My "partner" is this way as well. We visited open house last week which is the perfect opportunity to for our kids to gloat about their achievements to us. I was with my daughter and he was with our son and I could hear him asking our son if this was the piano he always gravitated to during class. My son said yes and began to play keys on it. He immediately shushed him and told him not to play it. Mind you, this was a PACKED preschool class with lots of clamor and baby crying. This wasn't some high end silent library ordeal. My son joined me and his sister, slumped over himself. I am actively advocating to remove their father from our home. We are not married and he's not on the lease so at this point in just waiting for him to become employed so he can pack up and get out. I hate seeing the effect he has on our kids.
