Advice on husbands?
My husband in the military and works everyday for 16 hour shift. He comes home and get in the normal clothes and hops on the game. I stay home and care of two children. Our kids are toddler and 2 months at the time but now is 2 and 8 months old and we don’t have them with us right now due to medical issues that led to cps involved but how can I get my husband to help me more when I cook or need clean cause it hard for me to clean daily when and my toddler need constant attention and my other son need to be fed and etc. my husband doesn’t cook or feed them and give less attention coming home from work but gives them attention on the weekends. Him and I talked about this and he gets on the game here and there it not consistent like it was before cause he was always having a bad day at work and put all the stress and what he deals at work on to the game.

I told my husband he father to and that he need to help more other thinking that I don’t work but stay at home take care of children all day everyday doing what their needs are and lacking on house duties due to them but work around when they nap and take a small break on cleaning a little and back to their needs. It a lot especially when he come home give our son minimal attention then on the game and get up and help me with kids when I ask. I shouldn’t have to ask and for him keep on playing. But once we both get our children there’s gonna be rules to where he no longer gonna get on the game on the week until the weekend or when both children are sleeping.

I’m in sort of the same position my bf works while i stay home with our 2 month old and i had to explain to him i understand he just worked but he’s still a parent at the end of the day. when he comes home i don’t just get to stop being a mom while he’s here. i understand he’s tired but so am i its just two different kinds of tired but at the end of the day he’s still a parent and his job doesn’t just stop because he worked all day it’s unfair. and after explaining that to him he helps out more, with our kid and around the house
