Ask Allison: 'My husband prioritises his needs over the family'
Q Since we have had kids, I feel like my husband and I have very different values. He always puts the adults first - for example, if the kids are starving but he wants to finish something first, he will leave them waiting. He wants us to spend more time on our own as a couple even though we hardly see our kids as it is with work, and gets really annoyed when I say that any spare time I have, I want to spend as a family. I would like to take a step back and work part-time - or not at all - to spend more time with the kids, but he says we can't as it would affect my pension and our savings.
