I am so angry with him that I can't speak.He has always done very little around the house & I do just about everything.I even do things like sweeping the chimney,tiling the kitchen,cleaning out the drains ect as well as all the housework.
I have told him in the past that he is bloody lucky to have a wife who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty,& that most women wouldn't do half the stuff I do but he laughs it off.If I persist he says that no,he doesn't do much stuff around the house,but when I earn x amount per year like he does,he will do more around the house!
He has just trotted out the same old story tonight & I am sick of it.I work outdoors in the cold & wet,hard physical work,then come home & run around like a blue arsed fly while he sits playing on his PSP.He tells me that he'd love to stay at home with the girls if I earnt enough,but doesn't seem to realise that I just don't stay at home,I run my own business & work damn hard as well as doing everything else.If we didn't need the money so much & it wasn't my business,I'd consider giving up work if my wages are so inconsequential.
I have been waiting for a company to deliver a fireplace so we can get on with decorating the living room & have spent 2 months chasing them about it.I asked him to make 1 phonecall,to his sister,who works for the company,to see if she could help sort it out,but no,he couldn't even manage that.
I am SO pissed off & feel belittled & patronised as well.How on earth can I get him to see what an idle so & so he really is? I am tempted to go on strike,but with a 3 year old & a 16 month old,it isn't a good idea.We wouldn't be able to walk across the floor for crap after a few hours.
I'm also tempted to sleep on the sofa tonight.
