More serious thoughts now that my fun weekend is winding down. So in the current set up, I am trying to find a job, but essentially am still operating as a SAHM and relying 100% on my H for financial support. When he is in town (which isn't often these days due to work travel), he comes over in the evenings and on weekends to spend time with D.

I've been thinking about setting up something similar to a visitation schedule, where he would actually have her overnight on the weekends or something like that. I know that right now its my 'job' to care for her during the day, but I guess I'm looking to ease the burden of always being here or being responsible for finding child care on weeknights and weekends.

So how would that work? Being that we haven't had a R talk since my little outburst and subsequent return home, I don't know where his head is - and that is okay, but if I push for him to actually care for D in his apt (which really only consists of an airbed and TV - seriously), that may appear like drawing a line in the sand for him. I haven't even voiced to him that I am standing for our M.

My other thought is do I just ask him to stay at our house some nights so he can watch her in a setting that has all of D's stuff, and then I can come home (or not) and get my 'break' in that way? I don't mind him being here - we're comfortable around each other and he still looks after the pets and other household things if I'm not available.
