[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL--you are annoyed that men do not behave like women by creating playgroups and doing activities together with their kids?

You need to find something new to focus on. This is not worth your time. [/quote]

It’s actually just behaving AS A PARENT. I schedule social time away from my kids (I’m a mom). But I also socialize a lot with my children.

When my kids were younger I socialized a lot with other moms and their kids. DH was more likely to spend time with them that was not social. [b]In my experience, moms prefer to get together with their kids more than dads do.[/b] It is not required that you have play dates to be a parent. I think OP needs to find a new issue. Marriage and raining kids is hard enough without picking fights. My kids are teens now and I wish I had accepted that earlier. [/quote]

Yes. DH here. I love taking my kids to playgrounds and stuff, but it doesn't really add to it for me if other parents are around. I'm not antisocial but I definitely don't prefer to have other parents to chat with the way my DW does.[/quote]

Op here. This is fair. Dh does take the kids out. He never tries to meet with another parent or kid. Sometimes I will suggest taking an extra kid or will have a kid over when I’m not and Dh just prefers not. He doesn’t want to host a play date or take another kid on an outing. Basically he doesn’t want to meet his friends with his friend’s kids. He does not want to host a play date. He does not want to take other kids along with ours on an outing. He does enjoy spending time with just our kids.[/quote]

Yeah, find another hill to die on. This is not it. [/quote]
