What do you think of this text?

I have been together with my partner for 10 years and have five kids together but we are always fight over everything from taking care of kids Basically all our fight is about kids none stop so I’m tired of this and I need some advice of what to do or I’m over reacting. Message below is from him try to describe me as a bad person. I got up this morning got kids ready for school dropped them off was back, start preparing breakfast and lunch for other kids went shopping and was back plus my have to go to drop off my other kids to his therapy appointment after all of that he sent me that message 👇🏾 "I wish you know how disorganized, abusive, angry ...... & stubborn you are!!!!

On top of that I wished you could listen & take advice.

Everyone is suffering in this house including this hungry baby who can’t stop crying right now, all because of what I just mentioned above besides your miscalculation of things, time & wrong decisions"

if you have more bad days than good days together, then it’s time to end it. The kids will be the ones that suffer especially if the parents are always fighting and unhappy together.

Ok…does he work while you stay home with rhe kids or do you work while he stays home or is it half and half? If he works and you stay home,then kids are your responsibility. However…he should help out some when off work. My husband will take off work if i have a drs appt and watch the kids. However…we own our own business so it wont count against us if he takes off. It just depends on the situation. Sit down and work it out. Society is too much about get up and walk away lately. Giving up too easy. Those kids wont understand why if do…and it is hard for kids to adjust to a change like that…

Well, look, I don’t think anyone should say “you don’t listen” like first of all I’m not ur fuckin child, jot that down. But, I do think you need to ask him to elaborate on the rest of the situation. Like, if there is a problem you could work on, why wouldn’t you? If there’s a problem with him, then make sure you tell him to work on that too.

He is an adult and a father. He can deal with things if you aren’t around or haven’t done things just so. Sounds like he just wants you to have everything done so he doesn’t have to do anything. Has he always been like this or is this something new? You guys either have to work together or things will just get worse.

So you knew he had this behavior and you just kept having a kids ??? This behavior does not pop up because of just the kids . Did you both ever communicate on this many kids or he just likes the fact you did everything or does he feel you do everything in an angry mood and he helps or does not help ?? So many holes in the explanation of why the text . If you left a crying baby and he can’t deal or never has learned to feed or live with a crying baby or multitask as you do you just had 5 kids with a boy and not a man .Your asking for advice instead of saying you have communicated all this to him and he ignores or chooses not to hear or help . We all get overwhelmed and snap at our kids when overtired especially when everyone is used to us doing it all and they just sit back and expect it . That behavior was apparently tolerable or you would of not kept having children to get to number 5 .I’m sure he’s always been this way and you just now had enough ?? Two choices communicate all this and work through it or pack his bag or yours and leave with your kids . Show your kids that men do not behave like this with a family . Easy choice . Communicate fix or leave.

I’m disappointed in a lot of these comments, praying and a date won’t help :sweat_smile: if my partner messaged me saying the baby is crying hungry and it’s my fault for being unorganized….oh boy would I LOSE it. He can feed the kid instead of crapping on her. Takes two to tango, they BOTH need to contribute and work on positivity/co-parenting. Very clearly sounds like he is around for all this….he is just as responsible for taking care of the children. And trust me I would be angry and unorganized if I did everything for 5 kids by myself with a useless partner.

Sounds like there is no communication btw you. Sit down and discuss the text. He’s asking you if you know or realize this is how he perceives you. Ask him why. 5 kids are hard. It will take both of you to raise them. Even if you split it will still take both of you to raise them but it will also take the people you end up with if it’s not you two. Strangers will be raising your children. Think about it. If you don’t have communication you don’t have a relationship. Sounds to me like he wants to talk about how you are so busy he feels put upon. Work it out together as adults. Not screaming immature adults. God bless.

Sorry, I can’t get past the hungry baby part to even give an opinion… is the baby ok?? That’s the real issue here… :flushed:

Have you had a conversation with him? Most men, don’t know what a wife/mother goes through daily. Some don’t realize and others just don’t care. Step one is to address it with him. If he gets defensive and nothing changes, it might be time to tell him goodbye, regardless of how long you’ve been with him or how many kids you have with him. If you have addressed the issue with him and he just doesn’t care, then he’s showing you that he just doesn’t care, and it’s time for him to go. The women who tend to the kids, cook, clean, work, maintain the house, basically do it all on their own, might as well be alone. You’re gonna be doing it all on your own with him there or not, might as well take the negativity and abuse out of your life. You’ll be alot happier.

I would leave for at least 3 days and nights… let’s see how well he manages, organises, makes choices, deals with timing etc. When it’s just him doing all the work. He would probably still fare better too because he won’t have someone standing over him judging and pointing out every error. :woman_facepalming:

Honestly if this keeps continuing seek marriage counseling and if there is still no change after that or any sort of progress then two homes are better than one at this point.

It doesn’t matter whose working, whose not or if you both are providing… it is BOTH parent’s responsibilities when it comes to your kids. That includes helping with messes and the kids needs.

He seems selfish and a narcissist. When kids are in bed sit him down and flat out tell him it’s time to get the help you guys need to fix your marriage and if he says no and fights about that too then there’s your answer

Sit down after a good meal, out of ear-shot of the kids … lay out on paper what has to be done every day, in order - then put his initial next to it, or yours.
Put that on the front of the 'frig.

Are his hands broken. Can he not drop off kids at school or step up and make breakfast or get the others dressed and ready? Sounds like you do everything and all he can do is complain if the kids are bothering him. Leave the ass and you would have one less ungrateful man child to take care of.

So you fuss when he tries to help? When he tries to give advice, do you get offended instead of hearing him out?
Y’all need therapy bc it sounds like neither of you listen to the other & look to lay blame for some moral superiority.
Grow tf up.

Maybe he should fucking feed the baby, then.

Sounds like you have a hard time taking criticism and you are that mom that has zero time management so you run around the house like a chicken with your head cut off yelling at everyone while patting your self on the back that you do everything and your husband is sick of the attitude because in reality you didn’t accomplish anything. Everyone wants to be the victim in their version of the story, and I’m
Sorry but you aren’t the victim here. Put your ego aside, grab a piece of paper and sit down at the table with your husband. Make a damn list of the routines for each child including yourselves and what needs to be done the following day. Then use realistic time expectations for each task. Then set out what you can to shorten that list. You and your husband take tasks equally and work together. You’re a team, it’s not about you or him it’s about all of you. Stop working against each other and start working together.

I feel like there is more to the story.

It sounds like a problem for a therapist. I recommend marriage counseling and if he’s not willing to do it then maybe rethink what kind of partner you want

Classic example of having too much on your plate. And not having the right person to handle it with. He was out of line. Sounds like you’re already stretched too thin.

Why he left the baby cry of hunger??? He can even take care of that ??
It is his responsibility tooo !!! I’ve been there so you better take a decision!! U wanna live like that ???

I am really appalled at the kind of advice I’m seeing on this thread. No one knows key details such as if the father is the sole breadwinner, if the woman works etc.
Yes these things do make a difference and we literally read one message filled with holes and everyone is automatically giving the man the wrong here, even advising the woman to leave.
This is why homes are broken up due to terrible advice.
No one is considering the full picture or what the husband is feeling.
No one knows if she is in fact disorganized and toxic. No one has an idea of what is really going on, yet here we are , reading one text and concluding on this situation where we made the man a victimizer.

The only advice here would be to seek therapy, and if therapy didn’t work out, then do what’s best for the kids.

Stop encouraging separation when you don’t even know the full context of the story!

This is BS

I can tell you’re overwhelmed with all the kids and everything you need done every day. He has time to complain about the hungry baby but instead of putting you down, is it not more important to him to help out and make sure baby is fed? Sounds like he expects you to do everything and honestly even the most organized person can start losing it after constant taking care of home and kids with no break. I’ve been there and I’m honestly just trying to take it day by day, but it’s so hard. He’s telling you that you’re making bad decisions, etc. Sounds like it’s more convenient for him to put you down but what is he doing around the house to help out, other than the verbal and, mental and emotional abuse which is obviously making things even worse for everyone…That’s one thing about emotional and mental abuse, it’s hard to explain to others and pin point at a specific thing. And it’s hard for others to see it, unless they experienced it themselves. I can definitely tell he’s comfortable in putting you down, which probably happens often enough to stress you out even more on top of everything you need to deal with. I’m sorry for what you’re going through but unfortunately I don’t have any advice. If he is what I imagine him to be, he will most likely never change or start taking responsibility as in his mind, he’s already perfect and doing nothing wrong.

Only if she wants to escalate the argument rather than solve the problem.

Or if she is a ignorant classless idiot…

A normal, intelligent person who try to discuss the issues.
Why does he feel like this?
Why a text and not a face-to-face conversation?
