I don’t really know where to begin so apologies if this seems a bit jumbled.
partner and I have a toddler together, he’s self employed, I’m a stay at home mum as we don’t yet get funded hours and our village preschool won’t take her until she’s 3 anyway, don’t want to put her into another nursery as she will be going after summer anyway. love being at home with LO but as we all know toddlers are draining emotionally and physically. I think I cope really well at home with her and keeping the house clean and tidy. sometimes it’s 6 days in a row where OH works 8-6pm which is quite long with no family nearby, he does however always cook dinner for us but that is ALL he does other than go to work. I’d like to add I’m also an unpaid member of staff - I do all the social media messages with clients (how we get 99% of our work) and appointment bookings.
I’ve put up with it for a while now but it’s come to heads lots over the past month and the explosive arguments seem more frequent and we both say things we probably don’t mean. I have called him useless quite a few times now which I know is nasty but it feels like he is other than earning money he does barely anything. I’m at my wits end . We are due to get married next year and I love him but I just think fuck me, is it too much to get off your arse out of bed in the mornings feed the dogs, make our child’s breakfast? Just do something before you leave rather than me doing it ALL!! For example he only wakes up 5-10 minutes before he needs to leave each day so I have to do everything. When he can put Facebook down he is a wonderful dad and partner just sick of having to nag him to do stuff.
Not sure what I’m looking for here. Just needed to vent.
