Am I being too harsh?

If your partner suggested you take a weekend trip for your birthday then turn around and say we will have to ask our nanny to work extra hours because he’s not taking time off “just to watch my son”…. How would that make you feel?

Um disgusted. Not only did he suggest it but that just gives the vibe that he doesn't want to be bothered by your kid and doesn't look at him in a loving way as his own.. all around sad I'm sorry

A weekend trip without partner? Also is your son also his son biologically? If its a weekend trip without partner then yes you should feel a type of way this mean he doesnt want to spend time with the child on his own meaning he he probably doesnt feel a bond or want to establish one

Yup, it’s our son and he suggested I take the trip solo or with a friend. He says I’m overreacting for getting annoyed at his comment

Hmm...maybe he didnt mean it in a bad way but it did sound pretty bad. Also, he should make sure that he will be spending some time with his child. The nanny cant replace his father.

I keep trying to explain to him to watch how he says things because I don’t want our son to take it the wrong way. Like today… he said he needed to work late because he wasted an hour with our son while I went to the grocery store.

Hmmm.. idk. Maybe he isn’t meaning it the way it’s being said.

He’s not meaning it in a negative way. Maybe I am being too harsh. It’s just the way at he says it comes off SO negative

He could have said it a lot more nicely. I I don’t think you’re wrong for feeling however you feel at all. Have you asked him to elaborate ? If he didn’t mean it and he’s apologised it’s something you can move forward from x
