What would you ladies do? I've been married 8 years. Our child is 5. Since our son was born, I've become the default babysitter while he goes to play ball or golf. If I want to go out, he makes us take our son (which is usually fine). If I ask (heaven forbid) to go out "just the two of us" he either makes his mom babysit for free (my parents are out of town) or refuses - he won't pay a sitter. NOW - when he wants to go and have fun with his friends, it's me that has to watch our little guy for free. Don't get me wrong, I adore my little boy - but a girl just wants to have fun sometimes, right?

When our son was born, I had awful Post Partum. He told me I couldn't see a therapist because the doc might tell me to leave him. So I suffered. One day, I asked him not to play ball because I was so deeply depressed, I was afraid I'd hurt myself when he left. He accused me of trying to "steal his last piece of happiness" (how sappy is that??) and went anyways. I'm better now - but that anger has just lingered, you know?
