My boyfriend complains I do nothing around the house: Advice?

If you had asked “Am I being lazy??” I woulda been like girl hold my oatmeal pie (but don’t eat it) and given you an essay on why you definitely aren’t and why you definitely need to boot him to the curb. Tell him to grow up, stop making excuses, put down the video games and get a job!!

Playing video games, he could be doing other things to help you. Grown ups with responsibilities don’t play video games.

So I have the same problem but my SO and I work about the same number of hours. But I feel like that means we both need to work together and do house things and things for the kids. I always have to get myself and 2 kids ready to go to work/babysitters. We leave for work at the same time and the biggest argument we have had is when I asked if he could run upstairs and get some clothes for our 4 year old lol

They always want a giant trophy and 2 weeks of praise every time they so much as pick up a f**king sock as if they ever really would!

unfortunately my boyfriend works full time while I stay home with our 4 month old. we cant afford daycare if I went back to work. We have the same issues where I am in school fulltime in addition to taking care of our baby and expected to do the wifely duties of cooking and keeping the place clean. Unfortunately even after many arguments and discussions my boyfriend still doesnt get how I can be at home all day and get “nothing” done. He needs to experience what you do. I dont know if taking a day for yourself and leaving your bf with the kids + a list of stuff to do would work, but I think that’s what I’ll have to do with mine.

Kick him out. That is a ridiculous way to treat the mother of your children. Super disrespectful. You should have a couple surveillance cameras put around your home.

First of all he needs to get a job and help with finances, he is perfectly capable. And second off, 5 kids is a lot to handle, if he does the cleaning and cooking while you deal with the kids it sounds like y’all are both doing y’all’s fair share (besides the fact that he doesn’t have a job) but having 5 kids is going to be hard and stressful even with you both putting in 100%

Yeah that’s bullshit. If you’re footing the bill for the household expenses and therefore enabling him to go to school, he can clean. Seems fair.

But real talk, id kick him out

Well that’s just horrible how “lazy” you are and never do anything 🤦 Seriously though I would have a serious talk with him to try to get him to realize who’s really doing everything and who’s pretending to be.

If you’re asking , it’s bc you know he’s wrong. You either need to let him go or continue to be treated like that . Dealing with kids is a job itself , if he can’t understand that then there’s the door

I mean , he needs to stop complaining , and tbh just think of things as if the roles were switched… because you do all of that , doesn’t mean that you can’t help out around the house either , you live there to after all…I mean I see tons of post from stahm on a daily basis who complains that their husbands do everything you do and they still expect him to come home and do something…I’m sure if you were at home and this post was about him helping out even though he does all of that , plenty of women would be down his throat , talking about he can at least take out the trash, he could at least fold the clothes, he could at least give the kids a bath…it’s team work …not split chores and complain about who does more…cuz truth be told , if he leaves you will be mad af and then saying that he didn’t even think of the kids or how much help you would need…

You go to work and leave all the responsibility on him. That is not a working relationship

Tell him he’d better start putting money on the table for some of this to get hired done, or do it himself.
You didn’t ask for advice to find out if you’re in the wrong. You came here for validation. Explain to him that you actually do a lot, he’s being unreasonable and lazy, and if he doesn’t want to take over cooking, or cleaning at least five of those five days he’s not at school, he can shove off.

So he stays home with the 5 kids while you work, and he goes to college a couple of days of the week(which, let’s be honest, doesn’t mean he’s only doing school work two days a week either- there’s always tons of work and studying to do outside of school). Sounds like a regular “stay at home mom” situation. I’ve been a stay at home mom for years (along with college student and work at home mom all at the same time too). A lot of that “you don’t help” talk is frustration and tiredness. Yeah you go to work, but if he’s home taking care of 5 kids throughout the week, going to school full time, and also keeping up around the house at least a portion of the time, he isn’t a dead beat. He’s tired and probably kind of lonely.

Why can’t he stay up and play video games? He’s gotta have time to himself some time. Everyone has their thing. I stay up and sew later than I should just because I’m dying for a break without kids climbing on me and asking me for things, or feeling like I have to be up doing something.

Be grateful for each other and be understanding. You both have a lot going on.

Pack his shit, throw it outside

Hate to say it, but his using you for support. Sounds to me like you have 6 kids. One being his childish ass. You work hard for your family, considering your the only one bringing in income. He should be the one getting bitched at for being lazy! 2 classes a week, and not providing an income to the household. He better step up, and take role as stay at home dad when his not at classes. That or he needs to pack up his shit and go bye bye. He needs to treat you better, or you need to cut off his allowance. Lol

I worked a full time and part time, while i went to college full time also and was a single mother… he just wants everything done without doing anything. I used to put up with this but not anymore! Lol i found my man and he cleans, watches our 5 month old, does anything for me and i do anything for him. We both sacrifice immensely and blended our family so we together have 8. We don’t argue about that shit because we never feel that way towards one another because we do equal work. Sounds like your just on a different wavelength then him and he sounds immature and unable to sacrifice for his family. Sounds bad now but the relationship won’t last unless you both are on the same page. He wants to work you like a dog to live out HIS dream. BUILD YOUR OWN DREAM DONT KILL YOURSELF BUILDING HIS UNREALISTIC DREAM. I used to make posts like this and be so upset but always just dealt with it: not anymore. There really is someone out there who will love you for all you are and sacrifice so you can feel normal. Don’t settle for this I’m begging you. You don’t need to instruct a man or teach him what is expected. Real men know what’s expected and DO IT. He knows what’s expected of him and he doesn’t want to put the work in. Sounds like you guys aren’t building together sounds like he wants to just build himself. He’s too immature for you clearly and what is he adding to anything? He doesn’t even stay home with the kids? Are u serious? Makes your paycheck less because he’s lazy. You only have one life and your kids are only kids once!!! Don’t let them think this behavior is okay because it isn’t babe.

College full-time with classes only two days a week? Must be nice.

If his ass ain’t working and not paying bills he should be doing the cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands etc.
Shut off the video games, time to grow up some. Yeah watch movies and play games in your down time here and there but sounds like that’s priority.

No thanks, I’d kick him to the curb

I would go on strike. Let him get the kids cared for and the house clean. Then let him see how hard it is to do just a tenth of what you do each day.

Sounds like role reversal…

Y’all need to have a sit down and really talk thru your expectations and try to come to an agreement that works for both of you or this is going to keep coming up.

Tell him if he don’t like how things are then he can pack his shit and leave

My hubs is a full time dad, cooks, cleans and was going to school full time before he graduated. Your boyfriend needs to do better.

Sounds like a dead-beat

Man, I would have already kicked him to the curb! I have five kids as well, and they aren’t even my husbands, they’re from a ex husband and you know what? We both work full time, but around the house it’s 50/50 always! He even puts the kids on the bus. Takes them to preschool etc!!

Seriously. You don’t need that mess.

Needs to be a balance. Going to school 2 days a week still equals 20 or more hours per week to study and take tests, etc. Most of college is studying.
If he really is doing all the house work and doing college then it really is fair of him to ask for your help. Sorry… I completely 100% get it. I work full time and we finally got a balance somewhat. It’s always easy to point a finger. I say, tell him exactly what you need from him. My daughter’s dad does her hair now in the morning before school to help out. He packs her lunch if I don’t get the time. When I was in college 2 days per week there was soooo much stress on me between being a student, wife and mother. It’s hard as hell.
