That always was one of his faults, he was overly involved with the kids from the minute I was pregnant and even learnt 'controlled breathing' with me in the labor classes (he was obviously the only man there).

To start with I thought it was caring, after a while it just got annoying, although in the M most of the 'final' decisions around the kids, he let me decide.

Since the split, it is all him him him with them and I have zero say in anything (hence the custody battle and him having custody of 3 of our kids) and although I think he is trying to modify his behaviour, he still doesn't pull it off sometimes.

I just have to have patience with him. It is obvious he cares for all of us so I have to keep this in mind.
