When does the bullying stop?
DH told me last night that his boss and the partners at work make fun of him for "babysitting"every weekend. Yep a bunch of 35+ year old men with their own children like to tell my H how he's my b!itch for taking care of our children every weekend while I work, and not getting to go out. It made me so mad I was seeing red. Seriously wtf, why is this ok? If you want him to go out with you on the weekends, give him a raise so I can quit my job, a-holes.
My H said he tries not to let it bother him, but they are relentless. He wasn't telling me for any other reason, except that I asked what has been bothering him. I told him he can always get a babysitter if he wants to go out, but he said he doesn't even want to hang out with them when they say crap like that.
I'm trying to introduce him more to my friend's from work husbands. At least those guys understand there's nothing wrong with caring for your kids while your wife is at work. Any other suggestions here? I hate that he has to put up with this.
Also this is a post and run, but I'll be back later!
Re: When does the bullying stop?
Sorry he has to put up with that. I have no suggestions but H goes through the same thing at work, kind of. He gets teased all the time. I think it is his own fault though (my H not yours). When we were having bad problems we stoped having sex and the guys at work teased him about it and still do.
Men will be men I don't think there is much you can do about it.
gotta agree here. if these guys have kids then what on earth do they do with them. they probably couldnt last 15mins alone with their own kids, in my opinion your h is infinitely more manly for being a responsible family man. and your kids will be much better off in life with TWO good role models to follow after.
I feel like these men are still straglers from my parents generation where the mom's do all the child rearing etc. I know my H is proud of himself that he can take care of our kids without my help at all. There's only so much he can say though when the guys taunting him are his boss and the 4 owners of the company.
Thank you for reinforcing my opinion that my children are lucky to have both their parents so invested in their care instead of just me.
