[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH thinks that our kids do not really need to go to playdate, parties, classes etc since they have beforecare + school + aftercare (7am to 6pm Mon to Fri). He does not think they need any other planned activities, and weekend is supposed to be family time. And, his family time meaning kids playing with themselves on weekend morning and he is sleeping till 11am , and we family may go out to eat lunch or do grocery shopping/playground afterwards.

I have never seen him playing any sports (basketball, soccer or swimming etc) with our kids, and he says because it is because he does not care about those sports. However, he is willing to read them some books, play board game with them, take them to playground in the afternoon (because he is not a morning person), or we all watch family movie together. He calls this family time.

pP again.

Same dynamic here, no talking or coaching or teaching moments. Easier to watch a movie or read a book aloud. No thinking or connection or real interaction needed. Very hands off.  We have daughters so I have to compensate for the lack of social skills from one parent. We have created many orbits of friends now in later elementary, but my anti-social spouse still cannt name half their friends or parents they’ve had for five years. [/quote]
