My DH and I have been having problems and are trying to sort them out.
Thing is though, he is often so mean to our dd. She is more emotional and much harder work than our son, but dh can be so short tempered and, well, mean to her. Like tonight, I went out with a friend. DD needed a bath - I started it before I went out. Apparently, he had watched the football untill 10, then decided it was too late for her to have a bath (it had all slowly drained out), and upset her by making her have a shower (she hates showers).
He could have paused the football, or watched upstairs while she bathed herself (she is 7, very sensible and needs limited supervision). Instead he looked after himself, and then upset her.
There are many other things, but I just feel so sad for her. I feel like I am letting her down.
