Argument with partner

How would you react if you asked for more help and support with the baby and your partner said this to you? (He does nothing with the baby or round the house) “You get paid to sit at home and look after him” really love that smp life don’t I “If you can’t afford to leave the house go back to work” I still pay half of all house bills plus my own lol I asked for more help with the baby - “if you don’t want to look after him all the time, go back to work and let someone else do it”

I’d be PISSED! If my husband said that to me!! I’d tell him if he doesn’t *want* to help, then I don’t need it, or him for that matter. Bye boy. I was almost at that point. I’d been asking for help in the evenings when the rush was on for bedtime routine plus cook dinner and housework etc. and he was supposed to be home from work already. He took his time to hear me (and it still took a crying breakdown to get it across) and step up, so in the meantime I stopped asking for help and in the end told him that I wanted him around. I wanted his help, but I he couldn’t or wouldn’t, then id figure it out on my own… without him.

I would choose to not be with someone who feels comfortable speaking in that way to me, about me, and about our child.

Unfortunately,this is a common shitty male attitude these days, pisses me right off!

I wouldn't be there, clearly doesn't care or respect you, or sound like he wants to be a dad

I would pack up and leave, even for a week or so and cut off contact

Doesn’t sound like he respects you or your baby. You’re on SMP and it’s fucking hard, how does he think £700 a month is enough to support yourself and your baby. Don’t carry on being a single parent in a relationship and try to get your ducks in row x
