Should a mum be able to go for a drink or dinner with her friends?

My LO is 8 months old. Since she was born, I'm on duty for her 24-7 and work full time from home. I went back to work 4 day's after birth. My SO does very little to help.In that time, I've had around 8 hours FREE when I'm not with LO, him, or working.I really want to go for dinner with a friend, or a couple of early drinks with another friend- just to be free for a couple of hours. I am forgetting who i am and i feel like I'm just existing one day to the next.I had pre and post natal depression and I'm exhausted.My SO is against it and doesn't think it's right i do so because that's for "single people" despite the fact he goes out often and never babysits. He accused me of not wanting to be with the baby. We have date nights sometimes but i just want to see a friend and girltalk without having a baby hanging off me or having something work related hanging over my head.Men: would you be cool with your wife going out for a couple hours with a gf for a drink or dinner?I just want some space where I'm not mum, working, or being a housewife. Just like 2 hours a month.Edit:Calling it "babysitting" was a slip on my part. He told me "I'm not a babysitter" once and i guess it stuck. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2RONiq4
