My dh is a good man (works hard, never wastes money, loves dd and i) but I feel so let down by how he is at home. He's always been like this but I feel it more acutely now that we have a daughter. I hate the thought of her growing up thinking that men don't need to take responsibility for anything.
He does housework, but only with prompting. He never does anything over and above. I have to notice if anything needs repaired or replaced. He never organises or suggests anything special for us. By 'special' i mean any treat for us as a family or for just us as a couple (a takeaway, trip to the swimming, dinner out type things). He doesn't take any real responsibility for our daughter - I decide and organise anything important (appointments, what groups we go to etc).
I do all the finances, all the cooking, plan every little thing.
When I talk to him about this he just says "yeah, you're right" but does nothing to change.
I feel so hacked off. I know that what I'm writing isn't anything major really, but it's just all mounting up.
How can I get him to understand that I'd really like him to take responsibility for something? Or at least appreciate what I do?
