[quote=Anonymous]Oh that is heartbreaking. Kids are hard, it’s been harder than expected on my husband especially with one of our kids being challenging but he most of the time tries to enjoy them. During patches of bad times (e.g. the pandemic early days, shudder) I tried to do as much a possible and told my husband I’d rather he spent 1 hour with them nicely than being a martyr for a whole Saturday because it was “fair “ or he “should “. Did I enjoy having to do the vast majority of the childcare? No. But I preferred it to my kids feeling like their dad resented them. Maybe let him do some sort of adult hobby in the weekend afternoons? It’s harder when he feels he is fighting for your attention but that’s just part of being a parent. He doesn’t get your undivided attention all the time anymore. 
In retrospect there was some level of depression going on, he sees a therapist now and the pandemic is better and the kids are older. But it’s not ok for your kids to feel like a burden. He needs to change something if this has been going on for years. [/quote]
