married and staying home with? my daughter I had decided finally write my book. I had discussed it with my husband and he was really supportive. Until I finally wrote a 1/3 of the book and is now being edited by my English Lit colleauges and ready to be sent off to an agent who gave me the thumbs up on my book topic. Now my husband who had been wanting to write his screenplays for a long time too is now wanting time to write as well. When I ask for a few hours in the weekend to work on my book he says he wants the same time. It's getting out of hand and very competitive. It makes me not even want to write anymore. On Sunday I gave him 8 hours to write while I took the baby out. He still has not said thank you or acknoweldged me supporting him. He is still mad that I wanted 3 hours to work on my book. Not really sure what to do. Please advice.
Just wanted to mention I write the book when she naps or after she goes to bed at night. He either goes to sleep or watches movies instead of usign the time to write.
 
say WTF i have been taking care of OUR baby while you write away, i would love for you to make the time for me and take care of OUR baby GOT IT!
 
sounds like two little kids fighting over computer time.. come on really is it worth fighting over? let him have his time and you dont need a thank you, your a team you find time to write, he probably works so just let it be.. There are much better things to do with your time together than fight about who did what or gotta to do what or didnt do whatever you know
 
You both share child duties. What you do with yours is no business of his, and vice versa. So, write when he is watching the child, and when you are watching him, don't worry what he is doing. If he's mad, just tell him he's being a jerk.
 
wow, im sorry to hear this, i personally think that you should probably hire a babysitter for a few hours in the day so you can work on your book without having to bother your husband, this way your daughter is getting taken care of and you and your husband both have a hance to work or writing with out having to exchange words about who's taking care of the child =]
