To ask for more help around the house!

[Purplerain1144]

I'm 33 weeks pregnant, 28y old my husband is 30y old. I work 36h a week and am struggling now with energy to do the chores around the house. I do all the washing, hoovering, clean bathroom, food shopping, washing dishes and most of the cooking. My husband will put the dishes away that I have washed the next day and cooks dinner probably 2 nights a week. We had a big row yesterday because I am fed up of it and don't think he realises how things are going to change when baby is here! Anyone else in similar situation?

How long has he been like this and why do you think he's going to change now?

You've absolutely got to redraw the lines now, before you even get to mat leave. Never mind how you slipped into this situation, it needs to end now. I would agree with dividing up a list of tasks, but also make some immediate changes. I have never ever done my partner's washing or ironing, and it's always been a rule that whoever cooks, the other washes up. That same evening. The non-daily stuff like food shopping, cleaning rooms etc you can divide up.

The most important thing is to get him to acknowledge the current situation is unfair and needs to change. If he can't accept that, that's your biggest problem.

Thank you for the responses I know it's been a long time coming. I think writing down everything I do weekly and dividing 50% is a good idea
