I've gotten less than one handful of evenings/afternoons of being able to go play without a kid in tow since the wee one was born. He's been getting every

The best words are the truth. It hurts you and you need a break too.

Perhaps on top of getting your own time out you could work on time out together. That might help.

If it was me I would remind him that for every break he gets you need one just as bad and he needs to think of you as well.

Letting things go (like allowing it to continue) will only make it worse. I would ask him to do more around the house too.

I know this isn't much help. Responsibility is a tough thing and for guys it can be worse becuase they don't feel the need as much as women do.

He didn't go into portland like i feared he would. I've been trying to point out to him that I need 'play time' too. But we've been running into road blocks that would give me that time. Me having no license, his odd working hours (he can get off work anywhere between 3pm and 10pm,)and what i want to go do hours of operation.

It's interesting because he seems to find time to go and has the same hours. I am just saying that he could give up one of his times out or something.

Why would going to Portland be so bad? You can e-mail me the answer if you want.
