Meet Muggins 2006, I'm soooooooooooo angry

I am soooooooooooooo annoyed, the house is a tip at the minute, dh doesn't go back to work until saturday, but has not doing ANYTHING, I have a close friend coming to stay next week for a few days and obviously want things spotless, i have asked him to help (its his mess as well) and all he has done is sit on his ring piece.

I have a migraine and went to bed for a couple of hours earlier, asking him to empty the dishwasher and put some washing in the tumbler and some more washing in, when I came down he has done NOTHING, he couldn't even be bothered to get the kids teas ready cos he was playing a game on the computer.

When he is working, he does 48hours in 4 days and then has 6 days off, but on the days off he does NOTHING unless I really nag him which I don't want to do. Whilst he is working he does even less, which takes some doing, he takes his clothes off leaves them on the floor, and leaves a trail of clothes, wet towels on the bathroom floor (You get the picture) i just want a bit of help, i am thinking of asking him to take dd2 with him when he goes into town tomorrow, so that I can really crack on (she is not too good at min, full of cold and upset about school and is always wanting cuddles which i can't resist) but I know that he will say that he can't cope with her and shopping, what he really means is he can't go to the pub or to the bookies, I am so at the minute, i'm going to put some more washing in, empty and fill the dishwasher again, go have a hot bath and get into bed and read a book.

You need to sit him down and sort him out

hi radley,i know its frustrating when this happens my dh can also be lazy at times and his excuse (he works) full-time which i appreciate,however i told him other dads work ft and can still manage to help out and it seemed to have worked.Dont get me wrong i dont expect him to do everything but a little help now and again doesn't hurt either.I sometimes think men think we have it bloody easy dont they? anyway you enjoy your bath and book and just chill....
