Furious, I confronted him about neglecting the kids. He shrugged it off, claiming they were just having fun. I insisted he put them to bed and decided it was time for a change.The next morning, I treated Mark like a child, serving him breakfast with a sippy cup and presenting a chore chart complete with gold star stickers for tasks completed.
I enforced strict screen time rules, even reading him bedtime stories.After a week of this, Mark finally admitted he couldn’t keep it up and promised to do better. I restored his gaming privileges, but the chore chart stayed as a reminder. Since then, he’s been more involved with the kids, and I’ve kept the sippy cup just in case.
