Hi, this is my first time posting on here and I’m just wanting to vent and ask for some advice really. I woke up this morning unwell, have been for a couple of days. Didn’t get much sleep at all so when the kids tried to wake me and their dad up I asked him if he can get up with them because I felt like crap.
they were being kids and poking him etc, he was just yelling telling them to shut up and that it was too early for breakfast. At one point I saw him tap out 5 year old with his foot and not going to lie I slapped him across the arm for it. He got up.. stomping around as usual, telling the kids to “move” and stop “fucking going on”, shouting at me that I was feeling ill “oh so you have a sore throat so you get to have another lie in” then saying he didn’t feel 100% but he had to get on with it.
safe to say hours later I don’t want to speak to him. I’ve had enough of his short temper and his shouting. The kids seem to have gotten over it and are speaking to him like nothings happened but I just don’t want to speak to him. I’m fed up with questioning this family dynamics.
he relies on everyone else in his life, he doesn’t drive. Every weekend he goes out for the day with his dad even though he barely sees the kids in the week. I feel like half the time I want to marry him and the rest of the time I question whether there is more out their for me.
My mum and step dad have starting to see how he shouts and is short tempered with the kids. His idea of parenting is sitting them in front of the tv with biscuits all day and beans on toast for dinner.
help.
