[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a come to Jesus talk is way past due.

The fact that you have a three year old and never go out with friends for dinner because he "doesn't know how to get the kids to bed" is truly insane.

[b]It's learned helplessness. [/b] Tell him you need to go out, and then go out.  I'm sure he's smart enough to put the kids to bed.  [/quote]

Yep.  You're both to blame because you've enabled this BS by falling for his "it sounds like you're calling me a bad dad just because I'm not doing any parenting at all, how can you be so meeeeeeeean????" routine.[/quote]

Harsh but true, OP.  He can (and MUST!) figure out how to get the kids to bed and you need to stop enabling him.  This whole "if what you say hurts my feelings then it must be wrong of you to say it" crap is BS.  Sure, it probably sucks for him to be called out for not parenting his kids but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be called out for it.  It means he should PARENT HIS CHILDREN![/quote]
