Any advice?
DH has never been very child orientated and as our twins get older (now 2.5yrs) he is finding it harder and harder to be with them. Now they have their own opinions and are talking and kicking up tantrums and can be very demanding at times he finds them very hard work. So do I, and I must admit that some days I really wonder 'what have we done!' But this is also balanced by the times when they make me laugh and I see the funny side of things and they give me a cuddle to make everything better. DH however wouldn't seek to spend time with them. He has a really stressful job and works very long hours and sometimes weekends. His idea of a break is not to be with toddlers.
He says he is a useless parent but I don't know how bothered he is about not bonding much with them. The children love to be with him but they have absolutely no boundaries when they are with him and it can end up in a screaming match as all they want to do is grab his attention, jump on him, and then their games get very out of hand (throwing toys, twins beating each other up etc).
How can I help him?
