taking the p* a bit? A night out is fine I really don’t mind but then the whole of the next day as well. I’ve said to him this is my weekend too and the only time we get to spend together as a family and you’re not here for half of it. AIBU?

Taking the piss massively.

I hate how men dont habe to go through pregnancy, labour, nursing and childcare on a lot of cases. They just magically "get" offspring.

Do you honestly have to ask? Really?
He has a baby, he may also have another woman

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/05/2018 09:13

No he's definately taking the piss. Basically opting out of parenting and it's not right.

What does he say about it? Hopefully his friends all think he's a dick too

CantankerousCamel · 26/05/2018 09:13

He seems very comfortable out of the house, not sure I would be letting him back in.

LadyB49 · 26/05/2018 09:13

He has the wrong attitude. What was he like before baby. Are his friends single?

MizK · 26/05/2018 09:16

Yes he's taking the piss. Sounds very selfish indeed. Coming back at that hour means he gets to get wasted then have the luxury of sleeping it off....he's not really entitled to do that with a baby at home.

thebear1 · 26/05/2018 09:16

Would it be okay with him if you did this? I except no. He is being selfish.

eggncress · 26/05/2018 09:17

Of course he is out of order ! Tell him you need a break yourself now as you’ve had no time off for 4 weeks .... tell him you’re going to book yourself a weekend break and leave him to it ( if you can trust him with dc)

Lollypop701 · 26/05/2018 09:31

Absolutely fine if you can do the same for the next 4 weekends? And the ‘I work hard’ is not an excuse as you do too. Maybe leaving him with your LO overnight would actually help him understand?

You're not being unreasonable at all. I'd be livid, it's totally not acceptable.
He needs to realise he's a parent and not a single guy.
