AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHH!!!!!

Seriously need to rant!

My boyfriend is so lazy! We live together and have a DS who's 3. He works full time (60+ hours a week) and I'm a SAHM.

The last few weeks we've been arguing because I keep asking him to pick up after himself. Not help me clean or cook. Just pick up after himself.
For example, not chucking your shoes anywhere you feel like when you come home. Or if you have a use snack, don't leave the fucking wrapper on the floor.
Or when you've had a use shower, don't fling your towel a used dirty underwear WHEREVER YOU LIKE. (Honestly he'll fling his wet towel over the door, over the sofa, on the floor...)

We had a serious talk yesterday about it because I'm at the end of my tether. I was shouting and crying and told him it's like I live with 2 toddlers and I can't cope with it much longer. I'm not asking to him to come home from work and scrub the bathroom until it shines. I just want him to be a fucking adult.

Anyway he left for work before me and DS got up this morning, I went downstairs and it's like I haven't mentioned a word about it to him.

His shoes are in the middle of the lounge, his wet towel is over the high chair, the ironing board is up with the iron still plugged in. He's made a mess in the kitchen, coffee beans and sugar everywhere.

AIBU to go up the wall??

He drives me insane.

You're a SAH MUM not a SAH skivvy

Just told my 50hr working week DH about this thread.

He said that's just "cuntish".

So another man's perspective.

I can't complain about that because I don't contribute financially and I feel guilty about that.

Well he doesn't contribute domestically. Do you think his conscience is weeping?

Picking up after yourself, throwing away your rubbish, putting your dirty clothes in the linen basket aren't domestic chores. They're personal responsibilities and general decency, as much as wiping your own arse.

I presume he behaves like that because you're a SAHM and he thinks he is entitled to have a service. Could you keep a photo diary of the mess?
