Household chores
My husband and I have been together for 5 years. We recently got married in August. About two months after we got together he lost his job and it took almost 1.5 years for him to get another job. I worked full time and did all of the house chores. It was pretty ridiculous but He used the excuse of trying to find a job and that's why he didn't have time to do the housework. Well he finally found a bar tending job and in the mean time I put on permanent disability almost 2 years ago due to a heart issue. It's been an ongoing battle as to who will do the housework. He says that because he works I should do it, even though I am currently pregnant and am very active in our 8 year olds class at school. He says because he works 5-8 hours 5 days a week I should be the one who cleans everything. The only thing he does is his laundry and that's half way. Most of the time he will wash what he needs and then take out what he needs dry and dry that. Leaving his other clothes in the washer, until I move them. Then he piles them the corner of the bedroom and never folds them. But he claims he does his laundry. Recently he admitted that he hasn't once fully cleaned the bathroom since we've lived I our house - 3.5 years. He claims that since I don't work I should do it all. Even though I am disabled, and a pregnant mom. What do you think? I ask him for a chore chart so it's even, that's all I want and he says he doesn't want to be treated like a kid. But the second I don't feel like cleaning the house and stop. He flipped. Like today, last few days it's been busy and I stopped cleaning. Today he can't find his sunglasses and in turn yells at me BC the house is a mess. Woah. What should I do? I didn't know I would be expected to do all of the house work after we got married. 50/50 is fine but not me doing 100 and him doing nothing! How do you split your household duties?
