[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would he be willing to take a PEP parenting class?  It's not just the extra burden on you, but I assume DC is noticing that DH is ignoring him and doesn't feel great about it.

Also- I have to say that if my DH said "I don't work for you" I would lose it- that is a really rude thing to say.[/quote]

I did lose it, which is why I'm posting here now. I feel like he is acting like an insolent child and if I say things to him like "we're supposed to be partners in this and I feel like I'm on my own a lot" he just throws a fit and tells me how much it hurts his feelings for me to say that. When I challenge him not his stuff he immediately goes to "why are you always upset with me, oh I can't do anything right, etc." Like the way a teenager behaves when he gets in trouble for breaking curfew.

I do not want to be his mother AT ALL but I also don't understand how you get a full grown adult who made the active choice to become a parent to actually be a parent. It's frustrating to me that this is even my job, but I also feel like my kid and I both suffer because of this dynamic. I get tired and stressed because I never get a break, and my kid must notice that DH is so checked out.

I've suggested we take a parenting class together before and he kind of rolls his eyes at it, I think he knows I'm only offering to do it with him because I just really think he should do it. We've talked about doing marriage counseling but I have had a really hard time finding a counselor recently -- everyone I've reached out to is not taking new patients right now.[/quote]

He needs therapy to grow up. And if its ADHD or aspergers he needs to manage the negative symptoms. [/quote]
