my partner works hard he really does he’s the most hard working person i know which i appreciate however when he’s at home he doesn’t help with much at all. I also work and yet take care of everything in our home. i do the cooking cleaning washing bathrooms taking care of the kids and the dog while he doesn’t contribute to much. we had a heated convo the other day after i broke down and said i was struggling and needed a bit of support with things inside the home and he agreed he would make more effort but has since gone back to doing nothing. I’m feeling irritated by things he does he leaves the oven on despite his food being cooked, he will leave the microwave running after taking his food out, he leaves the bath running and floods the house. i’m at my wits end. I feel like i shouldn’t moan about these things because he works hard and contributes financially more than i do although i pay my share of things but he pays for things more. Im struggling to cope at the moment from the mental load of everything and am tired of feeling like hes a lodger in my home when thats not the case

I genuinely didn't know this was a thing until today, but I stand informed.

He floods the bathroom? What is wrong with him?

What he's doing sounds dangerous, you shouldn't run the microwave when its empty, or flood the house. That's gone way beyond not picking up his own socks.
Is he doing those things to punish you?

I’m also wondering why the children are not tidying up.

Has this been on your mind for the 6 months since the original post?

Maybe they're both under 3. Who knows?
