So how much private time does *she* get with your four kids? She sounds like she’s burnt out.

EVERY DAY? AN HOUR? WITH 4 KIDS? Dude...I doubt you do much parenting if you don't see how unreasonable that is. Like, I 100% understand the necessity of needing time to yourself, but that's why I'm not having 4 kids. You can only do the 1hour thing if the other parent is handling all 4 kids by themselves and... that's just so ******* hard. And you want that EVERY DAY??? Dude. Lead by example, take the kids by yourself for an hour every day for a week. You will quickly learn how unreasonable your ask is.

You dumb ****! Kids don't run on a schedule, but the reality is you can probably squeeze in some me-time when you can. Asking your wife to shoulder the full burden at your convenience is too much to ask.

An hour a day? You’re a parent. You don’t get time to yourself unless the kids are asleep.

You can have your hour, don’t let anyone tell you different. You can either wake up an hour earlier than everyone else or stay up an hour later.

You can start by YOU given her 1h every day. See how that goes

give her time first. cuz honestly I’d tell you the same thing. or do what I did and get up an hour earlier.

Damn dude, you are ******. I could come home from a six month deployment and get the kids dumped on me without an hour long break. One hour, every day… good luck. Nothing else matters… you can bring home lots of bacon but you’ll be a lazy POS for asking for a break for you. You’re not the mom you don’t get mommy time.

the dude talked to his wife reasonably who says that she can't also take an hour off? it's not even that long you can definitely take turns. obviously every day is never gonna happen but damn you can't even plan some space? you all have bad lives

Sounds like she actually gave you an option where you could have many hours a day all to yourself if it's that important to you.
