[quote=Anonymous]My husband has been unemployed since June, goes to a lot of interviews but hasn't gotten 1 serious offer yet.  He does some freelance work and we're getting by with that but just not as comfortable.   In the mean time I have a long commute, dropping off and picking our kids from a family member's house (same general direction but adds on an hour round trip) and it makes logical sense that I do the pickup/drop off.   I have asked that he does more house chores now that he's home most of the day but he does not agree that cleaning bathroom/changing bed sheets/mop the floor need to be done weekly or dishes/empty trash bins need to be done daily.   The kids & I leave at 6:30 and we get home between 5-6 pm, the house is usually a mess while he's home all day (he's usually napping or watching TV).   Other things that's driving me insane: I asked him to hang a picture on the wall and the box of nails is still on the dining table for our toddlers (2-3 year olds) to play with.  He cut an apple for them and left a knife at the edge of the counter.  He doesn't take the initiative to interact with our kids unless I suggest it.

Last night after dinner he asked me to do the dishes since he did it on Tuesday and doesn't feel like doing it again.  So then I suggested that we split all the chores and pickup/drop off the kids equally which did not go well with him either (his argument is that none of these chores has to be done weekly).  We canceled housekeeping service to save money but even when we had someone cleaning the house for us every other week, I still did all these chores on the "off" week.   I'm just so fed up with having to live with a slob and all I could think about right now is to divorce him once he's employed again.[/quote]
