OH and me have been together for 7 years, have a 3 month old and both sleep deprived so a little tetchy with each other at the moment. I feel he's not pulling his weight but I always get told how lucky I am to have him so AIBU? Here's just a snippet of what's getting on my nerves.
- he's always 'half a job' I.e. he'll put a wash on but 'forgets' to hang it out unless I ask or starts washing the babies bottles but doesn't get round to putting them in the steriliser - this is the same for any job he starts, I end up finishing them
- doesn't cook unless it involves a bbq
- will pass the baby to me when the baby is being too 'difficult' - basically when crying
- when he does the night feed he sleeps through the baby being unsettled so I end up being awake half the night anyway
- never cleans the bathroom or kitchen ever - his only main job is hoovering and mopping, even then I have to remind him to do that
- leaves shoes everywhere - I tripped over once with babe in arms in the dead of night because he'd just left his work boots strewn
- drops his rubbish where he sits and never picks it up such as chocolate wrappers, coke cans etc
- actually just generally throws everything on the floor and leaves it there like his manky dirty work clothes
- thinks when the baby is asleep and he's in charge that playing his games console is a priority over everything else
They all seem pretty petty in the cold light of day. I'm also giving the cons, there are definite pros or else he'd be out the door...I'm just pissed off and don't feel generous enough to vocalise them 😬
