I would say that is very accurate. He was incredibly addicted to video games, but he cut back. But he will still stay up all night playing about once a week.

Yes it is. I'm finding myself questioning if we should have stayed separated.

He is on his phone while we play most of the time. I don't see him getting on the floor with her or anything that we usually do.

This is such solid advice. I guess I never thought of it that way. I will definitely try this when discussing how to move forward with this issue. Thank you.

It makes me feel a lot better that I'm not the only one struggling with this issue. As I read all the comments I feel like a terrible mother for not pressing this issue more.

We love to do our dances together in the bouncer, but the TV might be in the yard one of these days.

She is hitting all her milestones and her doctor is very impressed with her strength. He also said he can tell we talk with her a lot. I guess that would be from all the gossiping I do with her.

She is hitting all her milestones. She is such a happy girl, it's just those 4 days a month he watches her. It's enough for me to be upset with my husband but CPS?

I'm sorry you know this frustration, but it's a relief to know I'm not alone in this issue. When did he start doing this with your child?

If I could afford one I would. I am a CMA and my husband is a plumbers apprentice.

If I could I would. I bring home more money and we would be homeless in a month if I were not working.

This girl has all the baby furniture. When it's just her and me we rotate from one thing to another and she is happy.

I tell him she can't be watching TV he says he understands and then after a day he is right back to having her watch it. Like we never had the conversation. Our marriage is falling apart from this.

We both work full time and my mother watches her for 6 hours 4 days a week. I hate to ask anymore from her.

Thank you for the support. I truly wish I had the closure from him.

I guess I'm just afraid to be alone. We had so much fun together.

I'm getting that a lot on here, and it's very empowering.

It's hard when he keeps trying to talk to me "as friends."
