[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, now he wants to be Mr Mom, when they are 12 and 15 and almost completely self sufficient. Fascinating.[/quote]

Yes - this also gets me.. [b]He was so absent when I needed him.[/b] He went to the office before they went to school and came home after dinner. He never made an effort to help on a daily basis with the kids. [/quote]

But you just said you WANTED that role. [/quote]

NP: it seems to me that he dumped the difficult years of parenting onto OP (and didn’t help much at all from what she says)  and of course NOW wants to switch roles and play  “house dad” now that the kids are pretty much self sufficient and there isn’t much active parenting to do. I mean….seriously?  LOL. Don’t get me wrong- it is great that he can now WFH and be more present. But pressuring OP to find a better paying job with longer hours that she isn’t interested in right now (sounds like they don’t need the $ but he would just LIKE more) is lame. If he wanted that, perhaps he should’ve helped more when the kids were young so she didn’t feel she needed to mommy track. [/quote]

You have made stuff up. OP wanted to be lead parent. She says being married to “Mr. Mom” turns her off. So no, I don’t see anything to suggest he “dumped the difficult years” on OP.[/quote]
