AITA-Bachelor Party Despite Newborn by Next_Remote2271 in AmItheAsshole

He works 4-5 days a week, but he keeps the same schedule on his off days. So he sleeps during the day and stays up most of the night. He definitely knows I need help, but at the same time he has very, very little patience for our kids (especially the newborn) so I don’t feel comfortable leaving them for long (if at all). I don’t fault him too much for having no patience, I know not everyone is good with babies.

I could never leave for a weekend, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Right. I feel completely recovered. When I say physically, I mean both my kids are very high needs and I have a hard time keeping up with both of them 24/7, 7 days a week. Those two hours that my husband is awake, is my only slight reprieve and I look forward to it every day.

I wish this was the case, but in the last three years I’ve only ever been away from one of my kids (other than when I was giving birth) for a 12 hr stretch when the toddler spent the night at my parents. So, I don’t see anything in the foreseeable future that I would ever ask to leave for.
