[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I saw my DH was in a really bad mood, I'd probably discourage him from doing the bedtime routine and ask him to go relax/have a glass of wine (if it would mellow him, not if it made him more cranky), or asked him to find us a movie to watch. But, full disclosure, even when my DH is cranky, he doesn't behave this way, so this is all hypothetical. [/quote]

OP here.  I'm totally happy doing the whole bedtime with DC every night and have told DH that.  He insists on doing it the way we have been.  He has never liked reading with DC, so if I am out of town he skips that part.  He likes lying down next to DC and sometimes falls asleep/takes a short nap.  Ever since DC started kindergarten he has had a little burst of energy right before bedtime.  He goes to bed on the early side (7:15/7:30pm) so maybe we should push it later.[/quote]

What kind of dad doesn't like reading to his kids?! Maybe he needs to read up on the importance. Reading to your kids is the #1 indicator for success. It's so important to have two involved parents who love reading. [/quote]

Lots of dads don’t read to kids.  They’re typically better with physical activities.[/quote]
