[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it HAVE to be hunting or fishing? Can he think of no other activity both he and each kid could enjoy? Can he not ask the kids for ideas? Does his idea of manly = just hunting or fishing or wrestling? How about basketball, tennis, golf, running (he’s a military guy he must run - can’t bring his kids?), biking, hiking, a board game, computers/tech, building things etc? There’s legit no way to connect to a son if said son won’t hunt, fish or wrestle?[/quote]

NP, you are missing the point.  OP might also be missing the point.  Here is the point:  If the boy was a stereotypical boy, it would not matter.  If the oldest girl was a boy, it would not matter.

OP's husband would find another reason why he was not connected to his kids.  This is just red herring stuff.  OP's DH needs to get into therapy.

Will he do it? Probably not. And you think OP hasn't thought of your ideas above and suggested it to him?  Of course she has.  But OP cannot fix him.

So OP needs to get to therapy to deal with her GRIEF, as expressed in her OP, that her DH is not the kind of father that she wished for.[/quote]
