To have had enough of this

So, this morning my DH said the socks that I put out for my DS we’re a bit wet (yes I put their outfits out as I work on a Sunday), he said if he did it they would be ready and not wet, he doesn’t do it though, he wouldn’t even have any socks if it wasn’t for me.

He is so lazy and I am fed up of it. He has lay on the sofa most of this morning whilst I make the kids breakfasts etc. I know its Father’s Day but it is every bloody day!

just needed a moan

Why do you think he might change? 🥴

Why do you have to lay clothes out? Even if you work? Cant he pick clean clothes out of the draw? Does he manage to dress himself ?(your husband not son)

Well he's not going to change. So stop doing all the extra things. He is a parent he can get the clothes out etc. And if he moans, tell him that since he's incapable he should ask his mum to come over and do his share because you aren't going to.

And if he moans about sex? tell him how unsexy it is living with an incompetent whiny knob.

His mum used to do literally everything for him. I should have read the signs, stupid woman!

and then he says I am constantly moaning, which I am, I don’t like him!

But you're doing exactly the same. The only reason he does fuck all is because he knows he can get away with it.

Stop getting clothes out on your days off. He's a grown man who get sort his own children- if he's genuinely that lazy that he won't do basic care for his child then you need to have a think about why you're with him.

Sometimes I wonder if it is me. Everybody loves him and he is such a nice guy, can you be a really nice guy and be like this?

No (able bodied, NT) nice guy is unable to dress their children without a woman to help them.

Get him to do 50% of the parenting. That means not putting Sunday clothes out for DS, but letting your DH do it. Stop doing stuff that he should be doing. Let him step up.
