DH not pulling his weight

Dh and I have been together for 11 years
10 year old dd and 11 month old ds.

Anyway...im not sure if im being petty or 'nagging' as he says, im very house proud and believe every one should muck in and do their bit - basically, just tidying up after themselves.

I clean all day long - i like our home clutter free!

Dh isn't working atm but is studying at college two days per week.
We have had multiple rows over me asking him to do the basics like make the bed if he's the last one up, or wash the dishes while im getting the children ready for bed etc...

I know theres more important things going on in the world but should i (a woman) be made to do everything?

His argument is he goes to college twice a week and im a moany old bossy cow.

I feel like his mum sometimes.
Any advice appreciated Smile

Your husband is useless. Why are you putting up with this shit?

Don't put up with it. He is being a lazy and entitled arsehole. You aren't his skivvy.

He should do his share of the basics and then discuss the rest.

Where there is a discrepancy in standards, with yours being higher, you should make those up.

As for Parenting, it doesn't matter if he is working full time, he doesn't get to opt out, so start to split bathtimes, bedtimes etc.

I knew these were the type of responses i was going to get.

I know your all right but just needed to hear it from an outsiders view!

Thanks ladies
