My boyfriend works a full time job and when he comes home he eats and plays video games till after I'm in bed. On his…

Exactly what I'm going through. I know how it feels. Ask me what he's doing right now. Playing video games. No joke.

So glad the ps4 hasn't taken over my bf's life, i bought it for him for christmas cause he really wanted it, he played it for a month or two and now it doesn't even get touched. Kinda upset it gets no use but i guess it could be worse, he could've let it take over his life

You need to stand up to him and put your foot down. The reason he doesnt help is because he doesn't have too. You have allowed it to be that way. If you cut all the cords to his game he would just go buy more because he knows you won't say anything. I wouldn't even give him an ultimatum, I would just be gone because he wouldn't notice. And forget sex or head.

I would leave thats so not far

@mommyirene, ya he woke up and has been playing ever since. And when the boys are playing we have to play upstairs because when the boys are laughing and play screaming it interferes with his microphone and everybody else can hear it 😡😡

@beebaby, I've told him before to take a day off and spend it with us and he said what would I do? He said your making it sound like I'm a bad father. And he got pissed. He honestly doesn't understand what's wrong. And he would probably leave me if I told him to stop playing.... we've been together for almost 5 years 😑😑

I'm in the same boat ..

my folks say it's because moms are the nurtures so we do more when it comes to kids but I feel like it takes 2 to make that child so dad should hold up his end as well ! Then they expect us to fulfill Their needs and don't even acknowledge us or show they care

Let me tell y'all something

Your in fear of being alone but you are alone. Your doing it by yourself. There is no difference if you weren't living together other than having anotjer person to feed and clean up after. You just have another child. You need a partner. Not a burden. I don't care if he works all day, he still has responsibilities at home and if he has time to play a video game when he gets home then he has time to take care of his children.

Not saying he doesn't deserve a little me time but when you start a family you don't get that sometimes . You deserve a moment of peace as well and shouldn't have to ask for it or wait until the kids are sleep. You should demand just as much respect if not more.

@beebaby, right like I get I would never expect him to not play video games. He wasn't like this before it started about a year ago when this game came out and he plays with his friends online....

Ok

@alyssa_hoffmaster not too sound like an asshole but you can take it how you want. He kinda is a bad father. By not paying attention to his family or taking responsibility and making them play else where. That makes him a bad father. The fact that he has given his boys one bath in the whole 3 years that makes him selfish. You are pretty much a single mom. He may finanally help you but he does nothing else to help you. I wouldn't stay if I were you. You sound miserable and that isn't good for your family.

At least he's better than my ex...sometimes he wouldn't even go to work so he could play video games all day. I'm so glad I didn't have children with him...I would've killed him. Children need a father who actually fathers, not one who selfishly refuses to do basic care.

He has children that he needs to pitch in and help with. What you described is a single mother living with an irresponsible roommate. He can play video games once they're bathed, fed, played with, etc.

@nomaci, right, like I don't care that he plays video games but to play it every single chance he gets and ignores me and the kids it's too much!
