So, I found a couple of totally free fall festivals to attend with the kids, since husband didn't…

Its called making memories. When they're older and look back and don't see daddy in any of those memories that's when it'll hit home for them. Too late then.

Tbh I wouldn't force him because in the end he'll feel like shit knowing he didn't get to go

What sucks is that they'll know he doesn't want to be there, even if he goes, so that attitude won't be good for then either way. A parent who obviously doesn't want to be there ruins the whole experience for the kids, because they'll feel bad for 'making' him go.

My birth dad was like that too if it wasn’t his idea to go he would throw a fit, suggest things we didn’t want to do, go and be an ass the whole time, or in some cases when my mom was done with his shit she would get me and my sister ready ask him if he’s going if it was no we went without him. My dad was,is, and will forever be a piece of shit but that never stopped my mom from being the best mother she could be for my sister and I. If he doesn’t want to go places as a family leave him at home and if he constantly throw it in your face that he the one with a paycheck get you a small side hustle that you can do from home or close by and take the kids out by yourself. Never let anyone stop you from being the best mother you can be to your kids.

@caseyxo2017 @nomli we went, and as usual everyone had a pretty good time once we were there, including my husband. He just never wants to go do anything in the first place. He'd rather stay home playing video games 😤

And I'm too miserably pregnant to handle keeping up with both boys and all the stuff by myself right now

@teniaforks my birth dad just wasn't involved at all, I don't have a lot of fun or happy memories from my childhood. I really want it to be different for my kids. My husband doesn't get it, because he grew up in a normal, functional family.

😖 My dad is like that, just instead of video games it's his RC planes. Moans and grumbles until he's actually somewhere, and then he has a great time.

I'm glad you all went and had a grwat time though!

@nomli having a husband truly is the same as having an extra, very large, stubborn child.

@mateoamsavannahgg i know 😑

@joanna.davis, definitely. Absolutely, 100%.
