Me (m34) and my partner (f28) have a complicated relationship, we share a child (10mthM) however we split shortly before she realised she was pregnant and have only recently started things up again.
I've always looked after my son every weekend as I work weekdays while his mum is off to look after him, after rekindling our relationship I have continued to take him at the weekends and she often will take thus as her time off from the baby to go out with friends. I understand that she has a hard job raising our son, but I've not had a night out drinking with my friends since before she fell pregnant so I feel a little resentful that she gets this weekly. We are also in a bit of financial trouble so I have picked up a second job now working 60 hours a week to support my family, so her going out drinking feels like a huge waste of my efforts. And even if she wasn't drinking, I feel she should want to spend every day together as a family much like I want.
I want to support her and give her the breaks she needs, but I feel the lifestyle she's trying to continue isn't normal for a parent? Or AITA?
