i don't think you're being unreasonable. DS was born at 5.45pm (and was induced - the tape thing on the tues evening & then waters broken & drip first thing on the wed). DP prob left around 11.30 that night. i think that maybe your DH won't want to leave but sometimes you have to let them work it out for themselves!

fwiw, i came home on the fri & my DP went to the footy on the fri night & i had no problem with that so it is possible to still have 'me' time with a newborn
