to make DP do his own ironing?

[memoo]

I am 6 months pregnant and due to start maternity in 4 weeks but due to other health problems I have been signed off work until my maternity starts. So basically I am a SAHM at the moment.

I have 2 other children and we have DP's children here half the week as well so a lot of the time there are 4 DC running around making mess.

Now DP is very good but works long hours and so I do 100% of the housework, laundry etc.

The only thing I make DP do is iron his own shirts and trousers for work. Now I'm not working he seems to be getting a bit huffy about it.

He spends 3 hours every night on his bum watching tele so why he can't iron his shirts during this time I'll never know. I have suggested this to him but instead he insists on ironing a shirt in the morning when it is already chaos anyway, he crashes about and huffs and puffs as he is doing it.

So now I am starting to feel guilty, am I being unreasonable?

memoo - I am left shocked and bemused.

Your DH knows how to iron, he has done it before, he is sitting in front of TV for 3 hours. He should be doing ALL the ironing given your condition!

I like doing mine on Sunday night while watching old episodes of Top Gear on Dave.

Three hours an evening on his arse watching tv??

Lazy fucker.

I happen to quite enjoy ironing but am happy to iron for dh precisely because he does not sit on his arse.
