[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what percentage of the income do you make?[/quote]

Not relevant. [/quote]

Haha well we found the issue.[/quote]

Yep, this is my guess. He works more and makes more.

And assuming this is true, he can afford the housekeeper since he doesn't want to do the chores[/quote]

So the spouse that works more and makes more is expected do 50% of the housework as well? My guess is OP is a stay at home mom with some sort of hobby job and expects DH to take on all the duties on the weekend so DW can play.[/quote]

OP here. I wish I had those expectations. Sadly, mine is very minimal. I am a nurse. I am not playing on the weekend. Vacuuming big chunks of food isn't too much to ask. Being at home all weekend and not lifting a finger is pure laziness. [/quote]

And how did throwing laundry and swinging the vacuum around help you?[/quote]

[b]He folded the laundry. He's been winking at me ever since. [/b]I threw it on him again, but this time in less of a scary mommy kind of way. They were all on the sofa when I did it. Kids thought it was hilarious. He asked for the deadline, and I said 10 minutes. I set a timer, and [b]it was done in 5 minutes[/b]. Our therapist mentioned using a timer with our 6-year-old to get ready in the morning. It worked on my 39-year-old husband.[/quote]

OP here. I meant to write I threw it on him again today. [/quote]
So your tantrum and out of control behavior didn't work.

Do everyone a favor and get a divorce.

Your children shouldn't witness such dysfunction.

Wrong. Did you miss the part about him folding the laundry? [/quote]
