[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this whole thing about he doesn't know how to get the kids to bed.  Has he "shadowed you" a few times while you do it?  What is so difficult?  You should be able to have at least a monthly ladies night out while he takes care of dinner and bedtime routine.  I think you are enabling his helplessness.[/quote]

It's not difficult.  He doesn't think it's necessary to do it her way and he wants to do it his way.  She doesn't like his way, so she doesn't go out.[/quote]

OP here, just to be clear, if he had a way, if for instance he wanted to feed the kids hot dogs and mac n cheese or toast with butter and than skip a bath or read 5 books instead of 3, I wouldn't care. As long as the end result was the same-kids were fed and in bed. I don't care about methods, I care about the end result. But there's no end result. I've gone to doctor appointments and come back and kids haven't eaten any meals whatsoever and are going through the pantry while he's on the computer or on his phone. That's what irks me, because than I get mad at him and than it always ends up with him sulking. [/quote]
