I have a question: My son's father (my fiancee) and about 5 friends are planning to to go Las Vegas for 5 days. We have a 1 year old, and I work full time. I asked him if we could go together because I need a break too, and he said no he wants to go with his friends. I then asked him if we could go to Vegas alone together before of after he goes with his friends, and he never responded. I'm kind of upset because he's requested days off to go on vacation with his friends, but never have asked for a half-day or a day off to go to the dr with me (I became very sick after my sons birth and almost died). How would you all handle this situation. I really don't mind him going, but I know it's going to be hard to take care of this baby and work by myself for 5 days straight while he goes and parties all night long...also, I just feel that he didn't take that into consideration when he decided to go. He also said that his friends didn't want to ask him at first because they thought "I wouldn't let him go"...I told him that he shouldn't have let them disrespect me that way...

He deserves time to himself with his friends and its good that you are letting him go... I wouldnt mention having time to yourself or going too (which he probably sees as an intrusion) again til after his vacation then with out asking just let him know that ur doing this...set up on one of his days off to go to a spa or girls nite or something and just leave him with your child and go have your mini vacation and get the time you need away from the kids.... dont throw it in his face just tell him u need a break to!
