[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the best things about my divorce is that it forced my exDH to be a hands on parent since he has no other option. He’s amazing with our DD, with the sole exception of doing her hair.[/quote] Me too! When we were married, I did a lot more than he realized at the time. I did all the "remembering," silent workload, etc. He was very hands on but still had no earthly idea about clothing, school stuff, etc. Now, I still do the majority but he has had to become much more competent. I enabled his helplessness by not forcing it. At the time, I just didn't want to have to parent another person ("Okay DH, go pick out her outfit, make sure it matches..." "did you notice her shoes are getting tight, go on Amazon prime and order new ones..." etc.)[/quote]
