[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel exactly like you OP.  My DH helps with barely anything, despite him only working part time as opposed to me working full time with an hour commute each way.

My day to day currently goes like this:

Get up at 5:30am to walk the dog, then when I get back, feed our 4 month old.  Spend 30 minutes cleaning the dishes/kitchen, and preparing daycare bags and lunch for the baby and my 4 year old.  6:30 am take a shower and get ready.  7am get 4 year old out of bed, dressed, teeth brushed and ready to go, and get baby dressed and ready to go.  Make a cup of coffie for DH.  At 7:30, go wake DH up.  When he gets dressed and comes out, I have the baby in his carrier on the floor with our 4 year old with his coat on and his school bag, and baby's school bag and DH's coffee waiting on the table.  DH takes the kids to school (which is a 5 minute drive) and then he comes back and goes back to sleep.  When we had the baby, I told him I really needed help in the mornigs - previously he just slept in until 10 and I dropped DS off at school on my way in to work.  Taking them to school for me is the only thing he would agree to help with.

7:45am leave for work.  6:30-6:45pm arrive home from work.  Make dinner.  Give kids baths if there is time.  Play time and 1 30 minute tv show for 4 yo while I give baby his bottle.  Put kids to bed at 9pm (DH will do this about 20% of the time).  Clean kitchen up some, do laundry, other various cleaning, etc.

All the while, DH is sitting on the couch using his Fn laptop....then has the nerve to ask me to bring him drinks.

Go to sleep around 11pm.  Get up at 1:30 am to feed the baby (he's like clockwork, always wakes up at 1:30).  DH will not do any overnight childcare.  Try to get back to sleep to get in another couple hours of sleep hopefully, but it's hard because once I'm up it's really hard to fall back to sleep again.

Get back up at 5:30am.  REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT

I'm so exhausted, yet DH thinks I should be grateful that he takes out the trash, takes the kids to school and picks them up, and takes out the trash and recycling.

Sometimes I just feel like dying.  That is all.[/quote]

oh my - I am the one who posted just above you - are we married to the same damn man on his f-ing sofa with a laptop?[/quote]

PP here, yes, sometimes I just want to pick that damn laptop up and smash it over his head.  He also sits there with his phone right beside him, texting constantly.  We have a leather couch and he has "his spot" where he sits all the time.  The leather is actually worn out in that spot and all ragged, thin and starting to get a tear in it.  The rest of our couch is nice looking.

To the other PP - I make his coffee because if I don't he gets really mad and combative.  There has been a few times where I just forgot it in the morning rush and it wasn't pretty.  I just do it to keep the peace.

Yes, I'm up at 3:26.  Tonight is another night where I only get about 2 hours of sleep aparently.  The baby must be having a growth spurt, and has been up constantly wanting fed instead of just his 1:30am waking.  I'm going back to bed, hopefuly I can get in a bit more sleep before 5:30.  [/quote]
