Ranting abt my husband

Hi mummies. My husband asks if he can go on a volunteer trip with his company committee to Batam for 1 night at the end of the year. By then, I would have delivered my baby for less than a month. Do you think its right that he goes? Its not impt at all, but he wants to go. I felt quite upset abt it, like he is throwing his responsibilities at me just to have fun. Seems like he have no idea the amt of ‘work’ that needs to be done with a baby.

I agree with another mummy that if he asked, it means he is open to discussion. Do let him know calmly that you need him during this period of time and hope that he understands. Men can be dense sometimes,but sometimes all it takes is to explain your POV for him to understand why he shouldn't go now. He can always go when baby is older and both of you are more confident in handling the baby. I also feel that it goes both ways sometimes. At some point, you'll also feel the need for personal time, and will need his support to tank the baby by himself.
