It's 8:45 on a cold, cloudy Sunday morning. Both of the kids are up. I'm up and showered. My husband is saying that he will get up "soon." I'm downstairs in the the den and I hear Difficult Child in Easy Child's bedroom, bothering him. I hear Easy Child saying things like, "Put that down! I just want to be alone right now. Don't touch that!" I go upstairs and say to Difficult Child, "Does Easy Child want you in his room?" He immediately runs out of the room and says, "He just told me to get out. If he tells me to get out, I leave," and he walked into his room and slammed the door. I walk into my room where my husband, still lying in bed, looks at me says that he was listening to the them. My reply was, "You were listening, but didn't say anything."
Does anyone else have this problem? Husband just will not pull his head out of the sand and get involved. Husband is pretty much the only authority figure that Difficult Child will listen to, and he need him to get involved and be a parent
