[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this OP. I know other families with a similar dynamic and the kids are definitely less bonded with their father. Assuming it’s not a larger issue like ADHD, I would suggest you split up weekends into blocks: 1) DH’s time off - he can shut himself into his room and be on the screen, or else workout or nap or whatever 2) DH’s time on - he has to leave his phone somewhere so that he is responsive to DC. He can read a book or cook or fold laundry or do a household project. Meanwhile you get time off 3) Family time - both of you are “on” and engaging DC, eg playing a board game or going on an outing. Put phones away unless actively looking something up Also, are there ways you can increase your child’s independence / self-sufficiency? Eg by placing things on lower shelves, or getting a step stool? They will feel happy and confident to do things for themselves. [/quote]
