Don't I deserve some slack?

Working full time and having a toddler has made this pregnancy a lot more work than the first time around.  However, my husband is determined to have me work up until my due date.  (I teach.)  With that being said, shouldn't he be helping me out a little more?  He's had to work weekends so I'm at home with ds.  That in itself is a lot of work!  He takes two days off during the week and stays home with our son one of those days.  So he gets a whole day to himself!  Lately all he's done is nag about me not picking up ds's puzzles, not cleaning out my car, leaving stuff on my bedside table, not doing this or that, etc.  I'm sorry, but overall our house is very clean and organized.  I'm 30 weeks pregnant and if I'm going to make it until my due date, I'm going to have to slow down, right?  I just think I deserve some slack.  What do you think?

    You husband is a douche.  Tell him he is being a douche - end of story.

    When my husband started complaining about the house being messy, I got a quote from a maid service...and he happily hired them. It was my "I can't do no more with this belly" stance.

    I agree with the PP that said your husband is being a douche.  He needs to pull his weight around the house and he has no idea how you are feeling so should not be telling you when you can start maternity leave.  If something is bothering him then he can clean it up.  The baby is 50% his and he sjhould be doing at least 50% of the work

    I agree, your husband requires a swift (if you can) kick to the behind. 

    I'm super happy that mine has picked up my slack.  He won't let me anywhere near dishes or a vacuum cleaner.  He would do all the cooking too, but he's flavour-challenged when it comes to preparing meals.

    Yeah- yesterday my DH told me in the car that he would be happy to help me out, I need to stop stressing so much, and let him help me.  Well, we get inside the house & DD poops and takes her diaper off and it's everywhere!  I told him-Take care of it :)  He was so frustrated & disgusted that he didn't talk to me for 30 minutes. lol 

    As for your DH- Just tell him NO!  Tell him to clean up & all that.  Let him realize how hard it is!!!

    Sounds like your husband kinda sucks and only thinks about himself. Swift kick to the balls may be in order. Why do you let him dictate when your pregnant self is leaving work? He needs to step up and be less of a sh!tty man. Plain and simple. I don't understand these husbands ... or wives.
