I am blessed with naturally high level of energy, my son is too, and we do lots of sports/ outings together. My husband is a truly wonderful man, but he is not very good at taking my son out- he prefers reading to him, etc. DH has a hobby that means he is away every Sunday in the summer and at least one evening in the week training. That's all fine by me. BUT- this means he has even less energy to do outoorsy things with DS. For example- he was out all Saturday, then had a good nights sleep, a lie in and watched the Tour de France yesterday morning, me and DS went on a big hike and a paddle in the stream (he's 7), we came home at 3pm. When I then asked my DH lets all go to the playground (bearing in mind he had more than half the day to himself) , he was like "no, I'm too tired". I got really cross and told him that I do about 80% of all activities and he wouldn'teven join in after having half a day to himself! He was totally flabbergasted and couldn't understand why I'm mad?! Is he taking the mick here? I know that I got naturally more energy than him but I am getting resentful now. AIBU to expect him to pick up some active parenting??
