The bible say honor thy mother and father period.
I took care of my parents all my life and worked. Took time off work and went 23 hundred miles to to it. Luckily I did not get fired. Took two kids with me. Spent 3 months with her to the end. Loved her and she was a GREAT Mother
Do what feels right for you, but it seems as you don’t mind helping, so don’t stop because it bothers him, he isn’t the one doing it. My parents both passed and I only wish I could help them. He can help with housework too, you both work, so what makes him so special that he has you done everything for him?

You are being warned… please don’t ignore it. The way he is acting is a precursor to a toxic relationship. Sit down, think deeply about what you will, and will not accept, and then talk to him about it. Straightforward and to the point. Ask what he will and will not accept. If ya’ll can’t find middle ground with very clear lines, you have a decision to make. Please trust me on this… it starts with little things, backed by guilt trips and “I only want/do this because I love you” crap. It gets worse. Way worse. I could understand an honest caring about your wellfare if your parents lean on you for everything and take up a large amount if your to-do list. But if they don’t, then it smells like BS to me. Has he encouraged you to get out for some time with friends or fam without him? If he hasn’t, and does not approve of any breaks without him, then your parents asking for help isn’t the problem. He’s already started the isolation part. Abuse isn’t just physical beatings. Also, keep in mind, you and your husband are teaching your kids how they should act, and what they should put up with in their marriages. Be strong in following through with what feels right to YOU.

Wow! He’s jealous of your parents and wants to be in control of you… plain and simple. As long as you are able to help them and you don’t feel taken advantage of I’d tell him screw him and his opinion!
I guess it depends… You said what you do for him… And to most that sounds great. But as with anything maybe you’re tired is also taking time from him, or what is important for him too. You say you do it after you’ve done all this other stuff… But maybe there is something important to him you are neglecting. Or seeing you tired, knowing your parents can handle some of this or their other children… Not saying cut them off, but if this was hubby always doing for his parents when he has a wife, child… We don’t know his side… Wanting your spouse to focus on the family you created is not some horrific thing. And we only hear how it is doing, stressing you… Maybe instead of assuming he is fully taken care of… find out why. Maybe he is a sh!t partner, but maybe he is not… And hate for you to find out later… His needs are met elsewhere 
.
If he truly loves you, he would respect your concerns & feelings you have about your parents. He should be supporting you, not chastising you!
sounds like a jerk nobody should be having to choose or answer to any housework not being done…thats should be team work whether or not he works he seems like an entitled piece of shit make him help out more around the house if its such a problem acting like bn a mom is so dam easy…grrrr thats not cool at all…
It sounds like you know he’s a complete a-hole. And he’s wrong too! So…🤷
Please don’t cut yourself out from your families life. To me he is trying to isolate you so you have no one. If someone is giving you “the talk” because certain things never got done that day… here’s your red flag. Don’t ignore them to only be the reason you leave in the future.

First and foremost… You continue to help your parents!!! He doesn’t even help HIS little family (you and child) out. So he should shut the fuck up!!!
It sounds like your SO is trying to alienate you from everyone. And Bc you’re not giving into his control he has outbursts (tantrums). I bet you when he’s nice… all is so amazing. But when he’s anything else but nice - you ponder which is the real him!!! I’m sure you even blame yourself!!! Don’t do that!!! The ugly nasty person he becomes… is the real him!!! It sounds like you’re with a narcissist. If you’re not married to him… never ever do that!!!
I’d advise you to sit and analyze his behavior Bc I’m positive there’s other signs. Maybe you just haven’t noticed them. They’re such great charmers but don’t believe the fuxkin hype!!! Seriously… plan you’re fuxkin escape. I promise you it’ll never get better… only worse !!! (If you do leave… brace yourself for his erratic behavior. And, don’t let him use your child as leverage to YOU!!!)
Sending you protection, strength and healing energies.

Tell him your an adult and you will decide for yourself you don’t need his approval in this .You also work from home so instead of bitching about what you do for your parents perhaps he should step up and do some of the housework if you are working and caring for a child it shouldn’t be all down to you.

Sounds like you do plenty and more for him, bit of jealously going on here i think. Your parents will always be there for you and your friends, dont push them away for you to be wishing you hadnt later in time. Hes just a man not your lifeline, keep that in mind when he manipulates you in this way.

Perhaps compromise? Help your parents on with their needs on certain days of the week and the rest spend with your family. This way your husband doesn’t feel that your being overworked and you can still help your parents out.
Your husband sounds like an immature CONTROL freak!!! He wants to know what you DO all day??? THAT is NOT okay at all!!! He is supposed to LOVE and SUPPORT you as his partner!!! NOT treat you like a slave!!! SHEESH!!!
First how is his relationship with his parents and family? That is a big clue on why he has expectations on your family dynamic with your parents. We are all brought up different and have different relationships with our parents. This doesn’t excuse the pressure he is putting on you, because of how he feels your relationship with your parents should look like. Seems like you do the bulk of the caretaking for your household, how does he help? Just because you are a mom doesn’t mean the entire responsibility falls on you. That’s a whole other issue that should be addressed. In a marriage it will always be a team effort and not a majority of responsibilities on one person. He also needs to know that he isn’t going to dictate the type of relationship you will have with your parents and that using them as an excuse to make you feel like you are not keeping up with “your” responsibilities at home, when in fact they fall on him as well! Best of luck!

The beginning of an abusive relationship always starts like this. They isolate you from your friends, your family, your co workers and anyone else that would get in the way of him abusing you. Get out while you can. Run for the hills.

What goes around comes around, you are being a great role model for your children, they learn what they see.

Do not let this foolish man change your values tell him to back off and you go girl , lots of good karma in your future.

I think you need to have a sit down thorough talk with your husband, explain to him that it’s not your parents making things hard for you and that is just your parent-child relationship, ask him how he would feel if someone got between his child and him. Try to get him to understand. I wouldn’t lie to him about helping, as long as boundaries are in place so its not taking 100% of your time, you should always still have time to care for yourself, its truly not his say, its not his parents. It doesn’t sound like he sees it from your point of view right now, which needs to change for him to stop pestering you about this specific topic.

Don’t feel bad for helping your parents. I’m self employed and some weeks I work 80 hours. But when one of my parents call for help I help. I’m the youngest of my mother’s 4 and the middle of my father’s 5. My parents weren’t really there for me when growing up but I still make sure that I help them if they need it. My other half doesn’t mind and even if he did I would still do it. I know that if I need something they help. That’s what you do for family. It’s one thing if they are taking advantage of you but that’s not what you are describing.

I replied" you said I didn’t do anything, in the day, so today I didn’t so you could notice the difference. …he didn’t say it anymore, and I went back to what I usually did.

Keep helping your parents. Set the example for your kids how to treat and care for their family, so the cycle of this kindness can keep keeping on! Remind your husband you care for your own clan in the same way, and likely his parents if/when the time comes that they need help. Which… it likely will. We all get older and need help. I’m not sure if its not impeding on your time or resources why your SO gets bothered… but just be mindful of whatever you do… or how you respond to his resistance those little eyes are watching. Sounds like you’re great family to have!

This doesn’t sound like a big deal that they occasionally ask you something and I’m not sure what not being the oldest has to do with it. Honestly it sounds like your husband is trying to control you. He wants to make sure you are doing everything for him and if you are doing something for your parents you might not get everything done that he wants. Tell him that if he is really concerned about you being overworked by booking and appointment for them he is welcome to step in and help with the house work unless he thinks he shouldn’t have to do that stuff and thats only your job.

It sounds like he wants to isolate you from your parents. They’re your parents and they’re not great with English. They’re not asking you to do everything for them they’re just asking for some help here and there which is what your SO should be doing. Helping you here and there since you BOTH live in that home and the baby is BOTH of yours. Having an infant is a LOT of work and you’re doing so much keeping the household running. He sounds very toxic and somewhat mentally abusive tbh
I just lost my Dad 2 weeks ago. A piece of my heart is empty. If you are happy helping them and it sounds like you are then please Don’t let anyone come between you and your parents. They have always been there for you I assume now it’s time for you to be there for them. They won’t be around forever.

Your poor excuse of a husband is just being selfish. He wants you just for him. Don’t ever stop helping your parents. Once they’re gone you’re going to miss them.
My mother died when I was 5, my dad when I was 9. I would GIVE ANYTHING to be able to do something for them, help them, have them around, etc… but I can’t. Please, if your SO can’t understand that those are your family, your mom and dad, they are so important to you, and he can’t allow you to have the relationship you want to have and need to have with them, then he needs to go, I’m sorry to say it like that but I’m so serious. One day they won’t be there, and you’ll be like me, wishing you could see them just one more time.

From the sound of it, your husband is not pulling his weight at home. You are both working full time, but you’re taking care of the baby, the house, and your husband. You’re also cooking dinner every night. He should really be supporting you with household chores and child duties, because you really have 2 full time jobs with all of that.
I’m concerned about “the talk” you mentioned. It’s impossible to do everything in a shared household, and it’s understandable if something doesn’t get done. Does he belittle you about not doing it all? Do you leave those conversations feeling bad about yourself? If so, I wonder if he is abusive.
I’m also concerned about him trying to isolate you from family. You are allowed to support your family members in whatever way you choose and trying to make you cut them off in this way may also indicate abuse. I hope it all works out for you and let me know if you need any support or resources.

I am sorry but, this is how my previous abusive relationship started. He claims that your parents are burdening you, but in reality he wants all of your focus to be on him. It starts with the gaslighting, followed by the snide comments, and then the isolation. Once you are completely isolated is when he has you right where he wants you. I honestly wouldn’t stop doing for my parents just because he can’t man up and be supportive. I wouldn’t stay anymore.

Keep the parents, dump the hubs.
If you are putting your family first (as in your child and your husband), why does he have a problem with it? Your parents raised you into the devoted mother & wife you are today. In my opinion, he’s selfish & would much prefer you to be dictated by ‘whatever’ it is that he expects of you. Set some boundaries, but pulling you away from your family is not a good sign.

I think that is selfish unless they wronged you in a very bad way!!! I dumped many boyfriends because they tried to make me not see my mom. It was over. My family means something to me. I only have one mom. He also sounds like an asshole who doesnt deserve you. Just because you work at home doesnt mean you DONT work. Tell him to pitch in at home so you can not be so tired. Then go visit your family. If he doesnt like it divorce his ass.
As someone who lost her Dad on February 3rd, I’d tell him to kiss my ass and if he didn’t like that he could go out the same door he came in…
Your SO is a significant asshole. He needs counseling. If he doesn’t agree to get help for HIS problem, kick his ass out.
Keep helping your parents and stop doing so much around the house. You work a full time job from home so he can also come home and do some damn house work, not ask what you’ve done all day. It’s ok to tell him you took some time for yourself and he can pick up some slack or shut his mouth about it.
I’m kind of in the same boat as you but there is differences that I want to point out. Yes I help my parents do small things here and there hell I even do big tasks for them too. My brother is diagnosed with autism and epilepsy and I took him to his doctors appointment and my husband encouraged me to take him. Of course I have the respect of telling him what will be happening and he has no problem with it. At the end of the day your parents raised you and have far more worth then your husband does. Don’t loose your parents for a person who probably doesn’t care about his own parents.
Tell him to fuck off lol
This guy sounds really controlling. I’m sorry, but: You are working full time from home, raising a 6 month old baby, and keeping the house and laundry up. Why the fuck does he think you are tired all the time?! Keep helping your parents. And maybe give some serious thought about this relationship. It’s completely normal for both of you to be tired and irritable with a 6 month old baby. (I know this is a snapshot of behavior, but it’s a really disturbing snapshot.) Controlling or domineering personalities do not get better on little sleep, and the stress that comes with parenting does not decrease, it just changes it’s nature. He will be stressed out about parenting for the rest of your life; believe me, I know of what I speak, it does not get easier. If he keeps giving you grief about being exhausted after a full day of parenting an INFANT on top of housework on top of working from home; if he keeps USING you as a scapegoat for his own anxiety, really really think about if you want to take your precious baby and help your parents full time. From their home.
Wow I thought you were going to mention money if you don’t mind helping with things like that he shouldn’t be on you. Like it seems he’s almost jealous, trying to find an excuse to be hard on you when it seems like your doing a pretty darn good job. You mentioned how he just started working again so what’s his deal? He should remind himself how busy in a day it can be and he can’t try and stress you out already then you are with everything your dealing with during the day. If he had a complaint he should help too otherwise he should shut it and let you be. It sounds like your doing a great job. I would talk to him, try and find a way to come up with something so if he sees your tired help you out or give you a massage or something not come home and complain after clearly not seeing each other all day
First of all, sounds like you’re doing EVERYTHING in the house and he wasn’t even working a full time job? And he has the nerve? I
would’ve just left, yeah sounds harsh and whatever but he sounds like he’s trying to control you from your family and honestly this is how it starts. It’s not like you’re giving them money 
I will never stop helping my family, financially or with other things. He’s sounds selfish. No way would I take that.

“Why does the house look like this?! The bathroom is flooded and the baby is covered in crusted food and a dirty diaper!”
“Well, remember when you asked what I do all day? I didn’t do any of it today. You’re welcome to go ahead and do it though. I’ll be at my parents’ if you have any questions. Good luck!”
Yeah. Sounds like you have a financial helper not a partner… not even a provider since you both work! That takes nerve. Don’t be a doormat. Do what you can handle when you want to handle it. He can do the rest. F-ck that noise.
