Just posted in AIBU but here might be better.
Basically DH has his kids every weekend. Saturday he took them to a football match, saturday night they watched movies together and Sunday I was at work all day. So he pretty much had the weekend to himself with them (I'm trying to point out here that I'm not always in their faces!).
During work yesterday he text me asking how work was going, what was I upto etc. I text back saying work was fine, a few other details and asked what he and the kids were upto. He replied saying "just housework and then I'm taking them home and going to tip on the way back."
Last night, still nothing knew he thought to tell me about his day.
Today a message popped up on the ipad from his ds saying what a great driving lesson he'd had with him yesterday and he'd really enjoyed their drive out. DH replies "me too, you made me really proud, you're picking it up so quickly! really enjoyed it!".
Why would you not think to mention this when I asked about their day??? he does this all the time. Wants to know the ins and outs of my kids lives yet deliberately fails to include me in theirs. A week ago he accussed me of "ear wigging on a private conversation" because I overheard him mentioning activities for the following day and wondered if we were going somewhere nice!! How rude for a grown woman to be accussed of ear wigging in her own home!! There are plenty of times I've been talking to my son and DH has asked "what was that about?".
It's so one sided. The way he deliberately tries to exclude me from their little family is actually making me resentful.

Does your OH exclude you from his life with his kids?
