i have 3 kids ranging from 5 to 13. When it comes to 'entertaining' it always falls to me. If they aren't on screens, they are constantly following me around and bickering with each. i have a DH who they never approach. its not like they don't know where he is. He's almost always in the bedroom on his laptop watching something. i feel so resentful that I can't seem to get even an hour at home by myself.
Its the school hols at the moment which is better as on school days its worse, I'm either at work or with kids. I just don't remember pestering my parents like this as a child. I just made myself busy on my own.
i know dh is part of the problem and i have spoken to him about it an he blames the kids saying they should really keep themselves entertained but it's pointless talking to him as he was hardly there when they were young.
