Would you get a bit mad or am I overreacting?

If he didn't hear you he probably just thought he was doing something nice by giving you time to relax and enjoy some time at the park with LO I'd probably just say aww I wanted us to go together to which my partner would probably respond we can all go together tomorrow, I'd let it go and not cause an argument over it. I wouldn't be mad how could I be when he's taken the child out so mamma can have some well-deserved rest. You'll have plenty more time to go together and a family, I can see why he thinks that you're overreacting, but that's not to say that your feelings aren't valid

I'd let this one go because he took little one for a walk without you to give you a rest. I'm sure it was an impromptu park adventure. That's happened to me many times. Him going to the park with little one doesn't mean you two can't go together.

Is this honestly a hill you want to die on? I wouldn't personally cause an argument over something THIS small, its not a big deal. Plus, why did you need to wait for the weather to be warm? It doesn't need to be warm, plus you can actually do this by yourself, doesn't have to be something you do together.

I’d be annoyed purely as it’s the first time. First time on the slide/ swing whatever. You was being considerate waiting for him, him being a man didn’t listen and went anyways. I don’t think I’d hold a grudge. But yes I’d be annoyed, and next time make sure he acknowledged whatever I was saying.

ur overreacting i dont understand the issue why didnt u join them

I don’t know that I would be mad so much as hurt. I had a somewhat similar situation with my parents where I suggested we take my almost three yr old son to the beach for the first time to fly a kite (which I was very excited for and thought it would be fun for everyone to do together). Anyway, the next day, the weather got nice and I was about to nurse and put my newborn down for a nap, my parents offered to take my son to the park to go, have some fun while I did this, and I was grateful that he wouldn’t be cooped up inside while the weather was nice.) They were going to be gone for about an hour. Around the two hour mark, I called to see what was going on and they informed me that they were at the beach flying kites, they were gone for 3.5 hours - most of the afternoon and they had my car so I couldn’t even drive over to meet them. Everyone had fun so I tried not to make a fuss. But I was honestly so hurt. I really wanted to be there. I wish they would’ve told me before going

I know it’s quite easy to get all wrapped up in their ‘firsts’ but, trust me, there will be other trips to the park, there will be a million more ‘firsts’. Let dad walk the baby to the park as much as he likes and get yourself some damn rest.

Naw just live your fun life without him he's shown that he doesn't have interest in togetherness do you with the kids and let him be lonely when he notices tell him he's overreacting

My partner takes the baby to the park every weekend in the morning without me, sometimes I want to go at first I was all keen and now I just use the time wisely to clean, call people, do my hair etc. believe me there is nothing to be pissed about just plan another adventure another time, the park will always be there.

He did a sweet thing and took Little out so you could rest. 💖 and he called you happy and enjoying his time with Little and wanted to share that happiness with you… also sweet. The season is just beginning- you can go all together another time. My advice is to apologize for your negative reaction, explain to him that you were upset because you were really looking forward to that first time together, make a plan to go back all together soon and thank that man for taking Little out, having a good time with Little and letting you rest. 💖

Yes, you are overreacting.

I would 100% be annoyed about this. But at the same time it’s not actually a big deal and doesn’t have to be something you hold against him. Why don’t you guys put on coordinating family outfits and go do a little photoshoot in the park the next time the weather is good? Make sure your husband gets some cute photos of you and your kiddo and see if any other moms are there and they would be willing to take pictures of you as a family. Have fun!

Yah said “I’ve been” so multiple times you’ve mentioned this to him and each time he didn’t acknowledge it.. at all? Is this normal for him to pretend to not hear yah then do it w/o yah? If so have yah spoke about it? If he did hear it and did this, yes I’d be pissed. Only if it’s consistent behavior but then again you condition bad behavior by allowing it. If yah know he heard yah and not say nothing about it, he will think pea brain that you’re okay wit him playing wit your intelligence. Now. If this ain’t regular behavior for him love I wouldn’t be pissed off, aggravated yeh, but not pissed. When he gets back, preoccupy the baby and ask him if he heard yah and so on.

At least he took the kids to the park instead of being lazy at home?

If this is baby's first time at the park, then I'd be upset, too. I've considered my partner for every one of our sons firsts. Waiting for him to join, asking if he minded me doing it with him if he couldn't, etc I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it, but I would express that I had hoped we could go together as it's baby's first time but thank him for giving me some time to myself.

I would be fuming. And he doesn't need applause for taking the baby on a walk. People, including men, are actually capable of taking care of their baby AND listening to their partner.

I mean I would be upset, if it’s something I had specifically asked to do together. I’d have just said I would have liked to have joined you both because I asked if we could do this together. Then asked if we could go a different day and left it at that. It’s not for us to say you’re over reacting really as you’re entitled to your feelings. Just don’t be hard on him as it sounds as though he was trying to be helpful and let you rest. Especially since he called you excitedly to tell you

I'd be annoyed if it was his first time ever. My husband is HYPER aware of firsts (more even than I am) and wants to be a part of them so he'd be really hurt if I took baby for the first time to play.

Why does it need a reaction? Maybe he misunderstood and thought you felt it’s good to take the little one out and didn’t catch the fact you meant as family? Just ask him calmly as you never know if he intentionally wanted to go without you or whether he misunderstood. I doubt was intentional otherwise why calling you and all excited telling you that he’s at the park? What does he gain to intentionally leave you and go by himself
