Dear Frustrated, We live in a generation that places a high value on education and careers.  Men spend years preparing and training to improve our job skills, yet many men enter fatherhood with little or no training at all.  We have to learn as we go.  Your husband is probably doing the best he knows how.  In past generations, dads had the benefit of other male role models like their own fathers, uncles and friends of the family.  If it is possible, encourage your husband to talk with other men that will give him good advice and help him to be more involved in a positive way.  You can encourage him and praise him when he does the right things.  Men respond to positive motivation.  Don’t criticize him, but support him.  Thoughts of failure and inadequacy may cause him to give up, leave, become overbearing from trying too hard, or develop a passive attitude and fade into the background of your children’s lives. ...
