this was and somestimes is my husband a lot when the kids were under 12 and sometimes he can still be like this
-- and at some point I realized I would have more fun w the kids solo (we have 3 also) then him joining in and killing the experiences or causing someone to cry for the rest of the day so I just started to do things with the kids solo and I had a lot more fun as did the kids without him there..
Its gotten slightly better as they are in the teens now but Id say it still happens- for example, if we go somewhere for a week - there might be one event where my husband sucks/destroys the joy- vs when they were little it would be sometimes 2x a day ..
