I've posted about DH's lack of attentiveness to our DD before, but now it's really starting to bother me!
She's 9mo, and is going through a stage of separation anxiety. I am in the kitchen at the moment cooking dinner, and DH and DD are in the living room. I heard DD whinging at the baby gate and getting increasingly more upset. I assumed that DH would take the hint, and distract her with toys and play with her for 10 mins while I'm cooking....apparently I assumed wrong!
I had to walk into the kitchen, take a toy from the box, sit down on the floor, grab DD's attention and say "ok daddy will play with you while mama cooks dinner" for him to reluctantly get up from the sofa and put his mobile phone down
He's not been at work today either so he doesn't even have the "I'm tired" excuse to use.
AIBU to think I shouldn't have to ask/tell DH to play with his own child?! Or am I being a bit precious about it??
