it is, but our circumstances are such that my other half has pretty much looked after our little one for the last 5 years. Shes a child minder working from home so before going to school the pair of them hardly ever spent any time a part, and so weekends are sort of a break for the wife as i am home and can look after our daughter. Add to this that my wife doesnt really have a social life, so never gets the oppurtunity to "take" as it were, and it makes it all the harder justifying "swanning off" for a day with "a bunch of strangers from the internet"

If i can get my old dear to have our daughter for the day then i am pretty much good to go, as then we both get a break.

Its all about being fair, and to be honest, i definatly get the good end of the deal 95% of the time, so i cant really complain.

My wife doesnt just look after 1 or 2 kids, she child minds from 7:30am to 6:30pm and looks after 3 to 20 kids at once, on top of her motherly duties, taking little one to school, picking her up, making the lunch boxes etc

If she was a stay at home mum, or only worked part time etc the fairness of me coming or not would be gauged much differntly, everyones circumstances are different, these are mine ;)

This all sounds like you have been carefully and successfully conditioned over a number of years. Bravo Mrs Syla5 you have him right where you want him and he doesnt even know it!
