Am I just a little sleep deprived or is this unfair???

Please be honest, I can take a flaming if deserved

I'll try to be brief.... I have 3dc ranging from 11yo - 4months, plus a 5yo dsd who is with us 50/50. I do all of the cleaning, cooking and 90% of the pick ups (to and from school/childminders) make lunches, get all ready for school. Do the washing for all of us, dry and put away. All of this whilst entertaining a 4 month old who likes A LOT of attention!!

So, forward tonight and just before we head to bed, dp says, "can you make the bed every morning - there's nothing like getting into a freshly made bed of an evening..."

I just walked away muttering about how some people are ungrateful etc... But he seems to think I'm being completely unreasonable and that it isn't much to ask!

Am I being a slattern all of a sudden and thinking that making a fucking bed is the least of my worries?!

Please be honest so I can suck up my pride and apologise if I am....

Nikita - I am liking your grandma's style

Why did you walk of muttering? Why didn't you just tell him that he was being ridiculous at then time. Can you imagine how much washing this would generate.

^^ i like your grandmother. Smart woman- learned fast

Fresh sheets every single day ??!!

Fuck that shit!

Give him one of these and tell him to get on it

This is not very funny.

He doesn't think looking after 3/4 children including a tiny baby is exhausting demanding hard work?

I really hope you haven't scuppered your career for this lack of appreciation and devaluation.

I think he should start doing housework once home from work, like I do every single day (am on my own a lot), like most working mothers. That might include doing a full change if he values this so much.

This runs deeper than the sheets issue.
