Myself and my 17 month old son have tested positive for Covid and so has his dad. Think he caught it from his grandparents on his dads side.
My 9 year old son and 9 week old baby came back with a negative result luckily.
So we are isolating and children’s dad came to isolate here so he could help out (I didn’t ask him to) but, I thought you know it will probably make things a lot easier.
Well I was very wrong, I’m so p*ed off tbh, he doesn’t ever help with the baby which ok I prefer to do it anyway but, he had our 1 year old downstairs this morning so I could have an extra hour in bed with baby. Came upstairs afterwards and told me I could get up now so he could play on his PlayStation in my bedroom.
He Was on the PlayStation for 6 hours whilst I juggled the kids downstairs and when I mentioned that he could be helping more I got verbal abuse.
Because I don’t work I’m a bum, I am lazy and only feed and dress the kids. I’m lazy because, I cherish some extra time in bed as I have been doing everything as a single parent.
I guess I’m just venting but, I am feeling really down and isolated being cooped up in the house and to add to it I am being made to feel like crap by because I expect the kids dad to help out more. He doesn’t spend much time with the kids usually because he works so why shouldn’t he spend the time he can with them whilst he’s isolating?
Or is he right in saying I should do it all because, I am the mother?
