I disagree with both of these comments. If I am ill, my husband does not leave the kids at home with me while he does whatever. He takes them with him, but he WATCHES them and takes care of their needs. This is what the father should have been doing.
Secondly, not all men ignore their children while football is on. My husband doesn't. Men will only do what the women around them LET them do...if they pretend not to hear the kids while they are watching the game, and the wife or whoever takes care of their needs instead-then they get exactly what they wanted. The key is, not to let hem get away with it.
I would have stood in front of the father, and demanded that the diaper be changed, that he get the banana for himself, and to watch his children-or he can leave, and leave NOW.
I have had to put my foot down many times with DH's friends...
I think I may need to start a husband boot camp.
I bet I'd make a fortune.
