Thoughts on fathers who are “involved” but yet you feel like their presence at home isn’t really…

What do you mean exactly?

I feel that way at times

Like he comes home from work watch tv plays I give him food he takes a nap and by the time he wakes up the kids are ready for bed.

Plus so am I... I don’t nap like I should. So I feel like I see less of him. Feeling a little stretched lol

My father was like that. Yes he was “in” my life. Sure we’ve lived in the same house. But growing up it was like he was living in his room away from us. I honestly can’t remember having any day to day memories of him in my life even tho we lived together. It was like I was only raised by my mother.

@wakandaforever, I grew up with divorce parents so I have no clear idea. My children will remember their dad playing video games daily watching tv and napping when he’s home. He plays tennis every week and I try to take his sons but it’s a lot on me.

It used to be like this until I went back to work 2 months ago and now it's completely different. We barely see each other on my days on at work as it's a change over. He finishes, I start, bub goes from mummy to daddy then repeats the next day unless I have the day off

Yea mine is like this but in a different way its like he is there but not there at times , like he ignores me smh

@the.real.og, true at least he’s spending some alone time with him. I want more family time i force it.

@autumnrenea757, sometimes my SO ignores me when I’m moody or he has nothing to say.

Sometimes it takes a heart to heart conversation on how you feel. Let him tell you how he feels as well. I went through this with my husband but after talking it out things got so much better

My old man in a nutshell. He was awesome when it was just my daughter. He wanted to try for a son which we had in March but he doesnt seem to want a connection with him and he is always tired . He can sleep 10 hours and still not want to do a dang thing when he gets home from work especially when it comes to the kids. I love all my kids and I love him but I told him if I wanted to be a single mother I wouldn't have had 2 with him and if he doesnt want to be a father then I can take them somewhere else and raise them I don't need him. I have proven in the past I don't need a man and he knows I'm not joking. He said he would try and he will do better but it has been almost 3 months and trying isnt working. Might I add we both work and on certain nights (I work nights) my son goes to work with me.
