[quote=Anonymous]Since no one else has mentioned it, one thing you can start doing (today!) is to give him positive reinforcement when you do see him engaged with the kids. If you tell him that you value what he's doing as a father in the moment, he'll want to keep doing that. It also doesn't hurt to admit to him that this is a chore but these kids love you and him so much and that *you* feel like that the struggle will be worth it. Don't expect that he will validate (or agree) with the statement but by modeling positive parenting techniques it might rub off on him. I would also look in to some parenting classes such as PEP or reading 123-Magic. Knowing what to expect and getting good behavior from your kids can really improve you outlook on being a parent! Even better if you can get your DH to do this with you. Good luck![/quote]
