What would you do? My husband offered to take our son with him and his dad to a mall thats about 40 minutes away meaning I could get a mamas afternoon off kind of day and relax and do whatever I want. Or go with them and get out of the house see a new mall but run the risk of feeling nauseous or light headed from all the walking.

@leowifey @mombie. @mummyroo91 thanks ladies I am currently home alone lol they are going to a sporting goods place which is still a ways away and will probably be gone for at least 3 hours. My FIL said if I'm not feeling up to it its ok we can go when my mom comes up to visit in 2 weeks. My husband was making me feel bad about it though saying he wanted a family outing and I'm just changing everything up. Then said if I was going to stay they might as well not go anywhere. Then at the end said to stay and they would go to the sporting goods store and be back later. So now I feel bad like I ruined everything.

@aylenrose, my husband tries the guilt trip with me and it sucks and it’s unfair and it always works on me and can never enjoy myself but try to ignore it and try to enjoy it!! I’ve only had time kid free twice in two years! Once was I quit work a day before my sons last day of daycare so I could relax before new baby came and the second time was in the hospital delivery my second so that wasn’t much of a relaxing kid free time lol
So I really hope you enjoy yourself well you can!

@mombie. Same I had one "mom day off" and that was like 8 months ago. Now I'm pregnant again and just want to be cautious because with my son I got really bad morning sickness and fainted once but that was because I wasn't eating as often as I should have. Its not like I dont want to go out and have family time its just I'd just like to be able to sit here and eat my ice cream in peace without sharing or having to make sure he's not getting to anything. I love my son more than anything and if I'm around my husband passes him off to me or my son will never want to leave my side and I need a little break to.

@aylenrose, I totally understand that! Especially the ice cream part😂 but honestly hopefully it’s not this time around and make sure you eat!!!
It’s the same way here is always me with the kids even if my husband is home and it’s not fair but to them it is fair it’s annoying but we do anything to make sure they are loved and taken care of

@aylenrose I hear you! You need to fight for child-free time. Hubs can try to lay on the guilt trip, but you know you do more than your fair share of parenting when you don't get a kid-free afternoon very often. Soak it in and ignore his attitude. 😎
