DH and I have been married for 3 years, together for 5. I'm 29 he's 38. Together we have 2 kids (3 year old boy, 6 month old girl) and we have his 15 year old daughter from a previous marriage living with us full time. Oh, and 2 dogs.
This is a glimpse into a typical day for him:
Wake up.
Get Ready.
Go to work.
Get home from Work.
Sit on couch.
Watch TV.
Play on phone.
Go to bed.
(repeat)
FOr me:
Wake up.
Get the kids ready.
Get me ready.
Drop kids off.
Go to work.
Pick kids up.
Go home from work.
Make Dinner.
Clean up after dinner.
Any cleaning that needs to be done.
Get the kids bathed.
Get the kids read to.
Get the kids to bed.
Make his lunch.
Make my lunch.
Shower.
Go to bed.
(repeat)
I am getting very resentful and I'm ready to say screw it. If I'm going to be treated like a single mom, I'm going to be a single mom. I hate that I have to pick up after 2 grown humans. To the point to where DH took DS's underwear off and they had skid marks so he had DS put on a pull up and he left the damn underwear on the floor !! He leaves his work shirts on the floor in the living room. How can i get a grown man to start picking up after himself? I love having a clean house. But I can't keep it clean. I have asked DH before to start helping me out and his response was "So you want a slave" UGH. No, But I'm sick of you treating me like one. Any ideas? i'm about to lose my mind. On top of not getting a full nights sleep, ever, because of my 6 month old that I'm still breastfeeding. :confused::confused:
