Nothing I do is fucking good enough.
He's accused me tonight of having an issue with the children and avoiding them because I caught up with a programme in another room whilst they were happily settled in the living room with headphones on, playing games this morning.
The funniest part about this is.... HE WAS OUT. I was looking after them so he could go out and do something.
Apparently I should have watched my programme on my tablet in the same room so we were 'spending time together' (whilst he was out...not spending time with us)
I've told him how rich that is considering he wasn't even here himself and that I don't see what the problem is.
I was in and out of the room, tidying up, asking if they needed anything, what were they watching etc...
They aren't tiny children for goodness sake (9 & 11), surely it's not a big deal that we spent an hour in separate rooms for the morning.
I'm so pissed off. Apparently I used to make more effort with things like painting with them, baking etc... I agree we did used to do more stuff, but that was when they were much smaller, they just aren't as interested in those things anymore. All they want to do is play games and he lets them. But I'm apparently supposed to make more effort?
He does this all the time. If I want to go somewhere on a contact day it's 'dont you want to see the children' etc... I feel fucking suffocated by it.

My husband expects me to be glued to his children and it's driving me insane
