Hi there. I'm a 39 year old married dad with 2 kids, wanting some advice from any mums out there.
I work a 5 day week in London and try to help out at home as much as I can. My efforts to help clean the house are typically met with accusations of me bring lazy or 'never finishing anything properly'. She typically moans 5 or so times a day.
Example would be last Friday when I bought a nice supper in after she had a busy week. I also did her ironing and made a start on cleaning the house. She wouldn't eat the food because she said it was too late when she got back, then had a rant at me for not mopping the floors or doing any other cleaning. Last night I cleaned one of the bathrooms but she had a go because I had missed cleaning the bottom of the sink unit pedestal. She must have had a close look because it looked clean! The other night I finished a load of the ironing at about mid night, and left it on the kitchen table as I didn't want to wake the household by putting it away. The next morning she went ballistic because I hadn't put it away. I am starting to become very depressed and unhappy. Am I being over sensitive? I darent argue back or shout back because she then says I am Over reacting. I really don't know what to do. Is her behaviour normal??
