[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 24 years, I've seen my DH go from fun-loving, spontaneous, and flexible, to anxious, rigid, and controlling.

Great father to young kids, to a not-great father to teens and young adults (see "anxious, rigid, and controlling").

The first 15 years were amazing.  The last 9 years have gone downhill and now teetering on a cliff.[/quote]

Wow I could’ve posted exactly this. My DH was amazing with our young kids (the better parent of the 2 of us- he was more patient and more fun) but is now just awful with our teens. Same as yours- anxious, rigid, controlling and also moody. I never in a million years would’ve expected mine to be this way- not based on dating and early marriage, not even based on our earlier parenting years. It seems like this is common among men based on a lot of the posts here, and I wish I understood why..[/quote]

because they began to have opinions, their own view on the world, and need independence. the dad can control the time and what they do more with little kids using either manipulation (emotional) or the fact that most young kids just want to please their parents and will go along with it. teeangers not so much. they have their own social network, etc. [/quote]
