Just need to vent..lazy DH!!

So i'm on bedrest for 2 reasons..one would be whatever the hell is going on with my spleen and the other would be my fractured ankle. So no doing anything without help pretty much.
Our house is trashed!! I mean trashed...and i've asked DH to clean up a bit for the last 3 days..NOTHING has gotten done..in fact as of last night it has goten worse because DH decided to throw a BBQ (with our house disgustified!!) and not clean up any of the aftermath.
Obviously I know that taking care of DD all by yourself is hard (although she sits in our room with me a lot during the day), and that it's hard to keep up on the house and such. But seriously?!! I mean you can't clean after yourself as you make dinner..or do the dishes as soon as everyones done? Or pick up your flipping coke cans that are currently lying all over our living room?!!
So last night I got up out of bed, wrapped my foot as best as I could and hobbled around cleaning up as much as I could manage..which wasn't much but our living room was way cleaner...Doing that ended up making my foot and side (spleen?) hurt like hell so now i'm completely down for the count.
Icing on the cake and the last straw that led to me posting this just so I wouldn't rip his lazy head off? This morning I again got up and fed DD, turned on Little Einstiens, changed her (which involves carrying her) and went back to sleep because he refused to get up. It is 3 P.M.!! and what is he doing? SLEEPING on the couch..so I tell him hey it's time for you to get up..i'm tired..i'm not supposed to be doing this and I can't anymore..He gets all huffy and sits up..best part? he's sleeping again..nothing is getting done ever unless I do it apparently...grrrrr
Oh and if you got this far you deserve kuddos hugs and a adult beverage of your choice lol

Re: Just need to vent..lazy DH!!
Yep. After multiple attempts at playing nice, this is kind of where I get pushed to too. Is he in denial about needing to step up or just doesn't care about cleanliness? My DH and I have very different opinions on what is "company clean" and "clean in general."
It really is that he doesn't care..as long as he can walk (even if it's on top of stuff) he doesn't see the need to clean. I presonally can't stand to live in it..it's gross and embarassing and it makes things like making dinner or a simple bottle difficult (if I have to clear out a sink to wash a bottle &make it)... He still hasn't cleaned anything but he has been waiting on me lol..which is nice..but honestly i'd rather have a clean house.
Mmm...ill just take a double shot of tequila...1800...chilled
can you tell im stressed also?
On a serious note...i wish i could offer advice, but i have a similar problem with my DH. He isnt even working right now (or for my entire pregnancy). And just got mad at me for cutting back my hours as a cna, which is VERY physical work, lifting and caring for the elderly! Never mind the fact that iv been hospitalized twice during this pregnancy, dr has since cleared me to work though.
::HUGS:: to you, i hope things get better. Maybe you and DD can stay with family for a few days or so, not to give him a break, but to get some relief and actual help for yourself. I wish i could, but my family is all 6hrs away and if i leave i would have to quit my job, which i literally cant afford to do.
