[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but him being embarrassed to attend his children events?!?

Forgot the division of labor, I would have issues with him not being man enough to hang out with his daughter doing something she liked/loved. What if you died? She doesn’t get to do things because she doesn’t have a mom around.

+1 on this mess. Misogyny in plain view that he can’t stand the company of mothers or it somehow emasculates him. Was he some incel prior to meeting you? [/quote]

Eh, DH here. I’m super involved, work PT, and go to all my kids events. Other moms are friendly but distant. I’m sure he feels isolated. [/quote]

Yea, I subbed in at “dad” events when dh was deployed.  It’s a different dynamic when you’re the only mom or dad there. [/quote]

What "dad" events are there? I only have DDs so maybe you have DS and it's baseball or something like that?[/quote]

Working mom here.  When I go to kids’ events, parents (both moms and dads) are “distant” to me too, until I talk to them. It’s not a solution to wallow in resentment and not go to the event at all. [/quote]
