rach80   10 #1 Posted October 13, 2009 Is there such a think???  Im in a relationship and we have a 5 year old daughter, we are not married but have been together for the last 7 years.  Is it too much to ask for him to help withth e housework ie put his washing in the wash basket, wash the pots, put washing machine on, hang washing out, bring washing in, fold washing ready to iron, iron washing, cook once in a while, hoover, tidy up after daughter, bath daughter, feed daughter, take daughter to school, dress daughter, play with daughter, spent some time with the family, put things away when you have used then wash sink down when had a shave, put a new toilet roll on when you have used it all, wash bath out when you have had one, make the bed, change the bedding, go out as a couple once in a while plus many more but I feel like im starting to rant x lol x  I dont want him to do all of these all of the time just some of them. Am I asking to much????  I feel like I have given up all the things I used to do and he still has the life he used to have eg season ticket, out with mates, xbox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

*binty* Â Â 10 #9 Posted October 13, 2009 if you've never trained him to do any of these things in 7 years - why do you just expect him to do these things now? Â He shouldn't need to be trained though, should he? Just him randomly helping out without being asked would be useful. The poor lady can't do everything herself!

Does he work full time though?  My bold - little bit of advice, you need to keep your own interests and your own circle of friends alive, and I mean real ones, not in the online world.
