Husband always asks me to make the kids leave him alone...?
So I’m a SAHM and my husband works. He works hard and during the week I let him relax. On the weekends we usually do something family oriented or work on the house we just bought. Whenever he does something he asks me to make the kids leave him alone. It can be something as simple as hanging up a picture or responding to an email on the computer. The kids are 3 and 1 and want to hug on him, ask questions, etc. but this bothers him and he says he can’t focus. He gets super mad and snaps at them to go away. Whenever he does anything he tells me to make them leave him alone. Yet if I’m doing ANYTHING my kids are right there with me, and yeah it’s distracting and annoying but I deal with it. If I asked the same of him he would tell me he doesn’t know what to do with them. Lately I’ve been saying I’m going to do XYZ can you please entertain the kids? And he takes them in their room and locks the door and sits there on his phone while they tear up their bedroom. He doesn’t actually play with them. Then when I’m done he’s like “why don’t our kids ever leave us alone?” I’m like ummm they’re toddlers? Does anyone have a husband that behaves like this?
