My husband works long hours sometimes I think he stays at work for peace!
I work 35 hours and do 90%of housework, childcare, food shop cooking etc.
Whenever I comment on his lack of help he says he works longer hours than me. Just wondering how other couples share everything out.
AIBU to expect a bit of help ? It might not be so bad if he wasn’t over critical of Everything or the fact he has a major hissy fit in the morning if he doesn’t have socks in his drawer !

I’m a SAHM and I don’t do everything so it’s definitely not okay that you’re expected to on top of working!! Childcare is obviously my job when my partner is at work but when he’s home we’re both involved. I do the meal planning (he’ll pick some meals he wants to make if he’s not working) but we go food shopping together. I cook and was up if he’s working but when he’s off he will often cook and we take it turns washing up. Laundry is my job. Bins is his job. Everything else just gets done as and when by either of us.

Where do these little princes come from?

If he were my DH he'd be wearing the sock drawer not the socks with that attitude

I'd withdraw my labour as far as he was concerned until he woke up
