[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it, and it doesn't help OP, but there will be a lot of kids growing up to be like him if parents continue to let their kids get away with behaving how they want to behave without consequence.[/quote]

It’s develomentslly appropriate for young children to not snap to it and get dressed when dad says, or in what mom wants or any number of other things. You have no idea what you are talking about and so you should not speak. Skilled parents don’t get into power struggles over minor details with young children. Skilled parents save their strong assertions for things like life and death matters.

OP since you married and had kids with this man you need to be the soothing force. You need to take on more of the kid work because the man you married is not capable of it - you chose a partner who isn’t fully up to the task. You need to be soothing him and not pushing  his buttons and making his life easier for as long as you can stand it. You should do anything in your power to ensure that DH’s interaction with his kids are positive. Hire out for chores if you need to, have the darned groceries delivered.  You also should be taking something like PEP parenting classes with DH - for a long time if possible. Nothing else is going to work. It’s the whole you made your bed now you need to lie in it concept.[/quote]
