[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, that sounds really frustrating.  How old are the kids?  My DH is very good about stepping up, but what works best for us is clearly defined division of responsibilities.  So bath time is always his job, but weekend naps are always my job.  He does the laundry because he has an office in the basement anyways, but I am responsible for folding and putting it away.  That way your're not asking/nagging (which is how he may (wrongly) perceive it when he is resistant) and he has a clear sense of what his responsibilities are.

About leaving stuff around for you to pick up.  It's so annoying, but my DH does it too.  Leaves the diaper on the floor, sippy cups in random places, etc.  It's kind of a pick your battles situation for me, but my DH sounds like less of a complainer than yours.

If you can, why don't you go away for the weekend and leave them with him?  Maybe send a grandparent or aunt/uncle to help if three kids is too much.  But make him do it on his own when you aren't there to step in.[/quote]
