[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP. Maybe frame it to your DH in terms of recognizing what your and your DH’s strengths and weaknesses are. I’d never try to coach hockey so if my kid wanted to play hockey I’d pay for them to be on a team.  I can cook so I teach my kid to cook rather than paying for a kid cooking class. Same with tutoring. Some subjects I can help my kid with, others I’m not so good and. With music lessons my experience has been my child is motivated by nearly anyone besides me. Identify specific skills and competencies you want your kids to learn. If they are NOT learning them from you, find someone who teaches that stuff to kids.

Therapy for you can help you develop the vocabulary for what your strengths and weaknesses are. Good for you for getting therapy for yourself. That’s a good first step.

Share and discuss with your DH whatever you learn about parenting. It seems one of the problems is your DH doesn’t see anything as being a problem.  He is wrong, but until he realizes that it’s going to be hard for him to see the point of what you’re trying to do. Maybe you both need couples counseling.[/quote]
