I have a problem in that I feel I am pulling the weight of 2 people in my family. I have ds aged 3 and am pregnant. I work 3-4 days a week. Ds is in nursery or with dp when I work. However I also end up doing 95% of domestic stuff. Dp doesn't work having
recently taken voluntary redundancy and bought a yacht! He has way more leisure time than me and I am feeling incredibly resentful. Howdo I get him to change. I don't want to ltb Jesuits

The problem with a strike is the filth doesn't bother him. And I love ds too much to let him live in filth and not have regular meals cooked. Catch 22!

How about you test how much he loves DS and you, then?

Because he wouldn't make that association between tidy house and love.

On a positive he had ds all day yesterday while I worked then went for a night out with the girls. Needed that!
