looking for some advice. My wife and I have a 4 year old, and he, like all 4 year olds is full of energy and enthusiasm for life. i work full time from home and also have a second job. She works one shift a week.
Over the past 6 months I’ve noticed that she never leaves the house with our son unless it’s to meet a friend at the pub. Other than that she sits in front of the TV all day while he either watches it too or draws or plays with his toys. But the tv is always on. She sits there scrolling through IG watching shows I’d generally consider not ideal for a four year old….think Real Housewife’s of Wherever, SATC etc. I know our son is not being neglected, but is this normal behaviour to do 4 days a week?
my wife gets up around 9am (when I go to work) after I’ve fed our son and she always does her own thing from 3pm onwards each day. She doesn’t cook or him or me and all washing and bedtime duties are my responsibility.
Am I being unreasonable to expect her to take my son to the park/playground (even in our own back garden) at least once every couple of days? While I do enjoy doing these things with him myself I feel like she could be doing more with him during the day.
im worries that once he starts kindergarten/school she’s going to miss out on this time and regret not being more active with him.
Am I being unfair to expect these things?
