[quote=Anonymous]This is NBD with the ages involved. Unless he’s actively shoving them off his lap while shrieking “anathema”, the kids aren’t even going to remember. When they’re old enough to participate in some of dad’s interests, he’ll start coming around.

He may need a little nudging at first, but after the first couple times you ask him to take them mini-golfing/hiking/to kick a ball around or out for custard or burgers and shakes, he’ll get the hang of it. The trick is to wait until the kids are fully toilet independent and relatively good at emotional regulation, and to make sure the initial activities are stuff your husband would enjoy anyway.

If you want to goose the process a little, see if you can get him reminiscing about toys he played with as a kid. That almost always ends up with the guy trying to find something similar for his own kid and then a little bonding over it. Don’t bring up things DH did with his own dad unless you’re certain there are good memories there. [/quote]
