To think OH could do something while I'm at work?!

[blitzgirl]

I'm sat here unable to sleep after being woken up by my 3yo because I'm so angry at the state my house is in! (And nursing injuries from work but that's another story)

I went back to work part time about 6 months ago and only work one evening a week and every other Saturday all day. Now don't get me wrong we don't have the tidiest of houses in the world but AIBU to think OH could actually help me out on those few days I'm working to wash up and tidy up after DD? When I left the house this morning there were 2 dirty plates and nothing else on the kitchen work tops! Now EVERY available space is taken up with dirty cups, plates and baking trays! I know it will be me who does this in the morning as otherwise it won't get done and it'll start an argument as I'm now awake at stupid o'clock and feeling a bit like Cinderella only less glamorous!

How many threads have there been on MN like this? It must run into tens of thousands over the years and still women are living with/marrying men who do fuck all and to compound the problem you then go on to have children with these lazy arses and become their enablers by not insisting on a fair share of work.

Unless I missed something I don't recall a new pledge in the wedding ceremony to promise to take over being his mummy upon marriage. And to those complaining that their OH doesn't know how or doesn't do a task to your exacting standard which results in him doing nothing and you doing everything are being mugs.

Time for a serious chat OP - very best of luck
