posted 11th Oct
okay so lately kevin has been working alot and thats cool, i understand but hes making me so mad because hes not really helping with the house, ive asked him 3 times to fold the laundry and he doesnt do it, it gets late and he throws it on our bed, well then we go to bed and he grabs the pile of clean clothes and throws em on the floor! he doesn't clean out the coffee pot after he makes a pot of coffee and he doesn't ever do his uniforms for work and then bitches about them not being done...well i told him that he needs to start picking up after himself and helping me out or else im going on strike... he got mad at me and told me im a horrible wife because i don't keep our house spotless... keep in mind i have an 11 month old who acts more like a 4 month old. i try my hardest but i can't just let my kid scream all day, not to mention im always going to doc appts for him... i still make dinner, i take care of connor, i try to keep the house clean... am i that bad for asking for him to help me? i mean were moving soon adn when they come pack our house i want it clean.. sorry about venting im just kinda pissed/upset/frustrated... he told me because im the stay at home mom its my responsibility to keep the house clean, and i understand i don't work and im home alot but i also take care of my son, the bills,the car, the house, medical, help him with work,and almost everything else. im just gettin tired of it!

I am in same situation. I talked to my mom and she told me part of being a wife and stay at home mom is you have to do the laundry, even put it away. My hubby and I got into a huge fight about it on Monday. I did it and was still pissed off that he got his way but am slowly getting over it and he is saying thank you now for all the work I do around the house.

thats just it, he doesn't say thank you and he doesn't help, even when he is home i have to do EVERYTHING, dinner, the baby, the laundry, his work stuff.... i mean he can't even help a little! i asked him to take the trash out this morning on his way in to work and he said he will do it when he gets back.... hes already walking out there how hard is it to just carry a bag with you?!?,.

I know my hubby tries on 10 shirts when getting ready for work and puts them on the chair and I asked him to put it away and the last load of his laundry and its still sitting on the chair. I ask him why he has to try on so many shirts who does he have to impress anyways?

i agree he should help when he is off... just go on strike..haha then he will be happy with the stuff you can manage to get done.

my husband doesn't do his own laundry and then gets mad when he doesn't have clean uniforms but i told him when we got married that i wasn't touching his uniforms and he said okay but now he doesn't!

ive tried that, i went a whole week with doing nothing and the baby didn't have any clean clothes, i had to stay up till 2 in the morning doing laundry... teh only thing i washed was the baby's bottles and gtive him his bath, but no laundry got done, we didn't have any clean dishes, the trash didn't get taken out.
