Question

So my husband is into gaming which im fine with but lately it feels like that's all he cares about. We have a child I care for him 90%of the time which is fine but my husband is on his game 24/7. He misses all the cute things my son does. I cook, clean everything but still get no attention, I've spoken with my husband and he changes for a day then back to not paying attention to us. I feel alone which I've told him about but he just doesn't seem to get it. What would you do? I'm fine with gaming but when it comes to him just completely ignoring us it's just too much!

Answer

I would take the gaming system out or hide the games 😂 if you have already talked to him about it there isn’t much else to do. My husband and I used to play together but once we had kids neither of us really get on anymore. Sometimes he will play after the kids go to bed. I don’t understand how ppl can play 24/7.

Answer

Girl pour water on the game, while he’s at work and cut the wires too and stuff it all back on there like nothing happened so when he goes to try to and get on it doesn’t work then he’ll ask and act like you don’t know wtf happened. Then say guess you’ll have to pay attention now huh? But only if you wanna make it clear or leave his ass.

Answer

If he was like this before you married him and had a baby I’m not sure why you expect him to change now

Answer

Same thing here but he says we've got the rest of our lives with our child. It's hard to get him to understand where im coming from. It breaks my heart at times because I feel alone.

Answer

We are both gamers. We tend to only go on consoles when they nap or are in bed. I think you need to set some rules down to help you out more.

Answer

Give him an ultimatum. It’s either the games or watching your kid grow up. You will never get those moments back. You blink & your kid goes from 3 to 21. They grow so fast. 
If he wants to play games 24/7 then he can do that on his own at his own place without the worry of a child since you’re already raising him by yourself (based solely on your side of the story). If he wants to be there to see his kid grow & help, he can play his game but not 24/7 at all hours of the day. He’s gotta choose or at least compromise & only play when there’s downtime.
