My husband of 9yrs dont get along with my son, They use to and now he wont hardley even answer him when he ask a ? this has been going on for about 6 years, I really feel like he wont give my son a chance...I just found out that my son is bi polar and was a major problem through the years and all the things that occured, the punching walls, not listing, being rude, etc. my husband just cant get over it and its like he wont give my son another chance, he says you have to earn respect to get it.... and i do agree, but i also think that works both ways...
My husband and myself get along great as long as it dont have any thing to do with my son, or the MAN work around the house... I feel on that subject, he should at least look into it 1st, and just not assume he cant fix it...He on the other hand would rather sleep all evening and not bother with it...Which leaves it all up to me... And I have a problem there to...
We have disscussed this more than one time.. And it may change for a day or so, But it all goes back to the same crapy thing..
Anyone have advice? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

There is an implication here that it isn't his son. And some people have a real hard time with the grace necessary to parent when that biological connection isn't there.

As to the Man work, perhaps just calling a handyman is a simpler way to deal with it right now, given the other stresses. And then your H can decide if he's willing to give away that much money so he can sleep...
