[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you’re explaining it well.  Are you saying he’s responsible in the AM?  Are you saying that even though he’s exhausted and you don’t think he’s capable of good parenting that you don’t get up with your 3 year old?

Three year olds can be tough and that’s why divide and conquer is such a common sentiment.  It doesn’t sound like you’ve mastered that at all yet.[/quote]

No, I’m typically responsible in the AM. Even today (Mother’s Day) I’m up with the kids and he’s still sleeping in.

With the morning example, even if he was responsible for her in the morning, he would lay in bed and whine back at 3yo until finally getting up in a huff. He’s not proactive in getting up before the kids, he just lays around until they get so irritating and whiny he has to get up.

3 yo responds well when I just explain to her what’s going on. “We’ll go downstairs and get milk, first I need to get dressed and then we’ll go down. Here, play with your sloth while you wait”.

H and DD just basically whine back and forth at each other, escalating until H starts shouting/snapping and does what she wants in a huff.

I’ve tried talking to him about it and he says that’s how he parents and it’s fine. [b]I hate being around it, it’s very stressful and has completely killed my attraction to him. [/b][/quote]

Ok, so tell him that part.[/quote]
