Having issues with DH

4 replies

I am off on my maternity leave for last 13 months, joining work back on Friday. For last 6 months or so my DH has been moaning almost every other day about the mess in the house. My house is reasonably clean, all the rooms we use are tidy except the 2 guest rooms which were cluttered with random stuff. I do all the cooking, cleaning, ironing in the house. DH helps with putting the washing on and helps do the dishes.

AIBU for getting annoyed over his moaning? I try to tidy rooms as I get time, but been feeling like he thinks it is only my responsibility to tidy them and when I say that "why don't u tidy them", he says "it is all your mess". He comes home and would say what have u been doing all day etc etc. I have just been feeling that since I am home, he just expects me to be on the go all the time. Other day he said to me, I can watch TV as long as I am watching it while ironing Angry.

Has anyone else been in similar situation and how have you resolved it. Thanks.

No, because I didn’t marry a total chauvinist.

What was he like before you had a baby?

Hey, He wasn't half as bad as this then. I generally always had a room a bit cluttered with laundry etc, he would complain then and but no as much. I think he gets this from his mum, she keeps her house like a museum, but she never worked. I also think the problem is the thinking that since I am home, housework is my responsibility.

He's not your boss!

You're not on maternity leave to clean the house! Your full time job is raising your child.
