I dont know who else to talk to about this as it could be a very trivial matter for most of you. It just bothers me a lot. Need your advice please.

I have a 2 year old kid. I started to work since she was one year old. I do most of the things for her from cooking, cleaning, bathing, even teaching her some songs and playing. The trouble is that sometimes I have engagements (and these are very rare) when I have to go out in the evenings. My husband does not have confidence in handling her alone. The other day when I had to go out on a official engagement, I asked him if he can handle her for one evening. He said yes and I agreed in my work place to be there. Later, he completely blew up his fuse and made such a big fuss about me going. That just spoilt my mood, and left my daughter crying.

Is my thinking unfair in that he can sometimes look after her when I cannot get away? I am totally shocked with his behaviour and dont feel like interacting with him anymore. Please advise as to what steps I can take inorder for him to realise that he can take some this responsibility without over-reacting. I am sure there are a lot of dads out there who do much more than that.

Look forward to your responses.

Thanks isha replied. this is quit a common prob which many of us face and to be frank we our selves r the root cause of it.we from the begining have to train ours husbands on it ,like ask him to take care of the baby when we go for bath,when we cook ,clean..atleast on weekends.
we try to do everything whenthe baby is sleeping which is a big mistake.
try giving responsibility for short span of time then u can c the difference
