Husband never gets up with kids in the morning

Anonymous
I’m exhausted… I get up everyday at 5am for work, he doesn’t wake up till 7:15am. On the weekends he NEVER gets up with the kids who are usually up around 6:30-7am. Today he didn’t get up till 10am. I’m so exhausted I could cry. I’m also the one to take them to all of their activities while he sits at home. He doesn’t cook, doesn’t grocery shop, doesn’t empty the dishwasher, doesn’t empty the trash. I could go on… I feel sick I’m so run down and exhausted. I’m just at my wits end and don’t know what to do as he just doesn’t seem to care at all.

Been there. Now I'm divorced. He has the kids this weekend. I'm not out of bed yet.

Divorce and he will have them 50% of the time. I'm not kidding.

Book a weekend retreat in a hotel for next weekend. Take some time to think things over.

What kind of talks with him have you had? Find a way to make sure he gets up on weekends-he has to set an alarm, have the kids wake him, whatever-and if he's really not listening I would do couples counseling or you really will end up divorced.

What happened after the first kid? What if you didnt shop or cook for him? Its pretty drastic but may send a message.

It needs to be "you do x y z on mom, tues wed". Heres the grocery list and go get it pleaser. Take. A to soccer at 10 am on sat. Hes a full member of hour family. So gets to do stuff for family.

I'd go to a counselor. You need a neutral third party to embarrass him into making an effort to behave like a grownup and a partner rather than a spoiled man child.

And he probably wonders why you don't want to have sex with him anymore.
