He did nothing, eh????

 

[Nancy]

I just caught a bit of this on the news this morning. What I heard was that he wanted to go out for a romantic dinner for their 5th anniversary and she wouldn't go unless they took the kids....now I love my kids...but a romantic dinner away from them sounds like heaven.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Poor guy... His wife won't even give him one night out together? Hmmmm....I wonder what is up with that?

 

[jodifla]

Yeah, the printed the story in one of the Detroit papers.

Basically, she's making the classic young mom mistake....only her kids count now, and she's cast her husband aside.

 

[Mi3stooges]

I have not heard the story from the begnning, but I'd like to know what has he done to help her get on this date?!!

I would hope he would make the ressies, call for a baby sitter and then take care of the kids while she gets ready. What else would he need to do?

I know this tends to be a hot topic here but I have to agree with the "classic new mom" mistake. I also loved being a new mom and would do anything for my kids but by the end of the day, I was soooooo ready to be an adult again. I felt like a voice activated juice and cookie dispenser I loved the time away from the kids when it was just "us" for awhile....Of course, 16 years later.....now I want the Husband to go away so the kids and I can have peace and quiet

Yep, he was on the local news here this morning.

Evidently the kids are still in the parents bed and the husband would like to change that but the wife likes it that way. So he has said he has tried other ways of keeping the "romance" alive but she dosen't seem interested.

So now he is on the roof until he at least gets the bedroom back!

Hard to say anything without knowing the whole story (but somehow, I managed to! ).

Seems like an awful extreme response to something that he could be doing something about. Why is his wife the only one who has the ability to "fix these problems" with the kids? Can't he put the 2yo to bed, too?

I haven't seen anything more than the website, which doesn't say a lot. I agree that husbands and wives need to make time for each other, and respect each other's feelings. They certainly ought to go out to dinner once in a while without the kids, but when was that anniversary? The baby is only 2 months old, so I'm guessing even younger on their anniversary? That is still pretty young to leave with a sitter, especially if mom is breastfeeding. If that is her reason though, the two of them ought to be able to have an adult conversation about it, and come to an agreement on postponing it for a couple of months or something.

They are probably both at fault to some degree.

So, if I spoil the kids will my husband go up on the roof?

Just kidding. I agree, married couples do need that time together.

 

[poohandwendy]

I read the webpage and I say, all the power to him. He speaks about her with respect, but wants some changes and it sounds like he doesn't think she is taking him seriously. I cannot fault him for it.

It doesn't sound like she is receptive to the children sleeping anywhere else.

I agree with this. If they have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, then he needs to get off the roof and get inside and help his wife out; she must be exhausted. (I only have one child, and I was exhausted when she was 2 months old.) How is his sitting on the roof telling the world what a bad wife he's got respecting her feelings or helping anything at all? I think it's very selfish of him.

I do agree that it's important to make time for your spouse without the kids around; every couple needs that time to themselves. But I think this man would have done better to just discuss things with his wife.

I'm not sure how effective publicly humiliating her is going to be. Perhaps private counseling would have been more appropriate. I know if my DH was shouting my deficiencies from the roof/news station/website, he would be getting the exact opposite effect he was after.

 

[Dreamer04]

OK I would be sooooo furious if my DH went public with our marriage!!

Lots of dysfunction on both sides!

 

[Beth76]

While I can see where he's coming from, he's going about this the wrong way. Airing his dirty laundry on the internet isn't going to fix his marriage. He and his wife need counseling. If he's not happy at home he should move out and file for seperation. Not camp out on the roof.

 

[mtemm]

did I read that right that their youngest is 2 months old? I'm a firm believer in parents taking time for each other, but honestly with an infant in the picture that changes things a bit for me.

 

[DVC Sadie]

All I can say is she is going to be a very sad mother one day if she continues to put her childrens wants above her husbands wants or needs. Good for him that he loves his wife so much that he is willing to take a stand for himself.
