I make a good amount of money. Enough to raise a lower upper class, upper middle class. Whatever you want to call it.

We have a 5 and 2 year old who are beautiful and I love very much. I love my wife very much as well.

I work 60 plus hours a week. Some of it is remote. And I watch the kids, do chores, cook and clean. Admittingly not as much as my wife but I still try to do as much as I can.

My wife hasn't worked since our first child was born and both our kids are in daycare now.

However anytime I'm home she wants to go out and do something, which is fine. She deserves a break from the domestic life. But I never do that and today is my birthday and I'm watching the kids while she is out. I know I could be being sensitive but I did just want to be alone for a few hours so I could play FIFA and eat Mexican.

Am I being selfish for wanting some alone time when I have kids and responsibilities. I know it's a perception thing and you're only getting my side and my wife is great but my work is really hard and so is parenting.

I don't know. I could be wrong.
