Yesterday was one of my dh three days off. On his days off from work all I ask of him is to please wash the dishes so that when I come home to cook dinner I can start with a clean kitchen. So I came home from 9 hours of dealing with rude customers at work and immediately started dinner while listening to dd's talk about their day at school and keeping our siberian huskies from wandering into the kitchen :D. Once that was finished I served everyone, ate and immediately ran down to basement to start laundry. While laundry was going I got the dinner dishes washed and started to help my dd's with their homework. Once that was done I ran the vacuum in the living (think lots of hair left by two large dogs) and dusted and ran down to the basement to switch laundry around and fold and put away. On my way back up my dh glanced up from his big comfy recliner where he was flipping through the channels and asked "Are you planning on getting the kids in the shower any time soon?" I was instantly irritated. I knew he was asking because he wanted to be uhhh..intimate, after the kids went to bed. But I felt like he was saying I wasn't working hard enough or something. I worked a 9 hour day while he had the day off and he still sat in his chair while I did everything and then wanted to tell me to move faster so he could "get some". Would this make anyone else angry? Or am I making too much of it?
I would have been annoyed and I would not have had sex with him.
Wouldn't have made me angry because I would have simply said, "I have worked nearly ten hours today I am still doing house work get up and help" or I would have just looked at him like he was crazy and he would realize "she wants me to do something, but honestly my hubby ,might be lazier than me but if he's home and he sees me working around the house he will say baby sit you've done enough and he takes over or tries cause sometimes I like to finish certain things, even if he worked that day
Quoting catrig:
If you are both working why is he doing more?
Umm...what in my post made it seem as though he does more????? All i ask is for him to wash the dishes. He has three days off to my two and I do ALL the housework, laundry, taking care of kids, grocery shopping and in the summertime even most of the yard work.
