To not want to do all the housework at the weekend?

I'm signed off on long term sick at the moment. During the week I do all the dishes, general cleaning, hoovering, washing etc. At the weekend I'd like the split to be more 50:50. DP doesn't even help with the dishes though. I rushed out this morning to meet a friend and didn't have time to wash up after breakfast. I've just got back and he's barely moved all morning.

AIBU to think I shouldn't have to do all the housework at the weekend too?

Can you afford a cleaner

He should be doing half at the weekend. It's not fair for him to do nothing.

TulipsInBloom1 · 27/10/2018 12:48

How much did he do before you went off on sick?

Just don't do it now. Go out again and tell him to have all done.
Dh was like that when we first married and now I stand up for myself

YANBU - this drives me nuts as well. During the week I spend at least 2-3 hours a day on housework / gardening / pet care etc (I work part time) I went out this morning to get things for the kids Halloween event this afternoon (was out about 2 hours and took one of the two children with me) When I got back he was lying on the sofa watching a film - breakfast stuff still lying in the kitchen, dirty pyjamas on the floor, beds not made, pets not fed. He does sod all during the week which I'm willing to accept as he is working full time and I'm not but at the weekends the least I think we can expect is the basics!!

I have started TOMM, found out about it in her.
I’m 52 and have only just managed to get up every morning to a clean house.
Wish I had known about this in my 20s.
Hard at first but when you get in the routine life’s so much easier.

@TulipsInBloom1 it was far more even when we were both working.
