I don't know if this is an opinion, confession, or rant but here goes: I would not put up with half the sh*t your SO's get away with!! MH changes just as many diapers, gives just as many baths, helps with just as many naps, and feeds just as many meals as I do!
I agree completely! The way some of you describe it, your SO barely interacts with your child or acts/feels incapable of caring for LO on their own. Whenever I read those kind of rants or ones where SO doesn't help at all around the house, with errands, etc. my reaction is WFT is wrong with these people and why do these women put up with it?! I realize sometimes people are just irritated and venting and many SOs aren't as irresponsible and uninvolved as they seem from one post, but it seems that some are. You ladies are great and deserve more! You are both equal parents and should take on equal parenting duties!!

So... I'm supposed to just give up and get a divorce? This really pisses me off and I'm about to f-ing cry at work.
DH and I talked a TON about having kids and what our roles would be as husband and wife before we got married and about parenting before I got pregnant. Well, he didn't live up to his side of the deal. And I'm sure I haven't done 100% of what I said I'd do either.

I feel like you guys are just boasting about your perfect husbands and your perfect lives and your perfect children.

Sorry my life isn't perfect.

[runs away to go cry my face off]

1. I'm very sorry to have upset you. That was not my intention. Frankly, I'm upset for those of you who seem to be struggling with these issues.

2. My life isn't perfect. My husband has plenty of flaws and so do I. I didn't say a damn thing about my life being perfect or even what my husband does/doesn't do. I cannot see how my response was "bragging". I agree with those who find it irritating that everyone is supported when they vent/complain/whine about their SOs, but when someone mentions that their SO simply shares in the workload, they are seen as bragging. It's a little ridiculous.

3. In no way did I say you should get a divorce. It's obviously your marriage and you know what you are or aren't willing to put up with. If it were me and my husband wasn't holding up his end of the deal, we'd be having serious talks, probably going to counseling, etc. Not doing his part with his kids/our household isn't acceptable to me, so it's hard for me to understand how it is acceptable to others.

@cmcmillan0901 Yes! Don't talk about it! And also, stop bragging about how Addison is hitting all her milestones early! You she devil!

How selfish of me! I forgot I can only come here to complain
