This will be long and have some people frothing - apologies on both counts.
I work full time, usually 12 hour days (carer)
DP does not (is looking)
We have 3 DC - DS15, DSS8 and DSS5
I do:
All shopping, cooking, cleaning, admin, homework, ironing, loading dishwasher. I do mean ALL OF IT.
DP does:
Grass cutting
Walk dog
Occasional laundry
Dishwasher 2-3 times a week
Example, yesterday. I got up at 6am, work at 7am. Returned at 6.30pm. Kitchen a bomb site, no tidying done, kids uniform not ready, homework not done, kids tea not made. I put shopping away, make tea, do homework.
By 9pm kids asleep, make food for DS. Too tired to eat myself, DP asks what's for dinner. By now I have loaded dishwasher/unloaded twice. Made packed lunches, emptied bins, folded laundry. When I got in, DP was on lap top. At 9.30pm I walk the dog. I go to bed. Have been up all night with raging toothache.
Well I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
I am going on strike, quite literally. Has anyone else done this? I am fucking knackered, pissed off and he is an arse.
AIBU? Will the children suffer?
