To be fuming at DH?

[megafatCEObaby]

He took our 3 kids to the shops, one of them, DS ran off (3 years old) and he couldn't find him. According to DD they were going in different shops looking for him and then found him on the steps of a sweet shop. This was all because DS wanted sweets, so DH told him off THEN bought him the sweets.

How does that teach anything?! I'm fuming! And frankly sick of his poor choices like this every weekend. I've told him he's his dad not his friend and to try having some (any!) discipline and they wouldn't run rings around him.

No, I don’t. I said it to his face and he couldn’t give a flying fuck. He’s endangering my children, why should I care calling him a few harsh words when he puts them in danger? When Im worn down and tired by not being listened to?

Safety is no.1, everything else as a parent comes second. If you can’t do the basics, what kind of parent are you?

So leave him then 🤷🏻‍♀️ What do you want us to say?

I don’t know but I wouldn’t mind if you fucked off. 🤗

OP I am so sorry, it must be terribly frustrating for you. It must seem like you have to watch the safety of four children instead of three. I remember when my DC were little, you couldn't take your eyes off them for a second, but at least I could rely on my DH to give me a break occasionally, you don't have that luxury. I really don't know what the answer is. It's easy for me to say leave him, but I know that isn't easy for you.

It's not just bad parently, it's is dangerous! Something so awful could've happened in both those situations. I wouldn't let him have the kids alone, but then that is not want you want in a co parent, and you can't leave him because then he'd have the children alone sorry, not really sure what my advice is.

Wow. Bad parenting, it is dangerous. Was so frustrated for you I couldn't type.
