Dh and I both work full time. I have one full time job, dh has two part time jobs. The house is a mess, laundry is behind, meals have degenerated into fair crap. Dh does nothing around the house, ever. When dd was little I worked and he stayed home, he did nothing then either. I would come home from work and he would ask me "what's for dinner?". How would I know, I've been away all day while you've been here with the kitchen! Now that he is working, he feels justified that he should not have to do anything. Last week when I came home after work and dh left for work dd told me "daddysaid we'd better clean up and not sit around"
excuse me? Am I mistaken, or does an adult husband have as much responsibility for homekeeping as a wife does? I want to scream. I know that my housekeeping is crap, but really should it all be on me?

Is it really every bit my responsibility?
