My partner feels my work is my free time from the baby.
So I work 5 days a week, project manager for an electrical company doing apartment blocks. I work 7 to 4 everyday, I don’t do overtime anymore I just get up early to manage paper work before I go to site.
I know what I signed up for having a baby it’s a full time job after work and I absolutely love it but should I not be entitled to even an hour every 2nd day for myself.
My partner feels that my 8 hours in work is my free time away from the baby. As soon as I walk in the door from work she hands me the baby and she heads out until 8 or 9 to her dance classes and other hobbies. Now I love spending time with my little girl if I could retire now I would just to spend more time with her.
To put it into context I gave up the gym, mountain biking, going out on a Friday with my friends for pints and every other hobby. I’m not exaggerating here I don’t do anything apart from work and take the baby everyday, but she still has her life.
I know it’s not easy having a baby all day and she needs a break and I’m not against that but she doesn’t think I should have time to myself after work. Is that fair?
