Haha, he knows better! I have left our son with him before to go spend time with friends. And he understands that he can't get anything else done with him around :)
We did sit down and agree on a list of things that need to be done daily, weekly, monthly...etc. On his days off, he helps with these things. But otherwise I try to get them done. It doesn't happen everyday. But he knows what I'm doing though :)

yes he goes out in the morning and by the time he gets home i have the house cleaned child ready fed and dinner waiting! he comes in tramples dirt into my nice clean floor and throws his clothes on the floor, doesnt do a dish or even put washing into hamper! and in the middle of the night he will make himself toast or somthing and leave the dirty knife on the sideboard along with the crumbs!!!!!

he phones me the next day while in work "what you doing today? well going to the park! you not going to clean?" well i have cleaned

Exactly what does he think that i do all day? how does he think the house gets clean and tidy (thank you house elves)

My god it is never ending but i am not sitting in the house all day doing nothing and when im finished cleaning i want to do something with my daughter!

he is so dim!!!! he thinks that taking the dish into the kitchen is enough work for him! he wont even help me put the child to bed!!!

I've never called anybody over for help, even when I have a migraine, but my boyfriend does say I'm spoiled and I have it easy and all I do is sit around and watch tv all day. Because even if I didn't have a kid, daytime TV is really worth watching right?

Men just got to accept it and move on. They never change theres no point moaning at them because they have the deaf ear to nagging lol so just keep putting laxatives in their tea when they get really annoying and try not to let them get to you lol. Mmmmmm Bon bons havent had those in years.

Best 3 days ever tho... doin nothing. But was not worth cleaning it up haha

I got the feeling too! Apparently I sit on my bum and do nothing all da but sit and watch tv or play the computer! I dont have severe varicose vein in my legs from doin nothing all dang day! So i took another moms advice from on here and went on strike. I stopped cleaning. I could only take it for 3 days before the house was a pig stye! Even my doctor tells me i need slow down but I dont. Men just dont get it. Kids, cleaningand cooking, and more cleaning is a bitch and they dont seem to care. All because they actually leabe the house once and we stay at home and take care of kids and the house.

What's funny (or sad really) is that my husband was a SAHD while he was laid off... and I worked. I would come home from work, after working all day, and he would hand off my son to me upon my walking through the door, and relax for the rest of the evening. I didn't even get a frickin' break between work and taking care of my son. Now I am finally winding down work to be a SAHM for a while - which I look forward to - but we all need down time and breaks no matter how attentive we are to our children. It would be funny though for me to hand off my son when he walks through the door after working all day. Moms are truly expected to do everything - take care of the kids 24-7, clean the house, keep up on laundry, tend to all the family errands... now my husband wants me to pay all the bills and keep track of all that crap. I could scream!!! When is my break???

You should have your hubby walk in your shoes for just one weekend - I bet he'd have a whole level of appreciation that he hasn't felt.... Maybe plan a trip with a friend... travel...

Every single day. He seems to think I twiddle my thumbs and sit on the couch and eat bon bons all day.
I get migraines too ugh. They put me out for the DAY too.
I don't think men understand how hard being a SAHM is. I would love to go to work! It's just not amicable, I would be paying to work.
