[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Another father here.  Anyone in their right mind regrets having kids.  It is a relentless nightmare.
I agree that there is not point complaining about it though.  You can't push the shit back into the horse, as they say.
Next time he complains just point out that it is only a few more decades before the sweet release of death.  Until then he just has to suck it up like the rest of us.[/quote]

OMG. Dying. This is hilarious - and probably close to the right response.

OP, I get why you feel like this when your husband says this, but I really think you can't take it personally. Don't sweat the small stuff like him being on his phone while he gives them a bath - HE IS GIVING THEM A BATH.  You don't complain that he's not pulling his weight and refuses to be involved.

Can you leave the kids with grandparents or a babysitter and get away together for a long weekend? Doing that a few times a year might be just the break you need. Or better yet, encourage him to do a guy's weekend.[/quote]

We need to stop praising men for doing their fatherly duties. They don’t deserve medals.  He isn’t doing her any favors; he’s SUPPOSED to be doing these  things for his kids, but he’s doing them halfheartedly. His children are still young enough to be too wild in the bathtub and injure themselves. ‘Pulling your weight’ means you’re focused on the task at hand, not staring at your phone. I’m glad OP gave him an ultimatum and he’s pulled up his socks. Many men want to act as if they’re another baby.[/quote]

The bolded text from 9 years ago is so funny, I laughed at that one.

The updated message from now seems so toxic.  It's a sign of the changing times isn't it.[/quote]

You’re just old.[/quote]
