so pissed off 🙄

my husband has had a week off of work, more than a week actually. not a single one of these days has he got up with our toddler in the morning, he hasnt done a dish. he hasnt lifted a bastard finger. this morning i woke him up at 11:00. he has come downstairs & lay on the sofa. he has only moved once to go get himself a bowl of cereal. my toddler has decided he isnt napping today. my house is an absolute shit hole. i feel like shit. and when i get angry he tells me to chill. i am at the end of my tether. i really feel like walking out this house & never coming back.

I totally understand the frustration! My partner can get like this too sometimes- controversially, ask if he's okay... Hear me out... Ask once, if he says he's okay ask again, if he says I'm fine why say- because you've not helped out at all this week so I thought you were struggling with something? This opens the convocation by being understanding (which is hard to be!) but gives them the emotional nudge to realise they've taken the absolute piss!

hes now gone upstairs after an argument over washing. absolutely ridiculous to be honest. i ask for help constantly & get nothing back. he has the stress of bills & such but i have to do EVERYTHING else and i think he thinks its easy. he can go fuck himself right now & i will speak to him calmly when he decides to grace me and his child his presence

Nothing excuses that type of behaviour sorry! And this is why a lot of mums feel single in their marriage because shit you might as well do it yourself! Hang in there, I can’t even imagine how hard it is looking after a baby and dealing with the house stress ontop of that and cooking. Men should automatically take the initiative to take care of everything else whilst mum is taking care of baby. But men are stupid AF! sorry you’re going through that! Definitely speak to him about everything you feel because that is not okay! He needs to understands the importance of you taking care of yourself so you can be the best you can for your baby

That sounds so tiring and frustrating.. I am so sorry you’re going through this.. I hope he steps up and takes a load off of your shoulders

lol he sleeps in till 11? That is a red flag in itself 😭 he needs to grow up or he’s gonna get a rude awakening. I’d put my foot down and leave for a couple days to show you are serious if you’ve exhausted all other options like communicating. He doesn’t seem to get how hard it is for you to do it all by yourself. Maybe you should go somewhere for a day or two and let him do it all if you feel your child would be safe to do that. He needs to be put in your shoes

My partners been off this week as well. He’s like may as well get everyone done for Christmas -I don’t drive- we’ve done one of the 6 people we needed to do for Christmas… pure annoyance: just pretended he wasn’t there really in the mornings

My babys dad was like this, he used to sleep in every weekend until at least 3pm and NEVER helped. He would hear baby cry when milk was due or if I was making it but wouldn't attempt to get up and help me but then he'd moan once he was up that he had to sleep as my baby was crying and it woke him up. Anytime he gets to spend with my boy he chooses to sleep ... I kicked him out and it was the best thing I've done. Honestly so much more chill and calm without him around! It's really not fair on you at all
