My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!
When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Arrange to go away for 2.5 days and leave him with the kids. May be the only way he’ll learn…through experience!

If being at home is relaxing, then what's the problem with either sorting the kids dinners or cleaning because that's what you've been doing whilst "relaxing". God lord my husband would be terrified to say this. When it happened to be for his work for three days, he left apologising, came home apologising and bringing me and the baby gifts then proceeded to scrub the house the next day on a day in lieu his work gave him for travelling on a Sunday.
I say go on a trip and he can relax at home but suspect he wouldn't do anything?
