[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've also BTDT.  The kids came to me for needs or just to hang out.  My husband felt like he wasn't part of the family.  He couldn't see that he was the one who set up the dynamic.  He has basically no relationship with the teens.  He cheated to fill the empty void left by neglecting the kids and we're divorcing.  I don't think there is anything I could have done to fix it.  I'm unsure if divorcing earlier would have been better.[/quote]

I have similar situation. Kids come to me for anything, and I work full time, do 80% of parenting and house chores. My kids are under 6, and DH does not respond to their request in a timely fashion. It takes him like forever to do anything and he is like a sloth. And, he complains to me that I don’t share parenting, make all kid decision by myself, and he is mad when I complain about all housework on myself. He also complains that he is not part of the family since I do things without talking to him or involving him. Please imagine, how do I talk to someone that likes to wake up till 11am on weekend, and often go to his room after meals, and I am the one doing the cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids all by myself. It is not like that he will go out with us, then why do I need to involve him at all.

Today, I kick him out of the door in the neighborhood to get the 5 year old to learn to ride scooter after 20 min argument, and the last time he take either or both kids out of the front door to play was a year ago. And, we have  a neighborhood playground which is 2 min walking distance. WFH makes him staying in home like a glue stick. [/quote]
