Leave 10 month old alone at home sleeping for a short period?


Before you say anything, please read my post, thanks.I made a throwaway for this because I can see incoming flak my way.I work long days, and I really want to start going to my community gym. I live in an apartment and our gym is 2 buildings over so roughly less than a minute walk. (Hear me out)I already wake up at 4 for work or else I would go to the gym before work. I get off anywhere between 2 and 4 and usually by the time i get home, my 10 month old is winding down for bed. My husband works from 4pm to 1am so isn't here to watch the baby with me at all. I was wondering what other parents think of this scenario:I go to work as usual, put baby to bed (he always sleeps 10 hours at night and doesn't wake up at all) and then around 8 pm while he's in a very deep sleep, set up skype or something in his room, call my phone so i can see him on video, go to the gym for about an hour (if there was an emergency i could literally run home very quickly). Is this messed up? I'm a ftm and I know you shouldn't leave a baby home ever, but is this a situation that would be acceptable to leave him home in? If hes on video and im 2 buildings away?Thanks in advance, fellow parents!Edit: thanks for the good suggestions from the nice people. But i want everyone to know that I've gotten at least 20 extremely mean, nasty pms and I think that's super fucked up. A lot of you are PARENTS telling me to kill myself? Eat dog shit? Get hit by a bus? Fuck myself? I'm asking a genuine question and a lot of you are setting a much more TERRIBLE example to your children by talking to people that way. I have been struggling with depression for years and i just wanted to get fit and feel better about myself but now i just feel like maybe i fucking should die if so many people think I'm a worthless terrible parent. Maybe i should kill myself because it's obviously fucking better for my son. I fucking hate people and you guys don't understand the effects of what you say.
