Is this normal?
My husband won't help with housework at all. He leaves empty pop and poweraide bottles everywhere, and garbage is left everywhere also. My couch is always covered in his junk or toys that he wont put away when our daughter brings them out. Whenever i try to get him to help, he always says that he's too busy during the day for housework. He doesn't work, but is a stay at home dad to our 2 year old.
I have a feeling while im working, he just puts on a movie for her so he can play on his phone and considers that watching her.
Ive asked him atleast 4 times a week for 3 years now to turn the ringer on his phone up so i can get ahold of him while im working. He never does that, but then gets mad if i dont answer the first time he calls because he calls while im changing a diaper or showering.
Today, he said he wasnt feeling good, so i took our daughter out so he would have the house to himself to rest. We got home and he keeps falling asleep on the couch. (I dont think he rested). He refuses to do anything to help me with her while im home since "thats his break for the day since he's running after her all day." (I work full time and come home only to cook and clean and run after a toddler and pick up fucking powerade bottles.
Ive tried telling him how i feel about all of this, but he tells me to stop nagging and ignores me from there. Seriously, im at my wits end.
Edit: hes been out from work for medical reasons for awhile. The doctors gave him the okay to start applying for desk work only back in october. So far, the only apps that have been sent are ones i told him to do or did myself because he's "too busy".
