I have a hospital app tomorrow morning and my DH is looking after my DD while I go. The thing is he has a regular playdate with her on Weds afternoons and has DD anyway for a couple of hours. Well if I come back from the hospital 'on time' I will be looking after DD for about 2 hrs until playdate if YSWIM?

Anyway AIBU to want to skip coming home and go off to town for those extra 2 hours, meaning DH will have DD 'all day' (really only about 6 hrs!)

p.s last time i went shopping alone was last September!

If you do not go shopping then you are never allowed to shop again. Us mums must take time whenever we can find it, and if it makes you feel a bit naughty all the better.

why not just tell ask dh if he would have any objection?

YABVVVVU if you don't go!! Make the most of it - treat yourself to a coffee and a nice bun too. It'll give your dh an insight into your typical day.

Of course you're NBU, I'd just tell my dh I am going shopping afterwards, it's his dd too.

You would be bonkers not to go. Shop, woman.

Thanks girls,
just the encouragement I needed!
I have told DH that I will be out (how long, he whimpered in terror?!) and that I would be back when i got back! How's that for assertiveness.
Quick, run the worm is turning

Now all i have got to hope is my DD doesn't play him up too much......
