I would have punched him in the throat...

I'm really sorry but my kids mean more to me than some bullsmurf game... and they better mean more to their fathers... my ex was an ass, we weren't together when I had dean, so I have no idea how he would have been then, but ur SO sounds like a lil punk ass... I would leave... but that's just me... I can't stand men like that...

My DH tried to wake up at night with our son the first couple weeks, but we realized it would just be easier for me to do it because he gets frustrated easily and always handed him over to me anyways lol so I've been waking up at night with them since my son was about 2-3 months and I'm alright with that because he does help as much as he can with them. If he ever tried using a game as an excuse to not help me, I would take that as a sign that his kids aren't his first priority and he needed to leave until he got his priorities straightened out. For smacking the nose sucker out of your hands, he would be walking out the door... sorry but it doesn't sound like your married, sounds like you have another child that needs to go home to his parents to finish growing up.

Look.. take the nose syringe and stick in his eye. I kid but seriously... people are on here making excuses saying that their men didnt help out either. That's bullsmurf. Sure you get up to nurse at night but he could change her diaper and/or rock her back to sleep.... Futhermore a 11 month is damn near the size of a full blown adult (exaggeration) so I'm pretty sure any feeling of being afraid to hurt the baby has ceased. He is being lazy because he can and because it has been tolerated. Unplug the internet and hide the cord that will the gaming in the bud. And if he keeps this nonsense up, it may be time to put your foot down as it pertains to the relationship.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. It sucks.
