I am a SAHM. DH works full time. At the moment DH:
Works Monday-Friday
Does sport on a Saturday all day, and sometimes takes a day off work in the week to do it too.
Sits watching sport or occasionally does some DIY, which gets left unfinished, on a Sunday.
He occasionally will bath our two year old but then just leaves him running around and doesn't put him to bed, and he just goes off and watches television. He won't bath our older child and says she's old enough to do it herself
He occasionally will empty the dishwasher or put a little bit of washing away, but not very often, maybe once a week.
I do:
Housework
Laundry (wash, dry, iron if necessary, put away)
Meal planning
cooking
food shopping
clearing up after meals
tidying up after everyone
Helping eldest with homework
Sorting school things for eldest, packed lunches, uniform and all that jazz
looking after the pets
Ferrying the kids around
I am fed up with feeling like a single parent. He won't even offer any input about what we could have for tea that night. I feel stuck in a rut and all I ever seem to do is domestic things, I never have any fun as there's always so much to be done. AIBU to want him to be more involved?
