Husband didn’t comfort DS when he got hurt

[Whydoeshedothisfor]

My husband was playing a game with my DS tonight (12) and it resulted in him catching DS finger and hurting him which led him to cry, I walked into the bedroom and my husband wasn’t comforting him in any way and was just sat there unfazed, he was more concerned about how my DS described what happened to me than him being upset?
He’s often unemotional but is this a normal response? I did have to point this out to him when the kids were younger that when the kids get hurt the first thing he should do is comfort them.

Of course it’s not normal. Poor DS.

I did comfort my DS if that wasn’t clear, gave him a tissue and made sure he was ok before I left the bedroom. I am going to talk to my husband about it.

It is possible this is how your DH was treated himself. It can be hard to change it as it goes deep if we are treated this way.

Yes his parents are the same, particularly his Dad.
