I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I'm getting a little concerned about getting our lives in order to make way for our first baby.
Generally I do most of the housework, and he is really good at helping - as long as I ask him to do it. Besides the dishes most of the time, this is the only way he will do anything around the house. He works really long days and once he takes the dog out for a walk, he's generally too tired to do anything and I totally understand that.
He's been off past 2 days and we had a relaxing day together yesterday. I've had a couple of things to do out the house today, but rather than get up and do stuff around the house, he's just sat around.
I'm just getting to the point where I'm sick of nagging, even had the 'you need to just do these things now, as what's going to happen when the baby is here' talk. He listens but then things go back to how they were.
We've been together for a long time and we don't believe in gender roles when it comes to housework etc but I think he thinks I'm perhaps not doing my share at the moment, and will still say 'if I do this, you can do that.' I think he thinks that since I'm no longer working, I should be spending more time sorting the house out. Fair enough to an extent, but some days in far more tired than others and I'm not really able to lift and move things around. AIBU for getting upset about this? Should I feel bad about not doing more?
I worry about what's going to happen when baby is here, am I going to have to nag him to help on top of me looking after a little one?
