DH has a habit of just tuning out of everything at weekends, sitting there with a film on or sport on or playing on his phone and being in his own world. He ignores the DCs if they ask him for anything, does nothing at all, and just does his own thing. If I talk to him he's so absorbed in whatever he's watching/doing it takes 3 or 4 times of me talking to him for him to reply.
I spoke to him last weekend and warned him that in future every time he does this and just checks out of family life I will be going out and leaving him to childcare.
Yesterday he did it again, and so I went out for several hours on my own and left him to it.
Today he has been a bit better, although has put a film on tonight and is again absorbed in it and won't communicate with anyone (and wants everyone to be quiet, lights off etc whilst he watches it) so I've told him he can sort the kids out and have come upstairs with the laptop and to watch TV.
AIBU to just keep going out every time he does this?
