[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child psychiatrist here.  The first 6 sound like ADHD.  The last 5 don’t. 
 
I have four kids close in age, and some of this just sounds like life with multiple small children.  It’s a skill and takes a lot of work.  That’s not recognized by society in general, but it’s true.  [b]You really can’t expect your spouse who has very little practice to just jump in.  
I also think that men have very little knowledge on what life with little kids is “supposed” to look like.  Women read parenting books and join playgroups, but men don’t have any of the same experiences, so they think that life is supposed to look like it does on television. [/b]

Other posters might be right that you are headed towards divorce, but if he wants to work on things, you might just have these 5-10 difficult years and then have another 40 great ones.

This is a stupid post and embarrassing from a so-called child psychiatrist. Men don't have the same experiences? Ridiculous horse shit. No, the truth is that men don't seek out any of the experiences and disdain the knowledge they need to be effective parents and partners because they don't care.

They also know that people like you will enable them in their parasitism by making stupid excuses and telling overworked wives they can't expect an adult of normal intelligence not to be a free-riding loser.

There is no female-only vortex in which the parenting books and resources you refer to are located. In fact, these resources are more available to men because their myopic self-focus and exploitative refusal to do their fair share means they have way more free time. [/quote]

I lol'ed at this too. "You can't expect men to jump in, they have no practice". Also "they have no opportunity to practice".

Like just pull up the coffee table for the guy so he can put his feet up while you're at it.[/quote]
Thank you. I have never wanted more badly to reach through my computer screen and slap someone. The fact that this clown leads off with a claim that they are a child psychiatrist, a sneaky form of appeal to authority, makes it even worse. [/quote]
