OK so DP thinks we have things fairly even!!!!!1 GRRRRR

[julezboo]

He just emailed me to ask we we just chillout tonight seen as its friday.

I told him yes pretty much, all that needs doing is the hoovering and getting things ready for our trip tomorrow.!!
He got all moody and said fine I'll help but then Im chilling out.

So i basically told him thats all he done all week is chillout on the PC/xbox. Turned into a row.
I have asked him a few times this week to help me make the babys bottles up of a night and the packed lunches, I do them everynight usually, I dont mind but this week has been tough with the baby teething and crying pretty much all day. Which also means the house hasnt had any housework done all week!! The first week in ages.

Basically he works 9-5 mon to fri, every now n then he will do the dishes (once this week) or cook tea (twice this week. Thats it!!! He doesnt even rinse his bloody hairs out the bath when hes finished it. But he thinks we have things fairly even...

I do
take him to work
take ds to school
most of the feeds with baby
washing
drying
putting away
dinner most nights
packed lunches
tidying up daily
bins out
empty the bin
hoover
polish
wash the bottles
make the bottles up
pick up after them all
pick ds up from school
pick him up from work
do all the running round paying bills, phonecalls, solicitors etc
arrange for work to be done on the house!

He pretty much comes home from work at half 5, has his tea, then buggers off upstairs to pc or xbox. Sometimes he will take baby, most often though i end up downstairs on my own, doing all of the above whilst trying to look after baby! Yes he goes out to work but surely his kids are his responsibilty too

Sorry its long, dont really need a reply just sooo peed off with his comment grrr

am for you

wish I was nearer so I could make you a cuppa with a slab of cake and take the baby off your hands for a while so you could have some time to yourself and then we could think up ways of kicking his arse into gear

do that thing where you add up your time etc as if you were paying someone else to do it ie when you clean write down how lonag and what charge. Then get him to see how much you do. Or down tools for a few days and do the basics for you and dcs. he will soon realise.

Answer

next weekend, sit your arse down at the x box, and tell him it's your day off. XY and Z has to be done, and you will do the same the next day.

Leave him to it all day.

Go friggin nuts if he leaves you a tip to deal with.

Ask him why he thinks your job is easier for you than it is for him.

sorry that wasnt v sympathetic, meant to say he sounds like an arse aswell. Hhis kids are his responsibilty too.

for you
