He can't take the kids for longer than a few hours. All he wants to do is be on his computer. I am going to lose it. OMFG. He is such a whiner! Sorry for the vent. |

Next Saturday, get up early, write a note ("running errands"), leave the house, and refuse to answer your cell phone. |

| I understand. My dh is pouting in the bedroom all day. |

I had the flu last week, he was traveling for business, I took care of baby by myself. Now he's back. Sunday he starts feeling sick. I swear to god I thought I would strangle him. My toddler does not whine as much about feeling sick, burning up, so tired.... He's carrying on as if he has the world's heaviest burden, going up the steepest mountain.

OP, are we polygamists and I didn't know? You just described my husband (although he has gotten somewhat better, since when he whines he gets as much sympathy from me as I give my kids - none).
I understand being very ill. Flu, food poisoning, the bad allergies every year, I am sympathetic to those. But being "tired" when I got up at 6 (kid woke up) and he got up at 9:30? No way. |

OP are you a SAHM? Does he work long hours and need time to decompress? Does he know / understand / respect the childcare routine? Is this a one time situation or common? Have you talked to him about how you feel? I ask because there's a lot not said in your post about how you handle childcare together. |

DH here. Men try to get away with as much as they can. We feign tiredness, incompetence etc. But if you force us to do it we generally will.
I second the idea of just leaving the house, leaving a note, and turning cell phone off. That is the only way to do it with some men. But many of you won't, because you secretly love being the one who is essential, or because you really don't trust your husband (in which case at least one of you is an asshole)... |

Not behavior that inspires trust... I wouldn't do this because I think a conscious hand-off of responsibility is a good idea. |

| Yours and many other women's husbands too. I wouldn't just leave (not for his sake but the kids') but do get ready quietly, make sure there's food available for the kids and as soon as he's up tell him you're going out and ignore any of his protests. I have a 17 month old son and since he was born I've woken up with baby 90% of the nights, all night. After such a night, DH would have uninterrupted sleep then on weekends he'd continue to sleep until late morning then in mid afternoon he'd say he's tired and is going to take a nap, while I had interrupted sleep all night then up for the rest of the day by 7am, every single weekend. WTF?!!! |

There's nothing "D" about an H like you... I'm pretty sure I can guess who the asshole is in your relationship. |
