To expect my DH to do more around the house!?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

This is a typical example of what I do and what DH does...

Today I have:

-fed DS breakfast
-dressed DS
-taken DS for long walk
-bought the papers etc from the shop
-fed DS lunch
-raked up the garden leaves
-hoovered
-gone for another walk (with DH & DS)
-put a washing on
-put washing in dryer
-hung up some washing on radiators
-fed DS dinner
-bathed DS
-washed dishes

Today DH has:

-come for a walk with me and DS
-done a few hours work in the kitchen (ie his job)
-cooked dinner

I asked him to wash the dishes after dinner while I bathed DS but he said 'no I'm too tired'! Fair enough he does all the cooking and usually goes to the local shop every day but I do EVERYTHING else. I change all DS's nappies and have bathed him myself from day 1. If I ask DH to do something I get the usual 'you're nagging' line. He can't understand that I have to 'nag' cos he does bugger all! (oh and I get the 'but I cook all the time' line too)

DH does the cooking and DS usually has what we have if suitable. DH refuses to change nappies unless I'm not physically there! I've asked DH if he wants to bathe DS, he says no although he sometimes comes and sits on the loo to be part of the 'bathing experience'. He used to bathe with DS too until DS kept pooing in the bath LOL.

I'm just getting fed up, we have had lots of arguments about this before but nothing ever changes!

haha- you think you've got it bad.... my DH doesn't even do the cooking, rarely helps with bathtime, will only wash the pots if i moan and moan when he's in there and they need doing... and wouldn't have done a few hrs in the kitchen either!!

today my DH has been off work and he:
stayed in bed for an hour while i got the DC's up, dressed and fed.
led on the sofa all morning while i played with the DC's.
Still led on the sofa while i got the DC's and myself ready to go to tesco.
Took us to tesco and moaned about everything i bought!!
We went to his DF's pub for a carvery lunch as i'm feeling sicky around cooking smells but fancied a roast so he drove us there.
Then he's led on the sofa all afternoon playing on his Nintendo DS or sleeping saying he's got a headache.
I bathed and put both DC's to bed....
And to top it all off i'm 4mths PG and suffering from Hyperemesis!!

When i stressed at him this morning for lying on the sofa watching me cope with the kids his reply was his usual 'you only need to ask'.... my point is he does it every day off, i stress at him every day off, when will he learn that i shouldn't need to ask!!!

Though DH obviously has his good points, its just not around the house!!

Ladies, you need to go on a silent strike! Stop doing any household chores for DH, like washing, ironing etc. My DH learnt how to work the washing machine when I stopped washing his clothes!
