Really DH??!? REALLY??
SO I use my phone as my alarm for work. For some reason it shut down last night so the alarm didn't ring. Instead of getting up at 5:45, Dh woke me up at 6:30.
Now I have to rush to get out the door to work, and don't have time to take the kids to school. Dh has to take them now, as he doesn't start work until 930. I left the house at 6:45, after getting the skids up, BS up, and fixing the babys bottles (no help com Dh).
When I left the kids were putting on theory shoes, so they only had to brush their teeth to be ready for school. Half an hour later (715) when I got to work I called Dh expecteding him to be on the road to school.... Nope, he was just then getting bs3 dressed. Ok no biggie. School is only ten minutes away, so they have time since dressing bs3 and the baby is quick. School doesn't open til 730p for the skids to eat breakfast, and classes don't start til 8.
He just called me at 9 to say he just dropped everyone off and he's probably going to be late for work, and that the skids were bitching that they were late for class and missed breakfast! Ummm, what? How? How does it take you well over an hour to dress a toddler and a baby and get out the door?
He doesn't even care in the slightest. Just said, I dressed the kids, took my medicine and we left, that's just how long it took, its not like we were sitting around. Yeah, yeah you were......cause it doesn't take an hour to throw a onsies with some pants on the baby and to dress BS... It just doesn't. I even had the clothes laid out for him!
I can't count on him foranything, ever.

my xh occasionally had to
my xh occasionally had to pick up bd (as a baby) from the sitters. Hours later, I would pull into the garage and find: his car door open. the car seat on the garage floor in my parking spot (or, sometimes on the garbage cans! crawling with ants!). the door to the house wide open. the baby looking at him like wtf. and him sobbing apologies to the DOG for leaving HER alone. they are honestly clueless.
You'd think that all 4 kids
You'd think that all 4 kids were mine and that Dh was a disengaged stepfather if you just watched our family....instead of the other way around. It's rediculous.
I feel like a single mother who just happens to be married.
See, I think this is a prime
See, I think this is a prime example of what makes a man want a "mom" for his kids. Let's say they all are his bio's (maybe they are, I don't want to go double check LOL) and he is a single dad, either having full custody, or EOW, or whatever the arrangment may be. He is doing this day in and day out.....they start dating and part of that is looking for a "mom"
Men are just not naturally wired to be single parents. it was never their intended job. Not saying that some men cannot rise and triumph in the face of the task. I know lots of single dads who are sucessfully getting the job done, and raising some decent kids. But alas, the majority fall short.
The older two are his and the
The older two are his and the younger two are ours.
He's never done it on his own. Before me he had his son 1-3 days a week, and he never had his daughter. We got full custody of SS right after I moved in with him, and SD came two years later.
He seems like he doesn't care to put the effort in, not that he is incapable.
