Hi! Just wondering what everyone thinks about my partner playing golf every single Sunday, all day Sunday 8am - 4pm, when we have a 7 month old baby. I don't want to be a pain but I think it's really annoying how he just thinks it's his right, he doesn't ever stop to think that I may want some time to myself too or that I'm with the baby all day. He just gets up and goes with a cheery 'goodbye'. I even ask if he can do things and he says 'remember I'm at golf all day Sunday' - am I overreacting? I just think it's a bit rude.

Next Saturday, at 8am, walk out and don't come back till 4pm...go shopping, go for a swim, a nice lunch...don't ask him, just go.

Nope, next Sunday at 7am do it

If he's at work all week, it's fair enough for him to have some 'play' time. Could he take over childcare on a Saturday or an evening or two, for you to have some time for yourself?

Interested in this thread?

What is he like the rest of the time? Can't you have Saturday or another day for you?

My husband has a hobby that takes up Saturdays but the rest of the time he's really hands on and everything is equal. I don't have me time often but I could if I chose to. I also expect him to compromise if we want to do something as a family.

I'd like to say he's good the rest of the time but as I sit here with my cold cup of tea and my eyes halfway down my face from tiredness I have come to realise that actually - he's started taking the p**s I think! He gets a lie in every weekday as he works - from home, sitting on the sofa! Hmmm. I'm just more annoyed that he knows we are both tired but has decided it's too hard working as a team so he's going to go it alone from now on and steal every opportunity he can.
