I went all Codie and was like: why don't you want to spend time with the kids. You have free time all week as you don't have to feed/dress/care for kids, help with homework, put them to bed, wake them up, and deal with everyday life.
By removing all the things he says/does/doesn't do/won't do; we are left with: YOU. This is you reacting.
This is the only outcome you have control over.
To me, the question becomes:
