My Husband / myLot

I am 20 year old woman with a 24 year old husband. My husband really has a mentality of a 16 year and that's not good because we have 2 very young children and he doesn't take responsibility for them and I stay in the house litterally 24/7 watching the kids. He thinks of himself first and that's it. He tends to go out with his friends everytime he is off of work and watches movies and tv and stuff, but when we try to he falls asleep. I ask him if he wants to do something else but then he get all snappy with me. Any advice on how I can get him to spend time with me too? P.S. We don't have a car right now.

Try to find something that he really loves doing then join him in doing that. But first, what you really need is communication. Tell him everything you feel without nagging him.

I have mentioned it to him on SEVERAL occasions and we even talked with my father last night and he agreed that when we have talks he jus sit there and basically nods his head and gives me extreamly short answers. I ask him what he thinks about something and he says, " well, what do you want me to say." that is good advice, but i have already tried that too. Thanks for your input.
