I'm a little disappointed sometimes. My bf says that there are couples whose girlfriends do all the house work plus cooking, work a job AND do everything for the kids. I'm sorry but I just don't believe this is the case for moms who aren't single!
So he came home from work for a rain day and gets into bed with our almost 5 month old who is still sleeping. I get downstairs to start laundry and a load of dishes and as soon as I finish, our boy apparently woke up cuz I hear his father yelling my name. I get up the stairs to find that he has turned his back on our son to get away from him crying.
I pick him up and just say good morning and he's instantly happy... like I don't understand this at all. He's been such a good father but hasn't helped around the house unless he's doing it out of frustration. I'm at a loss for words and don't know what to do!!
This isn't something that happens often but just made me feel uneasy. I'm in desperate need of some one on one time with him so we can talk things over. He's a rational man and so loving. But something's just not right.
He's bonding more than ever with our older boy. But values his time out drinking with his buddies over being home with all of us. He's mentioned time and time again how he needs to stop. But nothing changes...
energizederica21, yes that's true even single and married women do all those stuff but my husband in my case HAS TO HELP! Because he received my love! My fidelity! My entire dedication as mother and wife! You have to share stuff with your BF! While you clean he clean too while you sleep he can go out with the baby and if want sleep you can put with the baby! Both needs share the home that is why there are couple building a home, if he doesn't want is just good father not good boyfriend or not good future husband
@snow_bunny_diva95, I'm assuming the conversation was successful? I've been with my man for over 5 years and we have had kids for over 2 years now where I've been the stay at home mom. So I get that I'm responsible for the majority of the stuff at home but I feel like we could compromise on some things so it's not so overwhelming for me...
I been w my man for almost 3 yrs and I felt the same way.
Until I sat him down and said look your his father. You need to stop your bull shit. You need to also take care of your son. I can't do everything.
