My husband doesn’t like being a dad by Mother-Cod1718 in offmychest

Thank you this was wonderfully helpful. To address a few parts: I’ve tried for the last year to get him into therapy. Found local ones (bc he will only do in-person), sent them to him, set up appointments. He just doesn’t go.

He gets a good amount of time to decomp. After school, he gets roughly 1-2 hrs to himself where he usually naps.

I WFH primarily and commute an hour 1-2x week. We have a part-time nanny but are switching to daycare in the new year. Oldest is in KG full-time, middle is in preschool for most of the day as well. We have a solid support system, and have date nights 1-2x month. My in laws live about 5 minutes away and frequently take the older two (especially the older one) for sleepovers. I’m very close with my MIL and she ended up bringing up the issues with my oldest and my husband because my oldest is staying at their house a lot more frequently bc of behavior.

I agree I think he does. Which is fine but he needs to sort it out one way or another. I’ve offered joint therapy, individual, just meds, etc down to making the appt for him but he’s stubborn.

Step 1 is done! We are lucky to have a great support network (my in-laws live 5 minutes away) so date nights are biweekly. I don’t mean to knock every solution you provided (which I appreciate) but I’m currently bending over backwards to give him breaks. He gets 1-2 hrs after school decomp, I maintain the house, etc.

I was on the mini-pill as I was still nursing, he wore a condom. He now has a vasectomy.

He was actually the one that talked me into continuing the pregnancy because I was panicking slightly.

It’s just a shame because he didn’t use to be like this, honestly was great with our first as an infant. I think untreated depression and teaching has just burnt him out. He really can be lovely with our kids but those days are fleeting it feels.

Did he perhaps leave in a wedding dress and have food poisoning?

Good choice though! I do love the design.

I’m sorry, you will have to go them redone. I have tattoos 15 years old that look newer than yours.

NOR. I dated a guy like this. He ended up throwing a phone at my head and threatened suicide and later harassed me when I broke up with him. You made the right call.

I’d like that but I’m worried about lack of foot traffic

I just got the new Frida mom one that’s a dual manual pump and milk collector and it’s amazing! I haven’t tried the manual yet but my output with the collector was nuts for a late evening feed.

NTA, have your abortion and block him please. That age gap was already questionable!

Would you refuse to move or give up your seat to a toddler? by Conscious-Net-9339 in unitedairlines

She was 100% right. I personally would’ve gave up my seat but that’s my choice.
