Why do I have to do everything!

[goodmama]

I feel tired of doing everything I'm about to quit being a wife is that possible?  I clean cook take care of my daughter and he still doesn't say good job let me help,  I hate this I love my daughter but I need a break it get to me how a man could change after the kids.  He use to do everything before and now  I can't even get him to take out the garbage.

Jan. 12, 2007 at 1:40 PM Wouldnt it be nice to quit for a day or two? We cant, but there are ways to make it easier. Just talk with your husband and let him know what you are thinking.

Jan. 12, 2007 at 1:46 PM Awe!  I'm so sorry.  My hubbie never was much help.  But, I go on strike all the time.  My house gets a mess and I'll nag him to death.  Sometimes it works and he'll help only a little.  Sometimes I get stuck with everything I didn't do while on strike.  If only men came with a chip that we could program.  Life would be great!  :)  Good luck with him.

Jan. 12, 2007 at 2:09 PM I'm sorry! Sometimes I think I have the last helpful Hubby in the world... he really is great about that. Try to take a little time for yourself... it will help... maybe a bubble bath later?

Jan. 12, 2007 at 3:02 PM Well I wrote this just to see how many women have this problem.  My husband does help me with the dishes sweeping and moping the floor the bathtub I thought some men help more then others

Jan. 12, 2007 at 10:23 PM If my husband doesn't help I tell him, "Pack your bags your going on a guilt trip!" I let him have it.

Jan. 13, 2007 at 9:50 PM Hey! I know how you feel. I do all the cooking, cleaning, pay the bills, and help 3 kids with homework. On top of that, I do all the running for all the kids activities. He tells me he appreciates it, but  sometimes I'd like it if he would just take over once and a while. To watch him go crazy trying to do what I do, that would be hilarious!1LOL

Jan. 14, 2007 at 10:18 PM sorry you're having hubby troubles, me too! lol. My hubby is actually pretty good, he will always cook (almost every nite!) and he will do dishes, take out the garbage etc., but the everyday upkeep of the house usually falls to me. And what with his socks and clothes always around, dirty cups and dishes on the coffee table (grrr), it seems I am always cleaning up!! Sometimes I will also go on "strike" but that only works half the time.... oh well.... I try in moments like that to remember the things I love about him, and remember that he puts up with my imperfections too
