What's the situation, are you normally a SAHM while he works? Is he trying to work from home?

Sexnotgender · 21/03/2020 13:03

Why don’t you want to kill him? He sounds shit and useless.

Do you need an alibi?

putthechocolatedown · 21/03/2020 13:10

I'm self employed so just work when I get bookings but mostly I am a SAHM. I honestly cannot cope with him being at home all day his moaning doesn't end. He wants to wake up every morning to a show home.

I've barely slept DD woke up screaming at 4 then DS at half 5.

@Sexnotgender yes alibi please Grin

Tell him to shut the F up or go do his isolation somewhere else. Seriously. You’re dealing with sick kids and a lockdown. Why isn’t he cleaning? Is he the king of England? Don’t put up with this. Even friends of mine with crap normally husbands are saying they are mucking in. What is he doing to help?

Sexnotgender · 21/03/2020 13:11

No problem, happy to provide one.

Seriously though tell him to wind his fucking neck in.

He wants a show home? Tell him where the hoover and polish is.

Bet he does sweet F all round the house?

Blanca87 · 21/03/2020 13:11

He needs to be doing his share. If he starts again down tools. Cheeky fucking twat that he is.

probablysue · 21/03/2020 13:12

Give him a list of chores he has to do. You’re not his slave!

roarfeckingroar · 21/03/2020 13:21

Why is he such a wanker? I don't think it's a fixable condition.

I was going to say for non-bellends, set up separate WFH desks and get out for a walk around the block as often as possible.

putthechocolatedown · 21/03/2020 13:22

I've just come up to bed now the kids have fell asleep I can hear hoovering 🤣

I wish we were a team and he just got stuck in but unfortunately not. His mum is a clean freak though and did everything for them and still does when we visit so I guess maybe he thinks all women are like his mum.

Well tell the lazy prick to tidy the fuck up then.

He does know you aren't his servant doesn't he? You sound like you are dutifully playing the role.

roarfeckingroar · 21/03/2020 13:46

Won't that wake them?

“His mum is a clean freak though and did everything for them and still does when we visit so I guess maybe he thinks all women are like his mum.”

His mum did his future partners no favours. Good luck with re-educating him. It’ll be better for you all in the long run, including your DCs’ future partners. Fortunately, if he’s hoovering, it sounds like the situation may be quite easily redeemable!

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:27

Mine's just had a strop with me about about potting compost and gone to bed.

category12 · 21/03/2020 14:51

Why isn't he doing any of this work he wants done?

category12 · 21/03/2020 14:53

It's no good blaming his mum - you're now complicit in this sexist bollocks.

RandomMess · 21/03/2020 14:59

I really don't understand why he is expecting you to do it all, WTf is he doing?

stophuggingme · 21/03/2020 15:03

His poorly children have fallen asleep and he’s hoovering?
He sounds really awful.

expatinspain · 21/03/2020 15:15

I usually do most of the cleaning as DP works more hours than me, but since we've been on lockdown he's been doing a load of deep cleaning and getting stuck into loads of jobs around the house. Tell your DP to stop being a twat and start pulling his weight rather than bitching about things not being done.

CookPassBabtridge · 21/03/2020 15:24

Sorry but he sounds awful. This isn't normal. Being together is about being a team, not attacking the other and making you feel like shit.

Mollypolly2610 · 22/03/2020 01:19

I have a patio! You can put him with mine tomorrow.

Gobbycop · 22/03/2020 02:28

You can't do everything at once it's a team effort.
I work 12hr shifts and still clean the house and do chores.

He needs to get his pinny on and man up.
