Is my boyfriend too traditional or selfish?

So he gets to work 8 hour shifts & you get to work 24/7? Ask him how he would like to 50/50 through the courts.

Ok so he was raised in a traditional home but…does he have a functioning brain and an empathetic heart? Sorry for the harshness but wdym eh doesn’t want to look after HIS son?! It’s the bare minimum. I’m so sorry you’re going through that

Maybe you could watch your son while he shops and cooks. Fair trade

That’s not traditional husband or father behavior. That’s “my mommy did everything for me and I expect to marry a mother not a wife” behavior. Bluntly put, there’s grace yes, but that is ridiculous behavior to me. 8 hours then he gets to slack off while you spend 24/7 doing a JOB?? Once he walks through that door, his parent job should CLOCK IN. That means more work more tasks more “things he doesn’t wanna do”. That’s called being a grown man.

A traditional husband and father would come home from his 9-5 and take his 15-30 minutes then clock in for parenting and husbanding. The wife may cook and clean and do everything for the household in his ABSENCE but once he gets through that door, it should become 50/50. Almost immediately. That’s true traditional husband and wife behavior. Oh she cooks even after he comes home? Then he cleans. Oh she still deals with the children majority even after he’s home? Then he cooks cleans and takes care of her. That a functional traditional household

He’d be working even if he didn’t have y’all at home. That’s not contribution to the family, that’s his life with or without family. He’d also need to do 100% of housework without you, so at least with you he’s cutting that in half, according to what you’re asking. So he’s getting a bargain by splitting housework. I’m so sorry you’re going through this

Do we have the same boyfriend because I literally just got told the same thing because I’m 5 months pregnant and just want some me time because I’m tired of cooking,cleaning,staying up/ watching kids every day without any thing even as much as a thank you. Like I get it’s “my job as a mother” but life would be so hard doing all that plus working ! HES SELFISH JUST LIKE MY MAN IS because his MOMMY DID/DOES EVERYTHING FOR HIM

I constantly tell my boyfriend working is not a sacrifice because like everyone said HE WOULD HAVE TO DO IT + MORE if we woman didn’t sacrifice our careers to stay home with our children!

This is not traditional. This is lazy

That isn't being raised in a traditional home in my opinion. It's being raised in a patriarchal society where men are viewed as superior.

If your partner was single (theoretically) they would also have to do dishes, laundry, cooking/cleaning. Why is it so difficult for men? We do all of that, plus we raise children, keep them safe, some mom's do work part or full-time.
Taking care of your household is a shared responsibility. Full stop.
