I am very irratated with my husband right now, to the point where i just want him to leave until he grows up. My son has been acting out lately and i think it is because of lack of attention, i pay him attention but he is not bad for me but he is horrible for my husband. I believe that my son trys his hardest to get a rise out of my husband because in his spare time all he does is sit infront of his computer playing games or dedicating every Sunday to football, or playing the PS3. He NEVER takes my son outside to play ball or anything like that. My son is VERY active and he really needs to be occupied or else he will start to plunder (he is almost 5)...
My DH thinks our son is suppose to grow up a jock because that is what he wants him to be but he won't get off his ass and play with him WTF? I am the one reading him books, cooking and cleaning, making sure homework is done.. PLAYING with him, i am not an outdoorsey type but i do get down on the floor 6 months prego to play Army men with him.
I also do most of the disapline. If i count to three and you are still not listening you are either going to time out or getting a spanking. My DH will count to three, give 4 more warnings and then just give up. Now why should my son listen to him if he knows there is no consequence? I swear men are IDIOTS!
I am a very blunt person so i have no problem talking to my DH about this and telling him what he needs to do etc.. he just doesn't listen , if it's not all about himself i guess he is not interested... WHAT SHOULD I DO... HELP!!
I am glad to be of the older generation I don't get grown men playing video games all the time. I would talk to him about it does he want his son sitting in front of the t.v. all day when he is older? He needs to set the example I am one of the lucky ones my dh doesn't play video games or watch a lot of t.v he can't stand to be sitting I would tell him he needs to step up and start acting like a father sorry I wish I had more advice for you all I can say is be open with how you are feeling
We’ve put birth in the same category with illness and disease and it’s never belonged here. Birth is naturally safe, but we’ve allowed it to be taken over by the medical community.

I'm in your position except the kid isn't mine. It's his from his first marriage and does NOTHING for him. I take care of him 100% of the time. His biological mother isn't in the picture so I have stepped up and taken on the "mom" role. I'm 20 years old and if I would have known that I would be doing ALL of the work for his five year old son, I would have NEVER married him. Sucks.
mine has been on the couch too! He is driving me nuts, i don't know if i am just hormonal but i want to choke him!

This post sounds like I just wrote a post about MY husband and son...
My husband has now been sleeping on the couch for a total of 3 weeks....
I know what you mean, he has a daughter that now lives with her mom.. we got married when she was 3 and she is 8 now. I had to do everything! before i came along his mom did everything, so he has never had to take care of her... but i finally put my foot down.. but now she decided she wanted to live with her mom... she did that about 3 weeks ago.
