[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Yes I work.

Yes I’ve tried leaving and making it DH’s problem. It doesn’t magically make him understand in a way that he didn’t before. Also, if I leave the kids just won’t get fed. Or at best they’ll scrounge something on their own from the fridge, or if DH is being super dad he might order pizza. These things are fine if they happen once or occasionally but not as a big picture solution. All of the problems and work just wait for me until my return and then I just have more to do when I get back. DH still spends tons of time of the toilet. He just ignores the kids.

So you play with the kids and let him take care of dinner. When he gets tired of handling it every night, offer to switch off. If he doesn’t handle the kids while you’re making dinner stop and handle the kids until he’s back on kid duty then resume dinner making. Don’t stress over it, let him. Stop being a martyr and either have a conversation and make a plan, or just let him figure it out. [/quote]

Lol right. What happens if OP plays with the kids is that her DH stays in the bathroom/bedroom until 7pm and says “what’s for dinner”? Then either orders pizza or gets something for himself, ignoring hungry kids. Your type always chimes in on these threads as if it’s the woman’s fault her DH is a deadbeat.[/quote]

It is her fault her DH is a deadbeat. She picked him and then keeps him. She can be a martyr or she can stand up for herself. If my husband didn’t feed my hungry kids multiple days in a row he wouldn’t be my husband anymore. [/quote]
