Just venting about an ignorant irresponsible husband!
I don’t know if it’s just me or if all husbands are like this, because my husband claims that all men are like him!
He doesn’t want to help with house chores, doesn’t do what’s asked of him, and only helps with the baby on his own terms and free time. Yet, whenever I get upset about something he does, he blames me for not asking for help. Honestly, I don’t even know if I want to ask for help anymore — it feels like such a mental load just to ask!
Usually, he’ll say things like, “Oh, I was about to iron my clothes,” or “I was about to eat,” or “I was about to sleep, I have an early day tomorrow.” You see where this goes…
Even when he does agree to help, he does things in a way that makes me want to just say, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself.” For example, if I ask him to sauté some veggies, he says, “Oh, we should try raw veggies sometime.” Or if I ask him to pass a fork, he says, “You should eat with your hands.”
At this point, I don’t even know if things will ever improve. Part of me feels like I might end up leaving, but I don’t want to take any extreme step right now because it would impact my baby.
“I can’t read minds”
I’m SO tired of men constantly using “Tell me what you need, I can’t read minds” BS!! As a parent, you just either have the intuition to KNOW or you figure it out! It’s 2:45am right now, and my son (5months) was moving around… So I knew in my mind that we needed a bottle pronto or he will wake up! I told my husband to pass me the formula… INSTEAD he kept saying “what do you need???” THE FORMULA BRO!!! Then he had the audacity to say “what for?” UHM??? because I’M hungry??? wtf?🤦🏾♀️😂 Like our child! So i proceeded to say “what else? To make a bottle” to which he replied “okay then, no need for the smart comment” 😐😐 Like our child is about to wake up, either make a fucking bottle or give me the damn formula! Like it’s not mind reading or rocket science, i’m so over it.
