[quote=Anonymous]I'm so fed up with my DH.  He is generally very unhelpful around the house, even though I work much longer hours than him, but I try to just deal because I don't want to rip apart our family.

His family is coming to visit tonight (they live out of town).  This morning, I dropped off DS to daycare a little early and came back to the house to clean before they get here and before I went in to work.  For some reason he woke up early and woke up while I was cleaning.  He said he was horny and wanted to have sex before I left for work.  I told him that I was really uncomfortable (I'm pregnant and due next week, and constantly feel like my bladder is being squeezed in a vice) and I really wanted to clean up before his family got here tonight.  He told me to write down everything that needed cleaned, and he would do it before he left for work, if I would give him a BJ and have sex.  I did.  I just got home from work and he did zero.  What needed to be done was clean up the gross kitchen, get the dirty dishes out of the sink and counter and into the dishwasher, clean the guest bathroom, and clean up the puddle of urine on the floor that the dog apparently did while I was taking DS to daycare.  For crap's sake, he didn't even clean up the freaking puddle of urine.

His family are due to be here shortly, and I am teetering between trying to get things cleaned up, and just keeping sitting here on the couch and saying F it.

He normally gets home before me, but today he texted to say he was taking DS out to a store after he picks him up from daycare, so he would be home late.

Should I just let it go and downgrade my standards of having a clean house in order to keep our family together? I resent him so much for crap like this, but I want to do what's best for DS and his soon to be sibling (which was not planned, I got PG with an IUD in).
