AIBU to think this is unfair

I’m new to MN so please bear with me.. I quit my job about 6 months ago with my husbands blessing because of some bullying issues at work. I have 2 young teens. My husband earns very good money so finances are not an issue.

Anyway, I have finally decided after some time off that I’m going back to study. My husband is wonderful in every other way except that since I finished work and to a lesser degree before (I worked part time) he does not lift a finger to help at home. I didn’t really mind at first because I’m not working, but I am starting to get annoyed. He comes home from work and I take care of everything. He has been on leave and I have been unwell, but I am still expected to run around after him and the kids and he does absolutely nothing even when he’s off for a few weeks.

AIBU to expect even a genuine offer of help once in a while or should I just be grateful that he’s providing me with a comfortable life and keep my mouth shut! Thanks in advance.

But op you have teens not young toddlers. Why do you need to be running around after them. And given that you have the entire school day with them not around why cant you get what needs to be done then? You will still have plenty of time to study. I do think when you are sick he should help out more.
