WTF kind of job does he have

Another poster wondering why he appears to only work part time and do no child care.

No, I don't feel that it's safe. That's why after arguing about him taking care of DS in the morning and doing daycare drop off, I relented and gave in to just doing it myself. I don't feel secure that husband would get up and take care of DS in the morning. At least with him at daycare, I know there are adults who are awake and caring for him. I've been thinking of divorce for a while, but I fear for DS's safety while husband would have custody of him. I've gone to counseling myself, but husband refuses. I just feel lost.

He is a dog walker.

Goodness.

You are in a tough spot. That guy sounds like he is never going to be what you need.

If you don't even trust him alone with the baby, that is horrible.

Does he have a drug and/or alcohol problem?

Why does he sleep until 11am? Are you a SAHM and he expects childcare to be your responsibility?

Definitely no drugs. He drinks occasionally, but it's pretty rare, and usually just a beer or two while watching a sports game, etc.


Has anyone here divorced someone who they didn't trust to properly look after their kids while in their care?

No, he works part-time, and I work full-time.

Do you think he wants to divorce? Perhaps he'd be willing to not have custody - just visits - since he's so uninterested in looking after baby? Maybe you could come to an agreement with him?

seems to be a reasonable cause but remember - unless you go through the entire process of a child custody lawsuit with psychologists and home visits and expert witnesses and the whole nine - he's going to have some custody of the child. unless of course he abdicates entirely.

OP you have my sympathies. Did you post a few wks ago? The DH who woke up at 11am sounded familiar. He sounds like a real loser.

if you make more money than him you might be on the hook for spousal support!
