Fed up with being the house drudge

...Just fed up really.
I used to have a professional job / social life.
Now my partner works away 2-3 days a week and doesn't lift a finger when he gets home.
He travels, meets interesting / creative people and is paid to have ideas.
I do the washing / / housework / walk the dog / look after hens and fish and do ALL the school and nursery runs.
On the evenings when he is here he seems to think it's still his divine right to go to the pub (sometimes twice an evening).
I just feel more and more grumpy.

Hire a cleaner to give yourself some free time.
Make sure you get a hobby so he isn't the only one who gets to leave the house to have fun.

Crikey, you need to have strong words if he thinks he can go to the pub twice in one evening and you never get out! How old are your kids? Any possibility of you getting a part time job and getting some help in so you don’t have to do as much about the house? I imagine it’s doing ALL of it that’s getting you down, so if you can have some variety that might help. I love my 3 days at work!

Sounds like my life and I'm also grumpy all the time. My husband says I'm absolutely miserable I guess I don't disagree but my whole life is in this stupid house. So sick of it

How old are the children? Have you spoken to your husband about how you feel? Hire a cleaner if you can to help you out and do something just for you. I go to gym twice a week-the only thing I do for myself these days due to having a young baby at home. Husband wasn't too pleased as he's got to look after little one whilst I'm gone but I've told him if he wants me sane he hasn't got a choice. Otherwise your risking depression, resenting your husband and life in general

Does he not care that he is alienating you by treating you like a servant? Doesn't he notice that you are miserable and upset?
