It'd be real nice if I had some help around my house

Today is Sean's day off and even though we got completely caught up with dishes (minus last nights because it was Sean's turn and he didn't do them) I wanted to finish cleaning the kitchen. We haven't been able to take our trash out for almost a month because people kept parking in front of our dumpster and even though today is garbage day and our garbage has been taken, he still won't take the trash out. He hasn't done the little bit of dishes that need to be cleaned, nothing. When I ask him he says he'll do it when his friend gets offline since they're playing computer games together. But I just found out that Larry's been gone for over an hour and when I asked him why he still hasn't gotten up to help, he says it's because Larry is coming back. I'm so tired of having to do everything around here. I can't make dinner if there's no pots to do it. UGH! I just want to punch something.

Good luck

	Comment from kCharleneS » Posted Mar. 13, 2013 4:01pm I agree, he should help me. And I've made that very clear. After some cold shouldering on my part he did eventually clean the kitchen, although he threw a man tantrum about it. But I wasn't going to give in and I stuck to my guns. It's just frustrating because we were so far behind on dishes and when they've been sitting for more than a night I can't do them. I can't handle the smell and I can't scrub them. I'm a very weak girl, I don't have the upper body strength to scrub them. He was the one who wanted to do alternating nights on dishes and I said that as long as we got them caught up first. And of course, once they get caught up he refuses to do them. This pregnancy has been hard; I can't stand for long periods of time without getting braxton hicks contractions, I have horrible back and hip pain where if I do too much I can barely walk. And he knows this. I just hope that when I talk to him about it it really sinks in and he starts to help me.
	Comment from GemGem » Posted Mar. 13, 2013 12:51pm Wow. im sorry but he sounds like a lazy bastard, you deserve better! your growing his little baby inside you. he should be helping you rather than playing video games with his friends. he needs to grow up... I agree with the last poster, go out and have a lovely meal without him. I cant actually believe this journal. I'm sorry if I've over stepped the line and offended you but it makes me so angry. He has no excuse, hes about to be a father!
