Husband won’t ever clean or do yard work.

Anyone a stay at home mom here? I’m at home with my 4 year old and 3 year old + 3 cats. My husband doesn’t think he should have to do any cleaning, cooking or grocery shopping. And when I see him chillin on the couch or playing video games i get ticked off. I’ve told him I’d like it if he helped me with things around the house but he always says how it’s my job since I’m the stay at home parent. How would you respond if you were me? I’m exhausted and feel like this is so unfair😞

Tbh I would make it known that either something changes or I’m leaving.

ask him why he wants a wife and kids without being a husband and father.

Hire someone it to do it for him with his money 😌

I had to explain that I literally do not clock out. There’s no break. It’s 24/7 my responsibility to do everything in his world. Once he understood that reality he’s been much more helpful with house stuff. I understand that because I’m at home, it is my responsibility to carry the majority of the load around the house. However, you wouldn’t expect any employee to operate without ever having a break.

- Buy a robot vacuum/robot mop. - Buy groceries and get them delivered to you. - Meal prep and use crockpot and simple recipes. Then freeze them. - Use toilet gel clorox and don't scrub just let it sit. - Use dishwasher daily. It helps a lot to do these things. Work smarter not harder. (Use the household money to work for you.)
