He has always been pretty much like this. He has been good with them from the time they were babies. He did change diapers when he had to and he did get them breakfast and dressed in the mornings. Never made it a point to go out of his way and see them when I took them to bed.
Most of the times he just don't think about what they need. After the split when he would show up at the house, he said hi and bye and gave them hugs but that is it. Since he don't see them hardly, you would think that the times that he does see them that he would be all over them. When he has something to do tho, he would never bother with them. Always my job like if we had a party, he would be running around having a good old time and I always had to keep an eye on them until they went to bed.
This is exactly why I grew so unhappy with him and withdrew from our marriage. He is the type of the person that will do anything for you but just no emotions or affection what-so-ever. He hates all little kid type things or making it a point to show up for the kid plays that the schools put on. His old man was the same way. My MIL told me that the FIL would only do things with the kids if it was something that he wanted to do like fishing or hunting but never once showed up for a swim meet when my H was on the swim team with school. This is the way that my H. He would only go to the zoo or amusement park with them if our friends were going.
