How much is too much when it comes to a man getting time for himself when he is married and has a child?

I am a stay at home mom of a 3 year old little boy. I do everything there is to be done at home and my husband works to keep the finances up. I get about 1 evening every other month to myself and my husband gets about 10 or more evenings a month to himself. Should I be upset as I am or should I just let it go?How much is too much when it comes to a man getting time for himself when he is married and has a child?
Too much time for a man, is when you have the question the time.





You both should get an equal amount of time regardless.





Staying at home with a 3 year boy is a full time job as well. You deserve the same amount of time he has.





This will not be solved by coming on here, communications is one of the few keys to maintain a good relationships. You must communicate this with him, so he can know how you feel.





Hope the best for you.

Dr. Laura would tell you that you shouldn't be upset because you have it easy. You get to stay at home, do things at your pace, take care of things you want to do AND thoroughly enjoy your son!!

Your husband, on the other hand, has a boss he has to answer to, is solely responsible for bringing home the bacon, gets all kinds of stress and pressure from his job. He has the harder time.









this is to{ serene e u are a hater and a looser u wish u could stay home.!!!!!!1} any ways your job is 24/7 it shut be 50/50
Yes, you should be upset. He may work, but so do you. Taking care of a child, cooking, and cleaning are full time jobs minus the pay. He should be helping out a lot more. It is extremely unfair for you to have only 1 evening a month to yourself. Tell him to stop being so selfish. If he helped out more, there would be more time for both of you to spend together and more personal time for both of you to have to yourselves.
It should be even. How much time do you spend together. He needs to know that you have a full time job also but no pay, no sick days, no promotions and you dont get to clock out at 5: You don't clock out till you lay down at night, even after your son is asleep im sure there is laundry or something to clean. I don't think some men realize that stay at home moms are unselfish because they put there children and their family before themselves.





With or with out you he would still have the same finances he has responsibility of now....well most of them....they just don't get it



You are allowing this so either deal with it or do something about it.
i know exactly what u mean. my sons father and i were together 8 years and he was great. we both worked, and when i had our son earlier this year he just changed...he wanted to go out all the time. drinking with his friends and passing out on their couch and leaving em to do the hard work alone. so since i was already doing it alone, i just dropped him.


but for your situation, you should sit your husband down and let him know you two need to come to a compromise and either need to do things together or he should give u a break as well. if y ou dont things can get worse. you'll start holding resentment with him and thats when the fighting begins. trust me!
Where is your husband going 10 times or more a month ??? To the gym, to a bar, playing softball, golf or bowling or is it some where else ??? I think I need to know what he is doing before I can say whether I would be upset or not. As for you - why are you taking only 1 night every other month ??? Take more time for you or better yet - do something with you husband and get a babysitter for your son.
