Did anybody else's husband start playing "Mr. Super Dad" upon separation? Like DH couldn't do anything with the kids at all and suddenly I'm bombarded with texts etc reminding me about kids things. Of course I'm doing all of the kids stuff. I've always done all of the kids stuff. What's up with the reminders and check ins? I'm trying really hard not to let it infuriate me
From the LBS side of this... ( and my persective as a LBS ) - it wasnt a case of starting to play Super Dad..It was a case of finding a new found freedom to be a great dad without the constant hassle from my WW..
In every aspect..
When we were a "family" we did very little with the children. WW found day trips stressful.But at the same time she would rarely let me doing anything with them without her because she didnt want to miss out on anything - the consequence of this was doing very little..
My WW has made a similar comment to yours to mutual friends - And from my persective, i am free. Me and the kids make amazing memorys on a weekly basis - The children have had the best 2 years of their lives and i have never been happier - and i know i am a great father. The difference now is that i have nobody to control me, or what me and the children do when we are together. I have become my childrens rock - i know that. I am relaible and i am always there for them, where as my WW continues on her selfish path.
In terms of the day to day stuff - Like me, i suspect he is making sure he is fully in the loop on everything that concerns his children - So with all due respect, it sounds like he is stepping up and feels he wants to be their rock - something every LBS husband should be doing.
