[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry and this sucks. I agree with the other posters in saying that this is a problem and he's being a jerk. But a couple of observations/quesitons.

1. What conversations have you had with him about this? It has no hope of changing unless you've told him about the burdens on you, asked him to pitch in, asked him not to take the hunting trips, etc.

2. Consider assigning him specific tasks. "I need you to take care of DS's bedtime routine tonight." "I need you to arrange dinners for the rest of the week. I don't care whether you cook them or get takeout, but I don't want to have to think about it." Make him do something, and make it be without your guidance and step-by-step instruction.

3. Take a weekend away for yourself. DH and DS will survive.

4. Explore changes with your nanny. A nanny is not a housekeeper and can't be expected to be a full time housekeeper. However, asking her to do the kid's laundry, unload a dishwasher, etc. is not unreasonable.[/quote]
