What do i do?
Husband finally told me what was wrong after telling me he was fine the last few days while being short and not really talking to me at all. He said he’s sick of the house being a disaster and that he can get stuff done while watching our son so why can’t I. He said sometimes you’ll just have to listen to him scream which I cannot do. I am a SAHM to our one year old son(it was his birthday today). I have tried to explain that our son is more clingy with me and it is next to impossible to get everything done when it’s just the two of us. He said no one can help me until I help myself. He doesn’t like that I ask for help and don’t like going places with our son without having another person go with us. Our son is very high energy and so it makes going to the store alone with him very difficult. My husband also complained about how I never go to bed with him because I say i have stuff to do first. I am the one who puts our son to bed every night while my husband usually showers or sits on the couch on his phone. Then after our son goes to bed if I had time to cook dinner before then we eat if not I then cook dinner. After we eat I then have to pack up the food and my husband’s lunch for work, do the dishes, wash the bottles, prep bottles for morning, pick up toys, and fold the laundry I managed to do that day. I have tried to tell him that if he could do even a couple of those things for me then I would probably be able to go to bed with him but he doesn’t. He ended the conversation by saying he was done and he doesn’t care anymore. He will just stop expecting me to do anything but keep our kid alive while he’s at work and then he went to bed. What do i do? Idk how to respond to any of this or how to act now. I will fully admit that I am not the best at keeping a clean house. It’s messy but we are also still remodeling and don’t have upper cabinets in the kitchen for instance so there is no storage and everything ends up cluttered. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Annoyed and need a rant
My son is 2, and I have done every bed time, every wake up since my son was born. He's sick at the moment, has a cough, and it's keeping him up all night. It's been going on for a week, so in the last week I've probably slept for about 4 hours in total. Fine.
Today, I have a 12 hour shift. I work for the NHS in a very demanding role. I asked my son's Dad to sit with our son for 2 hours last night. 2 hours where I would go into a spare room and have 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then I would take over again. I don't think I was asking the earth.
After 20 minutes, he came to wake me in a flap to tell me he can't cope.
So here I am, up to do a 12 hour shift. On 20 mins sleep. Bringing the grand total sleep time over the last 8 days to 4 hours and 20 mins.
Why are men so useless?
