[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hem doesn’t have to take them swimming if he doesn’t like it. Neither do you. But he does have to do something. Try leaving them with him with no instructions or demands. He will figure something out.[/quote]

No way. This is op, and kids must learn to swim for safety reasons. That is lazy parenting, and I will not be that parent. You can't opt out if you don't like something as basic as swimming. Kids shouldn't be indoors all the time. We all know that isn't healthy. [/quote]

If you have chosen swimming as the hill you want to die on then yes, you will have to take them yourself. There are plenty of other things to do outside. You can’t dictate the way he watches the kids - just make him take equal time and let him figure it out. He will likely realize it’s better to get them outside anyway but not if you’re berating him.[/quote]

Her husband is lazy. Stop with the excuses. [/quote]

He certainly may be. But to pick one activity that apparently they BOTH hate and insist he do it all the time is unreasonable. Find another solution.[/quote]

This is op. Dh hates everything, and it's not fair. Who said anything about insisting he takes them swimming all the time? You're making up sh** 
I would like it if he came sometimes to see them swim, and so would the kids. Dh is also an amazing swimmer. He could teach them. Most of the time the entire family goes swimming. That's what is the norm. I'm not asking him to go every week, but I want to feel like he's also invested in helping them. He sees that I am burnt out, and they beg to swim. It feels selfish to refuse. They are little. We do things for our kids to make them happy and he doesn't give a f about this one. [/quote]

I am afraid you’re going to have to divorce him.[/quote]

Honestly if what you’re writing is accurate and he really isn’t doing anything on a Saturday other than working out, I don’t see why you’re staying married. If he makes so much money the settlement should be fine. [/quote]
