[quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with you people??? Think about it from the CHILD's perspective. Why is it more important that Dad is not a "morning person" or that 6:30am is "too early" than showing support and excitement for your son? You give up the right to be totally selfish when you have kids. Period.

And don't forget, Dad yelled. How is that okay? There are far worse things to yell at a child about than being woken up at a time most people are up anyway for work, school, etc.

OP said that this is one example of how her DH is disengaged. I don't think she is overreacting at all. My only hope is that OP is addressing these issues with her DH so that DH can have a good relationship with the kids, because children do not forget these things.

I came from a household where my parents couldn't be bothered, and while I know they love me, to this day we are not close. Getting the little things right, like OP's example, is what nurtures the emotional closeness between parent and child.[/quote]
