[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is like yours, OP.  The dad’s get together either as a family or without kids.  It’s never just dad’s and kids.  [/quote]

Op here. Dh just isn’t a planner. To be fair, he has a very demanding job. I can’t think of one time that Dh had a play date with another dad where kids hang out with the kids. I obviously don’t have the kids all the time. When he has the kids, he just hangs out with our kids, which is totally fine.

I guess I’m annoyed that dh’s friends only want to hang out with him and not the kids(ours or theirs).[/quote]

So your husbands friends don’t dig your kids. Frankly I’m generally not a huge fan of other people’s and simply tolerate them because they make my kids happy. [/quote]

No, I think the guys want a break from their wife and their own kids. They would rather go out with other guys without the wife and kids.

Divorced guy is my son’s good friend’s dad. Our families became close over the years. The mom and I were friends and often did play dates with kids before dads even knew one another. Then we started hanging out as full families since dads also got along. Even before they got divorced, that dad would try to go out with Dh without the kids. I remember being annoyed back then and that was before we had the third child. That mom also used to say the Dh wouldn’t want to do kid things. I get it. Most guys probably would not want to go to Cox farms but they do it to hang out with their kids and even better if another family we are friends with goes together. Nope, they just propose drinks or golf or happy hour during prime time parenting time.[/quote]
