I was working in the office today. Husband looking after our three small children at home. I said to him before I left this morning "please do some jobs in the house, every room needs tidying and cleaning". I'm fully aware that it's hard to achieve things with the kids in the house but I at least expected him to have pushed the hoover around or done some tidying or wiped the kitchen sides. I've come home and it's in exactly the same state as I left it this morning. I'm just sick of it. When I am at home with the kids I do jobs in the house in between looking after them or will stick them in front of the telly so that I can get things done. I work 3 days a week and he works full time which is normally how I justify the fact there is an imbalance. But I'm working today and he's not...so what's bus excuse today?! I know if I raise it he will get defensive and say he was looking after the kids so had no time.
