mothers

You're not alone.I'm a stay at home mommy as well although my husband does help me with other chores without me asking him. He says he knows I work a lot and it's just right that he helps me too.

well my dear, you are not alone. my 1st husband was exactly like that. and to top it all, he would even boss me around to pick up after him and to get him things like i'm his maid. he never helped me wih the kids much less any other chore in the house. well i guess that's why he's my ex right? my current husband is no mr. helper himself but he does help around from time to time. i guess it's natural for us mothers to do eerything for our kids, it would be a perfect world if husbands help wives more often wouldn't it?

You're not alone. I've been a stay at home mom since I became pregnant for my twins over 6 years ago. He's been working 50+ hours a week since then, so I'm responsbile for everything! We can't afford childcare, so I'm not able to get a job. Sometimes I feel like I'm desperate to get a job and get out of the house for awhile, but he won't stay home with them to let me get one. He won't change jobs in order to free up more time so I can do something out of the house. And like your husband, when mine is home, he does nothing! I get on his case constantly about picking up after himself, helping with the kids, etc etc. I get so tired of doing it by myself all the time. Even when they're acting up and need to be talked to, he won't do it unless I tell him to. We can clearly hear what they're doing, but he just ignores it. The worst is when I'm in the middle of something, like the dishes. He'll come over and tell me he'll take care of it... well it's too late now, I'm already doing it. The dishes have been sitting in the sink all day but he won't decide to do them until I'm already doing them. So yeah, it's pretty much everyone, not just you.
