my husband was the same for awhile but i finally got sick of it cuz our son isnt gunna stop growing and wait for him to spend time together he needs to make a choice either let time pass and by the time he will 'know how' to play with your son then it might be too late to make that special bond. i told my husband that if he can relax for an hr or two after work he can spend the rest of the time playing or relaxing with our son watch a movie read a book learn a game or sing a song start easy but you have to make time for them too dont tell him what hes doing wrong just let him know what he can do to make it right help him make that bond strong by giving time.

Martha, I think a lot of men are like this. Its not that they DONT WANT to its they dont know HOW. My husband works long hours, so when he gets home he is tired too. I let him (yes, I let him..hehe) relax or do whatever he needs to do. Then after dinner he spends time with the girls. if hes watching the news. We will get coloring books and crayons, then I slowly turn the tv volume down. You plan the time and how it will be spent. Or sometimes we all go outside play basketball or whatever, then I have to go inside for something, and I stay in while they play. Maybe you could start small by asking him to dedicate 20 mins each evening for father son time, and have some thing you want them to do. Wash the car, read a couple books, make a maze out of blocks, put on a "play" for you, ..

@ elizabeth brooks yes I already ask hem but he says he is just tire of working and that he does not know how to play , but I dont know if is because he didnot have a dad I just dont want hem to regret that he didnot spend time with his son and that when he wants to it will be too late.

you can't make him spend more time with him if he doesn't want to. I would start by asking him why he currently does not spend more time and go from there.
