To not make his tea or run his bath

[NameChangedBecauseIDid]

For over 6 months now i have been asking DP to help more around the house because he does literally NOTHING to help housework wise. He will help brush the kids teeth, bathe them and put them to bed though, he works fulltime, i dont, he thinks because he works and brings in money that it means he doesnt have to help with housework, he works 6-5

The only thing i ask for help with is if he will tidy the kitchen after tea, i doliterally everything housewise - 3 bed, dining room , front room, kitchen, 4 cats, 2 kids, - i dont think asking to do the pots is a mahor task compared to all other household tasks!

I gor upset last weekend and told him if he didnt help id stop doing things for him, he tidied the kitchen for 2 days ina row,

He Was too tired yesterday from the full sunday i made, despite all him doing was nipping to the shop and playing on his xbox!

Im not being unreasonable to stop doing things for him am i? Hes going to come home soon and hell be in a strop when he realises ive not ran him a bath and theres no tea in the oven for him,

What a shit post Felicity.

😂

When I was off work looking after the kids i was happy to run the house whilst he worked fr. However weekends were very much 50/50.

Heh a martyr and a be thankful you have a husband response all in one post. Bravo man

He's not doing housework because he is a typical bloke

That simple statement is why so many men get to shirk off the housework - no reason except that they have a penis.

@felicisNox You're talking out of your bottom.
Of course working men help with the household chores. Men who care about their family that is.
What decent man would sit on his behind and watch his wife become tired and struggling?
What on earth is your patronising, sanctimonious one upmanship all about? How does that help the OP?
As I said upthread, I have 11 kids, my husband worked full time, often away for long periods, yet when he came home he got stuck in with whatever needed doing to take the strain off me. I worked part time back then and was studying too.
He was hugely supportive of my studies as he knew it would benefit our future, so he would take the kids, all 11 of them out somewhere for a few hours, sometimes he would even load them up onto the moonbus and drive back to the UK to visit our families to give me a break.
That is a caring, sharing partner, not one who sits there like a male version of the Queen of Sheba being waited on hand and foot.
I'm surprised that you haven't encouraged the OP to hand feed him peeled grapes while massaging his tired feet!!

The penis is King apparently. Means they can't push a hoover about

felicity you ‘didn’t get a choice’ regarding conceiving all those kids, and were forced to wed, and parent some other dudes offspring? Have you reported it to the police? That’s awful.
Your gibbering drivel about ‘typical bloke’ is humiliating to yourself, and insulting to men who actually parent their offspring and function in their marriage and house.

So many appalling threads on here where women write about putting up with literally anything, being treated with utter contempt, just to have some cock. Any man is better than no man- disgustingly low bar to teach the kids what’s acceptable and normal. Ffs.

👍 @Electrical Well said that woman. 🍻

@GabsAlot 👍
Don't worry, she's married to a typical man who thinks Mr Muscle is a body building competition and fairly liquid is a drink for pixies.

@gamerchick that made me snort!

Stop the baths OP! He can run his own bloody bath.

Why do I have the feeling that if OP was the working parent and her DP was the SAHP, and DP drew OP’s bath every evening so it was ready for her when she got home after her ten-hour workday, he would be worshipped as a saint?

You aren't being unreasonable because you warned him and how you are following through with that warning.
He is taking the piss.
Stop being his mother and start being his partner. Xxx
