[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people have unrealist expectations or aren't working well with their spouse.  Two of our three kids have SN.  My DH knows their challenges but he's not a good observer, not a good reporter and has his own challenges.  I'm the one who makes appointments, liaises with the care providers, prepares for the IEP/school meetings and communicate with teachers.  That doesn't mean he's opted out of parenting.  He's a great father and very involved with the kids.  He's just not good at the details.  When he does take a child for an appoitnment, I make him a checklist with information he needs to communicate to the doctor and the questions I want him to ask.  He's happy that I do it because I'm setting him up for success and not failure.  He can't help not being as good at this as I am and it's not a reason for him not to do it.  This works for both of us.[/quote]

You sound like his mother. Is he attractive to you?

If I had to baby my DH like that, I would not be in the least bit sexually attracted in that kind if dynamic.[/quote]
