So I don’t ask my husband to do hardly anything around the house but the few very simple tasks I ask of him he won’t do. The main thing is taking out the trash on the way to work. We live on the top floor of our apartment building and I don’t want to drag a one year old to the dumpster with me, plus I’m so short I have to use both hands to open the dumpster and I don’t want to touch my son after that. I make it very easy on him, I bag up the trash and set it right by the door. He can’t seem to figure out that if there is trash by the door I want it taken out, he will leave it for days and then have the nerve to say oh I didn’t know if it was ready. It’s trash, if the bag is tied what else does he expect me to do with it?

He also leaves his laptop on the couch all the time and then gets mad at our son for touching it, I usually have to put it away every morning so our son leaves it alone and I’m tired of it, it’s not mine so why am I responsible for it?

And for the love of god how hard is it to put your laundry in the hamper?? I understand his work pants because he rewears those but he has five work shirts and a five day work week why does he feel the need to throw them on the bathroom floor and rewear them?

I’m just frustrated because I do everything around the house and I really don’t mind it but I don’t like feeling like I’m my husband’s maid, he’s a grown man who should be able to do these simple tasks.
