To get so frustrated at lazy DP

Need to vent and for people to tell me if this is normal!!!

I go to my parents for 6 hours today with DS. Get back and all DP has done is play video games, read, eat, hang laundry out tbf, and leave breadcrumbs all over my pillow. For context he has exams coming up and he lied and said he has been revising.

So sick of his laziness and entitled attitude that he seems to have no urgency to study and get a job whilst I'm always rushing around doing errands with DS in tow

I'd be annoyed too, why isn't he prepared to pull his finger out and get himself more motivated, he has a son to provide for. How old is he and what sort of exams is he taking? I suppose it's positive that he's got this far.. but it still wouldn't be enough for me.

Whilst you're out at work, does he have your son during the day? If not, he should be studying and doing the housework. It's not right that you're working to support him whilst he's sat around doing nothing.

I'm afraid I'm also studying but reliant on PILs to take DS as I seem to be default parent. But so keen to get a job as soon as I graduate, especially as I worry about relying on DP to be the breadwinner if he has no get up and go

Also got to add, big pile of washing up left all day as if it was going to magic itself away
