Is it that your husband burns out with a lack of focused activity to do together, or does he simply find her energy draining?.
The latter. DH cannot handle multiple things happening at once and definitely cannot take non stop movement and gooey mess- all the things that dd thoroughly enjoys.
I completely understand. Our family is much like yours, it seems! DS seems to prefer reading multiple books at once, which drives my husband insane. I just run with it.
I recall from a while back you suggested gymnastics for my son. If your DD is still in classes and scheduling permits, your husband could take that over. Or, your daughter could put on her own gymnastics "Olympiad" and have Dad be the sitting judge? Ditto for other sports she enjoys. I remember diving for hours like that with my father as a kid and loved the attention. (I also became a decent diver, too!)
