So my husband took off work to do fun things today with our son whose 6. My son did not want to go and wanted to go to my aunts daycare to play with his friends instead.

My husband got upset and mad and tried to make our son feel bad (like guilt tripping). I hate when he does this because why try to make our kids feel worse then they already do when he first got mad about it.

I am the primary caregiver for our kids (14 and 6) and when my husband I got married when my daughter was about 5 (not bio dad) so he wasn’t there when she was a baby or they would have that relationship with them going to go do things , they do and sometimes she just doesn’t feel like it. When our son was born he didn’t help much and again he expects him to just want to go do things with him. He does go and do things , but today a friend he never sees was at daycare so he wanted to go.

Our kids usually want to go with me places and I think that definitely hurts my husbands feeling which I get. But I don’t think he should try and guilt trip and make them feel bad for not wanting to go somewhere for one day.

But today I didn’t have time to talk about this (running late for work and had to drop my son off) and again husband got mad , stating i did a double standard and his feelings don’t matter , and I told him they do and he said and you say nothing and walk away. So I just left so I wasn’t late for work.

This side of him makes me not want another child, even though it breaks my heart because I really want one.

I just needed to vent- because I have no one to talk to.
