So I expect to do the lions share always have done. However I am extremely narked at having to do all childcare, cooking, cleaning, laundry etc at the moment and he doesn't offer to pick up a bit of slack at all. Husband is working from home so have to prepare lunches for him and kids as well.
On the weekend he was sick, full of a fever unable to do anything and had to stay in bed so I did everything then. No thanks for picking up the slack and Monday morning he has miraculously recovered to be well enough to work from home so unable to help with children. I was actually feeling quite unwell myself yesterday and at about 5pm could hardly stand and told him I needed a lie down and flopped on the bed only to hear him a few minutes later removing 3 year old from room to downstairs telling him he'd have to wait five minutes. 3 year old balling I had no choice but to go and see to him. In the end we(3 year old and I) distracted ourselves with a bit of fresh air in the garden which made me feel a bit better too.
Almost an hour later he comes down and in fairness he did offer to cook dinner (well it was defrosting and reheating something I'd previously cooked) but doesn't ask how I am and when I snap slightly and tell him dinner didn't really need cooking he just went and sat down on sofa with his phone.
You see the dinner thing - he'd class that as cooking and wouldn't do it for another couple of weeks because he works.
Today has not been much better.
Seriously having him home is worse than having the kids off until end of April. Absolutely ready to slap him with a wet fish.
It's not wrong of me to want a bit of appreciation is it? We have no real choice but for me not to work as no grandparents or family around to help with childcare, although at the moment I wish I was working.
