I know I am a terrific Mom I just think there might be some kind of switch in H's emotional makeup that makes sexy = bad parent.

His Mom is completely different than me in every way EXCEPT we apparently share an interest in a good R with a man that includes sex. Her fiancee died some years ago and now she lives a lonely austere life, is semi disabled and a little nutz. It almost isn't fair that he doesn't recognize that she is paying her penance over and over. She has no one. I guess I am paying mine too. "Bad Mom, you want sex when there are children to be raised! I will just have to model correct behaviors."

I realize that my H takes parenting to new heights. He is hyper-giving in many areas of his life. What is it that your H seems to value most? What does he distract himself with?

Hope you had a nice Christmas too.
