Does anybody else's H do this?

We get home from being gone most of the day and he sits down on the couch and passes out. I'm here so I guess it's not a big deal but this would never fly if the tables were turned. He'd be biitching and moaning about it and FFS I'm the one that's pregnant. Is it just mine or do other husbands pass out not worrying about the kids and all the things that need to get done?

He will sometimes if he's really tired, but he also doesn't have a problem with me doing the same.

I'm sure he wants to, but I find the phrase 'here, take your baby' passes through my lips quite often.

Yes. He probably wouldn't moan too much if I did it every once in a while but he wouldn't get it if I made a habit of it.

We both do. While I would be annoyed as far as someone needing to deal with the children, when it comes to "all the other things that need to get done" if it does, great, it not sleep was worth it. As far as cleaning etc, whatever, if its dinner, then I guess its a pizza or a burger night. I just can't make myself get frustrated over stuff needing to be done.

Never. I'm the one who does, LOL. In fact, I think I'm about to take a little nap right now and it's almost 5 pm.

What irks me is that on weekends, he will sit and play his video games and when DD gets up, I am always the one who gets her out of her crib, change diaper, make her breakfast and sit/eat with her...while he is in the other room playing his games.

I think the only thing that makes me not say anything most of the time is that he works 2 jobs...about 60 hours a week and the weekends he has off are the only time he gets to just sit down. But, with that said...I also work 40 hours outside the home so I do speak up sometimes.

I don't have kids so it is a little different. But it only irks me when DH is sleeping till 10 o nthe weekends and only works a part time job. I get up at 6 am and do all the chores etc. While he strolls out of bed at 10 am! That is the only thing that irks me.

My H just sits on the couch while I load the dishes after dinner and he sits there watching me fold the laundry and run around and wants me to come sit with him. Sometimes I do but I can't relax until chores are done. I'm better at asking for help now. If he wants to play a video game with me I tell him after he helps me fold the laundry etc... and he's pretty good about it, but having to ask annoys me. I just want him to take initiative sometimes.
