I agree with Tishie, time alone with dad is what’s needed. If you’re going to be in this for the long haul, you’ll have to be friendly with them. I don’t know how old the kids are but there are things that you can all do together. If they’re young take them to the park, pack a picnic lunch and tire them out there. When you get home, bath and a story and they’re off to sleep. If they’re older, invest in some board games. My kids are adults and they still love a family night playing Life, or Payday. Monopoly tends to cause some friction lol. Candyland is a favorite for younger children. Or let them kick your butt in Disney Trivial pursuit. You’re best bet in the long run is to find some common ground. Anything that you do that they know that they have your undivided attention will work. Let us know how it turned out.
