I'm realllly trying not to "nag" or be "that wife" but his help really isn't help. I want him to help and to do his part but no half assed. But when I tell him it's not right he gets pissy and says fine I won't do it anymore then.
Tonight I asked him to clean up since I did all of the making of dinner, grocery shopping, unloading the dishwasher and putting away of groceries while he told me about his day. I just came back up to the kitchen and my plate is still on the table, his and DS's are in the sink but not rinsed, not in the dishwasher, nothing. And there is all sorts of random crap on the table.
I even just noticed last night I asked him to take the garbage out. He took the bin to the curb but left the full bag in the can in the house.
I want to leave it and not care but instead I'm sitting her silently sulking that nothing can be done right unless I do it myself!
Re: Nice try DH
LOL! Ditto! I also have a 30 year old SIL leaving with us. It like having another H without ANY perks! (except her pay a third of the bills is nice).
Glad to know I am not alone. DH is just sperm, money & the occasional babysitter. I pretty much handle everything else. He says it is because I scare him away by not being nice which is a lie because even with sex, beer & good food he doesn't even try to help.
