I'm at home with small children and DH works nights.
I do virtually all of the housework and the lions share of the childcare given that I'm the one at home and not asleep during the day. I cook for everybody, clean every day, do all of the washing and shopping.
He has two nights off (yesterday and tonight)
I asked him to do one thing in the home and that is to give the living room rug scrub whilst he's off. He said he'd do it last night but "forgot" (forgotten means couldn't wait to get on the xbox)
I then reminded him again today and he said he would do it once the children have gone to bed. He has now fallen asleep on the sofa as of 7.30 because he stayed up until 5 o clock this morning playing the sodding xbox. This annoys me because then he's useless the next afternoon.
He can go to sleep at night, despite his body clock being different. He could go to sleep at any time any place at the click of a finger. He's one of those people.
I will do it myself, but I have a bladder prolapse and uterine decent so it's not a cake walk crawling around on my hands and knees especially when there is an abled body man who lives here too.
We had an unrelated argument this afternoon as a result of him being snappy and rude so perhaps that is clouding my judgement on this one, but I'm quite pissed off.
I asked one thing of him. One thing.

A trivial one. I asked one thing of DH and hes gone to sleep.
