Was I unfair to tell DH he is being lazy?

DH has a varied shift pattern which means he often has mid week days off when DD is at school. Even when he has to work a weekend they only do half shifts. So not difficult hours at all. He has also just had 2 weeks off while I've still been at work. Am I unreasonable to have had a go at him that none of the big house jobs have been done in this time? He uses his free days to do whatever he likes and I think it's really selfish! Of course making time for yourself is important, but he has such a luxury regularly being off with no childcare responsibilities. It feels like he just doesn't prioritise important things that need doing. We have this conversation all the time and nothing changes.

YANBU - Tell him he has to pay for a cleaner or pitch in! Cheeky fuck.

He doesn't see himself as part of a team or family. He doesn't accept any responsibility but expects to live like a single man but with a woman around to cook, clean and have sex with.

I couldn't live with a man like that for very long. Nothing has changed after previous discussions, nothing will change. As far as he's concerned his life is just dandy. Why would he change it?

Why would this be unfair of you? In what way?
