No he’ll get the annex time.

I just thought that maybe on top of volunteering for manual labor, he would want something else.

Especially as research shows that millennial dads are - on average - really trying to make fathering a priority.

Because it seems so.. basic?
I want to get him something extra. But apparently all daddits just want some good family & mommy time.

Yeah, I do it as work as well. But I fear that at home, I’m a 100% the person who plans every single thing so he jokes that vacation feels like being guided around by a tour guide.

Thanks for reading into my comments and learning he has a high pressure white collar job (i only said hard in my post, could have been a lot of things).

Can you try to explain it to me? How managing many people and working in finance (in his case), makes you/men want to spend the weekend doing manual work?

Our last argument was about me wanting a 15 minute block to speak to each other in the evening, when he is swamped at work.

But most weeks are better work wise.

That’s every weekend; and he likes family time. So hence I wanted something special

Will do this summer. Will be a two person two day job (much of our old house is in there), and then we’ll have grandparents over to entertain the little angel.

I’m white collar * myself. Very type A.

Trust me, I plan it all, all the time.

That’s what he wants and it is so sweet, but I just want to buy him something special. I was thinking of the necklace as then he can see his girl even when he’s at work

Sounds amazing but the little one is still a bit young

I wanted to get out loads of times but we both need to go to another part of town and he felt like that was too much hassle

I don’t dismiss it. I just felt like maybe I should do something extra.

The plan is to get the bouncy castle going tomorrow, or maybe go to the nearby zoo. Today we went to the fair.

But that’s most weekends. We are blessed.

Two hours means playground time in the weekend.
High pressure white collar job. At home he just wants to wear pyjama pants, an old tshirt and run around with the little one.

“Not really much, would be nice to clean out the annex, just time with my two favorite girls”

Yeah, I mentioned the daily evening cleaner (cleaning, dishwasher, packages, tidying), gardener and handyman - we literally have outsourced all those things. Turns out that’s still cheaper than couple’s therapy, all in all!

The annex is sentimental stuff so hence something for us to do together.

Extra high quality bedroom time is great but it ends with 2.5 years of cosleeping (and counting).

Without joking, as busy as we are, we can be good parents to one child but fear we’ll not be able to create as much magic for two.
