Question by Luv My Babies: What kind of father doesn’t feed his kid???
My husband and I have twin 3-year-old girls, and I work at night. When I got home last night, I asked him how the girls ate and what they had. He had fed one, but didn’t feed the other. I asked him, “So she didn’t eat the plate I made for her before I left?” And he said, “No, I ate it.” WTF???? This girl is on Pediasure because she’s underweight, and he knows that…it’s very important that she eats.
I’m horrified. I was uncomfortable going to work at night to begin with, because he never does ANYTHING with the girls, but we really needed the money He won’t bathe them at night, he hardly ever plays with them…he just sits them in front of the TV and gets upset whenever they make a mess. Am I being too anal, or does this guy not care about his children??

Looks like he doesnt care you need to sort this man out and tell him where he stands.

You’re not being too anal at all!!! I’d be furious!
Have him come to their next Dr appointment. Let him hear all of this stuff from a Dr, maybe that’ll make him see how important it is!

your right…what kind of a father is that? The best way to clear things up is to talk to your husband and tell him what needs to be done (in case he doesn’t know at all). He’s supposed to be a grown man and he must know what his responsibilities are..especially to his children. I suggest you guys consult a specialist or something..
ok thats is sooo fucked up. u need to ditch the dad or problems can grow worse. i tlaking he maybe abusing them and if not he can in the near feature. he doesnt bathe them thats nasty, its not heathly for kids not to bathe. and its more unhealthy for them not to eat. sure he may care aobut the kids and it will hurt u to take them away from there dad but it has to be done. this way the kids will have a safe enviorment. and even u are tight on money, try taking the kids to a day care at night or find a good babby sittier (like me!). its the best way in my opion
u shudnt leav these kids with him, he obviously doesnt care about your kids well being!
LOL! “no i ate it” hahahaha! Sounds like my dad. When i was growing up he was clueless about everything too. Mom always did everything and he just sat back and had it easy. My mom worked full time too.
Tell him to get he lazy asss up and feed the kids, bathe and play with them! Gosh what a lazyass!
Sounds like you need to make his ass work at night since you cant count on him to take care of his own kids while your at work.
You’ve got bigger problems. You don’t respect him. Not that you should. He needs a parenting class or a letter from a lawyer.
hm sounds like something my husband would do. if i wouldnt lay a plate out or they didnt say hey im hungry, i dont think it would cross his mind to even feed them. i feel for ya cus it happens around here, on weekends when i am using our only car to run errands hes at home with our boys while i take my daughter and my son hardly eats at all or much of anything (like a real meal) before laying down for a nap, then when i come home most of the time hes not even in bed, my husband forgets to lay him down and at 3 routines are very important i think. anyway, good luck, i know the feeling.
I’m sure he cares about the girls but it seems he cares more about himself. You are not being too anal – he needs to contribute to taking care of the girls, too. He helped create their lives so he should help in raising them!
