This has been playing on my mind for a few weeks now. I'm currently on maternity leave with our 2nd child (she's 6 months so mat leave nearly up ) my little boy is 3 and does 2 1/2 days at nursery, so I currently do a big majority of the housework/childcare etc. The only thing I ask my husband to do (apart from go in the garage or up the attic because I'm a wuss) is would he mind washing up. He is working a lot currently as he's doing a lot of overtime and we need the money but he doesn't contribute to anything around the house unless asked. And then he grumbles, making me feel bad for asking. He also does the dishes so quickly he doesn't clean them properly and when I put them away in the morning, some stuff is still dirty. When I spoke to him about this the other week, he proper got his panties in a bunch and said 'then I shan't bother doing it anymore if that's the response). Royally fucked me off with that attitude! It's becoming a bit of an issue because he won't do it unless asked but I hate asking because it feels like an imposition but I do everything in the house so I think he should help! Any ideas anyone???
