[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I do my own laundry, fix my own meals (microwave something and fix vegetables), and pay half of the bills.  I also fix DC's breakfast every morning and get him dressed.  On the weekends, I usually spend half a day cleaning (I don't think DH knows where the toilet brush even lives), the place is in a constant state of clutter (none of it mine or DC's), repairs get completed after a few months, and none of the speech therapy ideas get done, but DC watches a lot of TV and spends a lot of time in a playpen.

DH gets groceries about 90% of the time, does the dishes, does his laundry and DC's, does the repairs around the house (eventually), and pays his half of the bills.  He also does almost all of the appointments (car repairs, post office, etc.).

I really want him to do more during the day, especially with DC, and would like him to do things without being asked 50 times.  I genuinely don't want to be a nag or put too an unfair amount on his plate, but I feel like he puts me in a position where I have no choice.  Asking nicely is just ignored.[/quote]
