Am I the asshole?
My family and I just moved to a new house in a new town. My husband works remotely from home full time and works 3 nights a week part time doing 3-4 hour shifts.
My husband says that I should be doing everything around the house because he deserves to relax and lounge around after work and on weekends. I’m a stay at home Mom of 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 6 months.
On top of cooking, cleaning, shopping with zero help, I do remote learning with our Kindergartner. My husband literally cannot function without me. I tried to go to the store the other day quickly and he called me screaming he didn’t know how to log our Kindergartner back into Zoom after lunch.
Any time I go to the store for some sanity (I’m EBF a clingy teething 6 month old who refuses a bottle), I get text messages to hurry back home.
I just feel like I can’t catch a breather without feeling my husband breathing down my neck.
Any time I ask for help with something he says I’m lazy and that this is why I raise the kids and he works. I also didn’t mention that I stopped working my hospital job part time on top of all of this right after I gave birth in March.
Is it me or is my husband delusional and lazy? I blame his Mom for giving him this mind set. I told him this isn’t fair. I was raised in a household that my parents each contributed the same 50/50. My husband says nah, women should do the work.
He wasn’t always like this. I feel like he’s just getting lazier and lazier as the years go by. We’ve been together 11 years and married for 7.
I love him but I just feel so tired!!!
