[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is applying to (A) K-12 private or going through the (B) college application process (tours, lists, programs, applications).  In situation A, is your spouse AWOL or actively going to tours, inquisitive, have goals and contributing to the family discussion. In situation B, is your spouse driving any part of the process, have ideas for filtering things out, helping young adult child sort through things, offering up tours or friends' kids at the schools to gather info, etc. or is your spouse AWOL.

I need to know what's normal. Right now we went to private and I ran the whole process while working full-time, kid was in K. Now it's testing and college time and my worst fears are coming true, spouse has nothing to contribute to the family.  This is not a question of helicopter parents pushing the kids and doing things for them. This is really what bare minimum things should a Dad do for their kid.  he never practiced sports with them, or thought of things they should try, nothing. Very laid back and just focused on his office work. Burden on me has been high. Private school resources helped but I'm really disappointed my husband has no interest or ideas for anything. anything.
