You: you need to start doing your own laundry.Lil’ brat: you can’t make me you’re not my mom!You: Then you’ll have to wear dirty Wrinkled clothes to schoolDon’t give in. She’ll learn real fast.
Ungrateful assholes
Normally I wouldn’t complain about my husband and his kids or mine. Normally I just smile and continue with my day. But today I’m feeling extremely unappreciated and need to rant.
I work 40+ hours a week. (Monday - Friday). I take the kids to all their extracurricular activities like softball and dance multiple times a week. On weekends I spend a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry. I pay ALL the bills at our house minus a cell phone bill right now. I’m constantly having to pick up after his brat kids because they leave things everywhere. The oldest one takes bath towels in her room after a shower and won’t EVER bring them to laundry to be washed. No one but me does dishes. Occasionally he will cook dinner. He works 12 hr shifts, but only like 16 days of the month so he’s off work a lot of days.
Today, I took out all our trash (like always) and pushed the dumpster to the curb for pickup. I left for a doctors appointment. He sends me a text telling me the neighbors dog knocked over our dumpster and tore our trash up all over the yard etc. I get home and the trash is still all over the place and he’s gone to work early “for training” I didn’t even know about. Now I get to clean up this mess and take kids to softball and dance, cook dinner, and everything else. Why couldn’t he pick up the damn trash?! 🙄😒

Don’t expect him to pick up the trash, next time just throw him in it🙄 there’s no way my bf would let me take the garbage out. You are not his parent you are his partner you shouldn’t be doing everything alone

At this point it’s been 5 years like this. I probably let him think it was okay to be this way. I guess I just need to tel him that things have to change because I can’t do all this.

You’re not sounding like a bitch. I’d look at it as “maybe she’s right she works, takes care of are children, and cooks and cleans for me all alone) what’s the difference of you being married or single at this point?) not saying to leave him but for things to be productive and you not being ran to the ground he should help before you possibly burn out there’s no reason why he cant
Si
I agree completely but idk how to get him to do anything without sounding like a bitch. 🙄 I’m just tired of being the maid.
How old are the kids? Start giving them some responsibilities around the house

Honestly I always have just been a “I’ll just do it myself” kind of person. Which has been fine most of my life. I take care of my own stuff. I never really had any issues with cleaning up and cooking etc. until his kids started destroying my house all the time. 🤦🏼♀️ he’s a very “laid back” parent and I’m the “psycho stepmom” that attempts to make them into functioning adults 😂. But seriously I think I’m just tired today and needed to vent. Feeling more like a maid than a wife and that isn’t what I signed up for

Idk how you’ve dealt with this, bless you

So basically he uses you as a nanny for his children? You have to clean up after them but get no say in anything? I’d start getting petty & let him know not to attempt to discipline or speak your kids if he can’t treat his exactly the same, anything you do for his kids he needs to start doing himself.
I’m a 13 year old and my mom struggles a lot with my dad not doing as much around the house. my mom works a lot and my dad has a regular schedule of 7am-6pm everyday. he comes home, eats, and sits on the couch as my mom is doing laundry, vacuuming etc. don’t let him push you around. you aren’t his mom and he needs to know that. also my nephew is 3 and he makes his own dinner sometimes, helps empty the dishwasher etc. so give your kids something to do and threaten to ground them or take their phone. i’m a teenager so i’m not an expert but you got this!!

You nephew is 3??? Helping with around the house stuff !?😮
He doesn't see how much work you put in and I think you're an amazing woman for doing all that hard work. I understand you would like him to help around a bit I suggest don't do his laundry for a couple days or a week and If he says anything just tell him he could help around then he could afford some of his own clothes and stop leaching 😂😂😂
