Took them walks up woods with dog. Comes in from work 4 hours sits on phone jobs in house need done dog walking empty bin litter try will just sit on phone! I feel bad for getting mad but surly this is not right

Have you suggested she get off her arse? What did she say?

AnneLovesGilbert · 20/03/2021 23:48

Not normal. You’re bound to get asked if she’s depressed so worth answering that straight away.

What does she say when you ask why she’s so disengaged from family life?

Do you suspect she’s on MN and that’s why you’re asking here?

I feel like there must be more to this story.

FlibbertyGiblets · 20/03/2021 23:52

Maybe you need to source chairs and a couch, sitting on a phone can't be comfortable.

Does this fembot have a history of malfunctioning? Can ypu think of any reason for it to be happening now. Really rack your brains.

Oh, and she shouldn't be cleaning the litter tray while pregnant.

Stop producing babies?

AlexaShutUp · 21/03/2021 01:01

No, it isn't normal, but why are you having another baby with her if she doesn't pull her weight with the other three?

mathanxiety · 21/03/2021 03:53

Could it possibly be that she is tired or suffering from morning sickness, or suffering from pregnancy related depression?

"seems to make more sense get up get wat needs done"

She's pregnant, are you unable to get those things done yourself?
