Please can I have some advice on how to talk to,DH about this?
He and ex sometimes change access if he asks to go to a particular parent's.Fine except if he doesn't like the plans me and hubby have already made he will cancel them. I have said dss should come along and enjoy whatever we are already doing or we can pick him up after.
When we moved in we agreed bedtime 9pm as this gives us time together as adults to watch a movie that may be unsuitable for eg. Dh will not tell his son to go to bed but he also tells me I can't watch anything unsuitable.Dss is 10, dd is 1. Dd sleeps in our room so living room is only place to do anything as whole of downstairs is open plan.
Money is tight. I told dh we need to be careful. We also trying to convert attic dh doesn't help as much at home as he drops everything whenever dss wants to do something eg go out. So I have to pick up the slack. Or get left with baby.
He won't parent eg dss can leave things lying around some of which baby could swallow and dh won't ask him to clear up.
My issue is dh. My dss is a child and is just being a normal child but sick of my dh lax parenting
