[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you pushed him to have more kids than he wanted, and you don’t work, and now you want him to share in parenting and you’re surprised he’s not into it?

OP here. No, having the amount of kids that we do was a joint decision. No one was forced into anything.

[b]Also, I don't understand how a parent, male or female, is excused from parenting duties, no matter their feelings? Guess I'm "old school" there..? 🤷🏼‍♀️[/b]

Lastly, I work my tail off (to put it lightly) to take care of all of our kids. Hardest f*****g job ever and no, I don't get paid but they doesn't take away from the fact that I *do* work, it just isn't outside the home, so it's always dismissed.[/quote]

The way you've structured things, his duty is to struggle to bring in 100% of the financial resources your family needs to survive. Your duty is to manage the household and children. If you expect him to share your load, are you planning to bring in money?

OP here. Haven't visited in a few days.

Funny you ask that - I have been wanting to get a remote, ad-hoc, gig to help bring in some extra money, even if it's not a crazy amount. One, to hopefully bring in more funds, and two, so I can get a mental break from all kid stuff.

He has told me no so many times, I just don't bother bringing it up anymore. He says it will take too much of my time and take away from me raising the kids. So it just further reinforces to me that he doesn't want to pull his weight with child rearing.

As an aside, just a few hours ago he hit his head on the microwave, cussed, and slammed it shut so hard it scared everyone (including baby) in the house. I was in the middle of a virtual meeting at the dining table. It has been great.. he refuses to believe he has an anger problem so..[/quote]
