For being so pissed off that he’s doing the Brilliant Father routine now I’ve ended things?

We have three young children and I’m sick and tired of being treated like a servant by my husband. I ended things a month ago. I do bloody everything. Get them up, put them to bed, feed them, homework, hobbies, play dates, days out to the park/swimming etc, hair appointments, baths, speech therapy for our youngest etc. As well as working part time, all the cooking, cleaning, shopping etc. He spent so little time with them and regularly dumped them in front of the tv when he needed to look after them. Now we’ve separated he’s making out to everyone that he’s some kind of super dad. He’s started taking them places and complaining to friends and relatives that I won’t let him have them half of the week. Why should I go without my children for half of each week because of him? In a few months he’d start making excuses and they’d be back in front of the tv for his half of the week.

Gotta love how when men spend time with their kids, they are treated like some kind of fucking Messiah, and hero, and amazing human being............... Why should they NOT spend time with them? They are his kids too! Women don't get revered for spending time with their OWN children.

FFS! Hmm
