Hey ladies! So I have a special needs child and my March baby. I absolutely cannot work due to insurance reasons for my special needs child. To put it in perspective, our child’s meds cost $ 12,000 a week, not including the nursing fees it takes to administer the meds, or doctor’s visits. so there’s no way I can work and lose his insurance. My husband works four days a week, ten hour days. He’s also a gamer. He truly believes that he should have to do no housework. He says that it’s my job and he doesn’t want to go to work and come home do anything else. He’s also a big gamer.

While I agree that he shouldn’t have to come home to work, I think we should be a team, both doing things that benefit our children and household. I don’t feel like I should have to wait for him to get out a match on his game just to help.

I haven’t asked him to do any housework this past week besides take the trash out when he leaves for work. And I haven’t asked him to watch our children besides watch them while I shower, hold/entertain our baby while I cook, and change a few diapers.

We have been having this same conversation for four years.

How do you feel about this? Should I just deal with my feelings and get over it?
