Just because you can't do anything, it doesn't mean I can't

I'm EBF DC2 (7 weeks old) and very much struggle to leave the house on my own without atleast one DC.

DH has a few hobbies/commitments which he has done much less of since DC2's birth, however he's still able to do things on his own and has done 3-4 times since his birth.

DH has wanted to spend a whole day (12 hours) enjoying one particular hobby this weekend. I however, dont particularly want to be at home all day with 2 young children at weekends when DH could be taking 50% of the strain.

I think that for a few months, it may be that we both can't do our hobbies, but as DC2 gets bigger, we will be able to again. I can't help feeling resentful if DH gets to carry on with his hobbies if I can't do mine at the moment. I said this to DH and he responded with the line that titles this thread.

Do you agree?
