My dd had a baby by c-section 4 months ago. She has currently got mastitis and is understandably feeling quite grotty. Baby is EBF.
Her partner is quite crap at doing stuff around the house, saying he goes out to work so shouldn't have to do domestic stuff as she's home all day.
Stupid stuff like leaving undies and socks on the bathroom floor and leaving cups in the sitting room are starting to build resentment in my dd.
This morning he called her weak. She says he has little/no sympathy for the fact she has had major abdominal surgery less than 6 months ago, and that at the mo, she's quite ill.
He will only 'help'witht the baby if he's asked to. He has said he'll do more stuff around the house if she tells him what to do.
WTF is it with these manchildren? I've got a teenage son and if he grows up like this I'll be having words with him. As it is, he knows how to use a washing machine, he can wash up, hoover, do all the usual domestic drudgery.
I really want to give dd's bloke (36 yo)a shake and tell him he's making like difficult for her. He needs to bloody pull his finger out at home and do some of the crap.
Would that be a bad idea ?!
Guess it would, but how can I help her?
