Husband does not (know how to?) interact with toddler.
Is anybody else's husband constantly on his phone when left with their little one?
Every time I let him with her he does this and then I tell him to play with her and he ignores me. It is extremely annoying.
He has another child from a previous marriage and he does not do this with him.
Any advice?
Edit: I let her with him if I have to cook dinner for example and he is there. But then of course he just starts looking at his phone and I call her over to come and "help me" and it takes so much longer to finish. Sometimes I just let her with him and she tries to get his attention by giving him her toys and he takes them, puts them next to him and carries on scrolling. And then if I am out and I return, I open the door and see them there, her sitting next to him with her toys or books that she pretends to read and him on his phone. Because of this I tend to take her everywhere I go but, at the same time, I feel he has to learn to interact with her, so I will leave them once in a while alone. But I have not seen any changes. When his son is here they all play together, my husband included, so that's nice. Genuinely. Why can't he do it when he is alone with her also? I don't get it.
