How useless is your partner.....

[areyougonnago]

know I'm off to a bad start here but I need some perspective.
Am I being unreasonable to think that people should have a certain Level of usefulness ... if they lack in one way they make up for it somewhere else?
As a partner If you're a DIY enthusiast but can't cook for sugar- fine.
If you have some free time, maybe clean the car or do some painting/decluttering?

I painted the kitchen last year... but there's a small corner I can't reach. I asked when it will be done and they said... if you get the paint out I'll do it. So why is it my responsibility to decide when it should be done and get the bastard paint out. If that was the issue- why didn't they say. Leave the paint out and I'll do it ( shortly after I'd done the whole room)
Today I've come home to the kids treats all gone. Which is of course what they wanted for pudding- whinging ensues.
A pot plat balanced on a ledge- probably just as a reminder they got the flash mop out for the floor. **
The towels and clothes folded in the most ridiculous haphazard way so they might as well not have been tumbled.
All the other stuff I do. Holiday soon, I've sorted. MOT- me. Bits and bobs of DIY just abandoned, I did the loo seats but should I do the own bulbs too?
I'm just fed up that unless
I do it,it doesn't get done.
There's no money to get people in to do the jobs otherwise maybe that would be a sacrifice.
Am I being demanding or should I expect more?

If you're on here slagging off your partners, you need to be getting off here, going outside, touching grass for a bit and then having an honest and difficult talk with your partners.

Reality is nobody forced you to have a child with them. Contraception and abortion are free-at-point-of-use in the UK. If they were useless, what did you expect? Having a child would make them grow up? More idiot you if so.

Mine is awesome :) It's a bit rubbish when he goes away for work and leaves me feeling a bit crap.But he's competent, stable, sensible, and more importantly, willing to try anything. If he doesn't know he doesn't throw a wobbler or decide to spooge away cash on getting it done (with exception of anything serious electrics related). He is willing to try it himself, as am I.

OP, get some couples therapy

Some of the comments on this thread are truly awful, in that useless bastard men are getting away with this. Please don't raise your children to think this is normal.

In all seriousness, what is wrong with you?

I share my life with a fully functioning adult man: if he wasn't, I would have been gone a long time ago.

Do you not value yourselves at all that you would do something about your situation rather than whining on the Internet?

He offers to help with the kids such as dressing them and bathing them and such but he never does it quite right?? So I always end up doing the task anyway. He tries though bless him
