AIBU to expect my husband to do more active parenting?

[almost40something]

I am blessed with naturally high level of energy, my son is too, and we do lots of sports/ outings together. My husband is a truly wonderful man, but he is not very good at taking my son out- he prefers reading to him, etc. DH has a hobby that means he is away every Sunday in the summer and at least one evening in the week training. That's all fine by me. BUT- this means he has even less energy to do outoorsy things with DS. For example- he was out all Saturday, then had a good nights sleep, a lie in and watched the Tour de France yesterday morning, me and DS went on a big hike and a paddle in the stream (he's 7), we came home at 3pm. When I then asked my DH lets all go to the playground (bearing in mind he had more than half the day to himself) , he was like "no, I'm too tired". I got really cross and told him that I do about 80% of all activities and he wouldn'teven join in after having half a day to himself! He was totally flabbergasted and couldn't understand why I'm mad?! Is he taking the mick here? I know that I got naturally more energy than him but I am getting resentful now. AIBU to expect him to pick up some active parenting??

Is H also too tired to push the vacuum round and get the dishes done and put some laundry on while you’re out?

So, if op didn't fancy taking her ds out for exercise that's ok?

But she does, and constantly.

There's no point in making up problems that don't exist.

But your DH doesnt like your activities! You do all have to compromise. Your activities arent any more worthwhile than his, they are just different.

Do we know that the op's preference was to take her ds out for a hike? Or just that she did it because it's clearly in his best interest?

I think it's a problem when one parent opts out of having any responsibility for their dc, and clearly so does the op, or she wouldn't be posting.
