How much does your OH do in the house and with the kids?

I have name changed for this.
My oh is self employed and works at home( sadly).
When we started to have kids we decided I would give up teaching and be a SAHM and he would earn the money.
I have a feeling though that he is not pulling his weight re the kids and never has done really.
He says he does stuff with them but he doesn't, he just doesn't and I find it very tiring.
Those of you who are SAHM in particular can you tell me what your OH's do in the house and with the kids?

Perhaps I am expecting too much or perhaps he is, as I suspect, a slacker

Thanks Smile

I do housework but have a cleaner once a week. He will empty dishwasher if asked and push Hoover around if asked. He does all the cooking, for us and for the boys (2). He does swimming lessons and football on saturdays with them, and we go for walks and cinema and meals as a family, and hold (was going to say obviously....). He will also do bathtime, and we do a story each before bedtime.... Pretty good on reflection.
