To think I've made my bed and now I have to lie in it?

Have two small DC. DH is very lazy with housework and the kids. None of the suggestions of 'stop doing his washing' or 'leave him with the kids and go out for the day' work. It just causes an argument and nothing changes. He's also rude and moans a lot, not all the time but enough to do my flipping head in. I've spoken to him many many times and he says he will change but doesn't.

I could leave obviously but I'd have to rent a small flat, rely on benefits and still have to do it all anyway. What's the point? At least he contributes a wage. He has such a good work ethic and my family all think he's god's gift to men, I never predicted he would be such a lazy father.

How depressing. Imagine the awful resentment that is going to build up over the years until you come to hate him. I have a career so I could dump my useless husband and not have to worry which I did.
I think its time to start training for something now so you can ditch him when the children are old enough.
