He is really fucking me off

He won;t help me do things tound the house.

This is a man who won;t evenm close cupboards in the kitchen

He left the house an absolute tip this morning (I go to work fisrt) depite the children being ready to go.

He left the breakfast things all over the kitchen. There is now porrige welded to the kitchen table

I return from work (after a 6 30 am start, having worked til midnight last nigh) at 12 30 to find the house a tip. He hasn't even bothered to put the boys' pjs in the washing basket, they are littred all over the floor

He will still expect me to have dinner ready for later, even though I have to drive to the next town to teach this evening

IU am, fucking exhausted. I spend all weeked cleaning and all week working. He does fuck all to help.

I hate moaning about him, but I feel ready to nburst.

I have had enouygh

The children are bearuing the brunt of it n- I do nothing but shout at them. I have just taken the TV away from them because I can't bear the arguing. I want rid of the fucking thing altogether - but his answers to all life's ill ism putting the idiot box on - he won;t tralk to me in the vening

I'm so fucking pissed off

I have talked to him about this so may times, but it never registers with him. He thinks his job is earning the money but I do as many hours as him. He forgets this.

I feel like walking out

So is he not usually this inconsiderate then? Does he usually tidy up and pull his weight around the house?

If this is just a temporary blip on his part then rant away!

He's never been one for housework - I have normally done the lion's share of it.

But now I do it all.

You are not blowing it out of proportion. It has annoyed and stressed you enough to post here and it is time he did help around the house. You help, why shouldn't he??

OverMyDeadBody · 14/03/2008 14:18

Agree with Nab, you're not blowing it out of proportion, but it must be even worse with so little sleep, I really sympathise with that, I do not do lack of sleep well.

SheikYerbouti · 14/03/2008 14:29

Thanks guys

I'm going to have to go and tidy up now as the boys have trshed the sitting room and I am fed up of telling them to stop climbing on the coffee table

You really need to talk to him about this because if you don't nothing will ever change and the current situation may become the norm. Despite the fact that you may be feeling worse because of lack of sleep you are not blowing it out of proportion - it has upset you enough to post on mn so it is more than just an over-reaction on your part imo.

Right then Walrus ... clearly you are overdue a bit of YIAm / Sheik time ... as indeed am I !!

So as discussed .... you DP and the boys up here soon ... we'll leave my DH and your DP in charge of our little darlings ( or the little darlings in charge ?? ) they can cook something nice (the DH/DP that is .. not the kids)... put the children to bed, natter about sports etc whilst we luxuriate in a watering hole not many yards distance from here ... come back have a wonderful dinner ... and then ... should the fancy take us ... wander out for another small (ish) libation !! ... weekend after Easter sound good to you ??
