I'm furious. I just got a job finally. Started on the 8th at chick fil a in the mall. Full time, great benefits and broken promises from hubby. He said he'll be Mr. Mom. Doing dishes, trash, keeping baby clean and do dinner like he's been wanting. Does he? Nope. I work every day except Sundays 3 - 10. Today I had a 11:30a.m - 8p.m shift and tomorrow I'm doing baby's vaccinations at 8a.m going to work at 11:30 a.m - 10p.m. Lately I've been doing housework, cooking, barely getting sleep at night due too baby because hubby is too "tired" from playing video games. My one day off I'm doing laundry making sure we all have clean clothes and also my uniform cleaned. I'm also still doing grocery shopping even when he can do that during my work time since he drops me off at work because I don't have my license yet (19 yrs old here). I'm taking energy pills to be able to do my job and since we're competing for hours (those who work harder and smoother gets the most hours its business but competing is the best I can put it) I'm doing everything I can to stay on top so I can get a bigger check for rent and gas and everything we need for her and us. I'm doing fucking everything and He's barely doing shit. I need to sleep yet I'm cooking for both of us because I haven't eaten all day and He's busy relaxing. I still need to give my baby a bath since she has vaccinations tomorrow morning. I still need to do dishes because I'm doing every fucking thing. I have to go into town a little before 8 to make sure she makes it on time without me being late to work. I don't trust him with the paperwork. He nearly fucked up our foodstamps again. Plus I need to make sure she gets them instead of him going to gamestop. I'm crying, stressed , tired. I'm on the edge but without me my baby won't be able to survive right now. That's always on my mind and is my motivation.....I'm done ranting
He sounds like dead weight. I wouldn't do ANYTHING for him. Wash your clothes and the baby's. Cook for yourself and the baby.. Maybe he will get the hint.
my first kids dad was like that and i left him when my son was a few months old .cuz he only cared about himself amd didnt acknowledged us or work or nothing. his dad paid our rent.. i was like f this im out n and i left 😃 best thing i ever did. for me and my son.
@alexandriahill08 he won't because daycare is expensive and he won't agree to getting wto to help pay for daycare
i would be pissed!😠... i would tell him ok you are paying for daycare. i would say either clean the house and help, or go get a job and pay for daycare.! then when you both get off of work its a joint effort. then he has to help u.😉 hope u get some rest. it will work out.:)
@sarahmartinez817 thank you so much. I need all the comfort and advice I can get
I'm so sorry you're in this situation, that's just awful of him. Feel free to ignore this if you just wanted to vent without advice, but it might change things if you just didn't do the tasks you want him to take over. It sucks because you have to live there too, but just stop. Or, at least, stop doing the things that help him. Cook 1 person meals just for you (or better, eat at work). Do your laundry, but not his. Clean your side of the room, but not his. Make it uncomfortable and hard for him to continue to keep doing nothing. It might mean putting up with some messes in the short term, but hopefully it will get him off his butt in the long term. I hope things get better for you quickly!
@j_erin that poor baby girl. Is there not anyone to help you get out of there sooner?
@rikki.ferguson I have no idea. I do check the formula bowl for when we go out, and the can that is open to make sure she is eating. I came home to her eating apples with peanut butter. She's barely four months. I know he lets her lay down while playing games and watching tv. She cries so he can cuddle her. When she feels him moving like he's playing his games she cries and makes him stop. Even she is fed up with his crap. I'm the only one playing with her to my knowledge
ID stop doingbit for a day and see if he steps up he isn't ganna notice until he wakes up to no clean fishes laundry act.
@j_erin things will be better before long dear. Keep your chin up. Is he taking good care of your daughter and playing with her while you're at work?
@rikki.ferguson one of the reasons why I got a job to save up and go. I get that comment a lot
And throw his game out the window. What a shit
