[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Let me see if this is sinking in. So..I get off work, I exercise, I clean the house, I bathe the kids and do dinner, homework, etc. DH is a lazy POS and hasn't done much of anything but come home from work and veg on the tv or phone. I don't get mad or feel resentful about this because hey, if I want to clean or feed the kids that's my side of the road to worry about, not his? Is the idea that he'll see me happy and not complaining and will eventually join in and help?[/quote]

The idea is that you are going to clean, give the baths, cook the dinner, supervise the homework anyway -- and now it's done without any hard feelings.  Just let go of the expectation of help.  If it comes, enjoy it.  If it doesn't, no biggie -- you weren't expecting anything.  Getting mad every night about this stuff is no way to live.[/quote]

Got it. So basically, if I divorce him and become a single mom, I'll be doing this all solo anyway. So if he does do anything at all, it's just a plus.[/quote]
