Gotta rant so I don’t snap on my husband...
So my house is kind of a mess. We go on vacation or weekend trips and when we get home we don’t put our stuff away so it gets left laying around. Not a mess to where it should be a concern safety or health wise, more of I just don’t want ppl to see it this way kind of thing.
I’m 9 weeks pregnant today. And this pregnancy so far has been kicking my butt. I’m tired all the time and I get queasy if I’m bending over too often so I haven’t really done much cleaning. I normally do all the cleaning because my husband is really bad at it and it has always been easier for me to just do it.
my husband works 12 hr shifts and I only work 8 hr shifts. Each week he has 2-3 full days off usually without our 3year old. My only days off I have the three year old and before I was pregnant I was able to entertain him and get stuff done.
Here’s my issues:
1. When I ask him to do something he always half ass does it. Ex: he went to the store and did dishes one day after asking for like a week. When I got home all the non refrigerated food was still on my table and he had rinsed a pasta sauce pan in my bathtub and it was stained red.
2. We have 5 rooms that need cleaned in our house this past weekend I told him to pick 2 rooms but if he picked the bathroom it also included my son’s toy room (which my son was supposed to help clean) he picked the bathroom and the kitchen. All that needed done in the kitchen was dishes counter top needed wiped down and the floor swept and swiffered. And the bathroom takes me like 30min to deep clean. But because I wasn’t felling well and only picked up the floor in the living room and folded like 3 baskets of clothes he felt he didn’t have to clean if I wasn’t.
3. When I picked up the living room and folded clothes my husband was asleep and I was watching the kid who is in a stage where he is refusing to listen to me and spankings and time out aren’t working. I’m pretty sure it’s because he knows I’m tired and really have no energy.
4. He stayed up till 730 this morning playing video games. So when I got up at 730 to get ready for work I asked him to help get our son ready for daycare. He said ok and went to sleep. I got out of the shower got dressed and was completely ready to leave for work and to take our son but he hadn’t gotten up to get him ready. So I left for work and left my son with my husband. On days my husband works I get up earlier so I can get me and my son ready because my husband goes in 1.5hrs before I get up on his off days he is supposed to help.
5. He has to be at work by 530 tomorrow morning so he will want to be in bed by like 8. Since I have softball from 9-10 tonight he will have the kid by himself. Which means he’s gonna stay up later since he let our son sleep so late today and when I get home from softball completely wore out I’m gonna have to get our son ready for bed and let the dogs out and everything else because “he needs to get to bed”, Which roughly translates to “I need an hour of quiet time to focus on my game on my phone to get everything done before I go to sleep.”
Rant over.
Oh yeah I was so frustrated when I left I forgot my morning sickness stuff so there’s that too
