My husband is very involved and adores our son (nearly 4 y.o.) but when he comes from work or on weekends he only plays silly games with him. Like chasing each other or rough and tumble play or him being a horse with ds on his back etc. It has ds in fits of laughter and this make my husband think that this is the best way of playing. He never initiates anything educational, unless prompted by me. If I try to correct it, he says why can't I just let them play the way they play. But I can't help thinking that this sort of play doesn't develop the child in any way as they only make silly noises or roar and just generally be loud. For some reason it annoys me, but I try to just get on with my things and not make comments. Just wondering if IABU? Do other men prefer this sort of play with children? I just feel like my husband doesn't want to make much effort and all the educational side of things fall on me. If I ask him to read a book or puzzle or whatever they'll do it but I can't nag about it daily. Just curious about other people's opinions. Thanks!
