[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t read parenting books or research parenting topics either, and I think letting an 8yo and 5yo entertain themselves is a real gift. I’m not sure when we decided that children needed to be entertained all the time. I’m also a believer that in parenting, with regards to time, it’s not just quality, it’s quantity. Being around is huge. He doesn’t need to make every moment magical. He seems like a very good dad to me and in general my expectations for dads are pretty high. [/quote]

I disagree. He sounds mediocre and selfish, and the part about not knowing how to disipline or relate maturely to the child with ADHD is very bad.[/quote]

I agree with pp. People love picking at posters and this is one of those cases where some posters aren't reading carefully. The issues with the child with ADHD are huge. You and your child need support. Your husband sounds like a dad I know. He has been awful. I suggest marriage or family counseling. [/quote]
