KidPass
Tent for the garden
Skateboard and roller skates 
STEM games
Friggin slime ingredients and Tik Toc 
Zoom play dates
New iPad apps, like Civilization 
TED-ED

We also do things together, like make dinner and clean up. They know to hush when I’m on a call and I use headphones when I need to focus.

My children are 8 and 10, which means their old enough for independent play. When Jeff Bezos becomes a trillionaire, I’ll know I played a part.

DH can enrich all of these activities. No doubt. Teaching the children to take ownership of their day isn’t the worst outcome. Hopefully he’ll step up. In the meantime, you need to focus on getting your work done. So, hello Amazon!!

You know, XH taught me how to be a Single Mom. I loved caring for my babies! Spent all day, every day enjoying them.  It made me feel ridiculous, seeing him on the sofa with that damn iPad, while I parented. It robbed me of some of the joy I felt. It’s awful feeling lonely in a marriage.

Do what you can to provide fun, educational experiences for the children. It may awaken the teacher in DH, if not the husband and father part.

It sucks, OP.
