As a stay at home mom and wife….im still 6months postpartum.
I was wondering, if your husband or s/o ever helps out around the house.
I’m asking cause my husband goes to work from 5AM-1:30PM, he EXPECTS me to do everything. Dealing with a crybaby, cook, clean, do laundry ALL by myself. I was just wondering if that’s normal life for all you stay at home moms and housewives/girlfriends.
Everytime I bring it up he says he goes to work and comes home then has to cook… always bitches at me that the house is dirty but not once has taken the chance or opportunity to ask if I’m really ok.
I’m not I’m overwhelmed with a baby that cries all the time, I feel like my husband is miserable with us all he does is complain and tell me how much the baby is a cry baby and how much I don’t do for him.

He's not up to standard of a modern husband in a developed world. If he wants this child, then you two are a team.
I wouldn't say half half of housework, but he needs to do his bit of chores and childcare. That's not even a good husband and partner, a good one should be caring and understanding. That applies to both people in a relationship.
Things also depend a bit on your financial situation. Did you work? Do you have maternity pay and contribute financially?
My husband always helps and does his part. We take turn to rest or do our own things. I do more chores, but overall I'd say he contributes more to our family than i do.
