Why can’t he get it?!

I feel you and it sucks. Mine are older now, 10, 6 and almost 3, but it the same shit different day. I'm super busy. I work full time, I take my oldest to soccer practice 3 nights a week, I take both the older kids to take care of 4 h rabbits every night that's not soccer. I pack all the kids snacks and make sure bags are ready.

My husband has been stay at home parent since December. He hasn't improved much. It's a constant struggle of me expecting him to have done something and him being clueless.

Last night I was at the rabbit barn with all 3 kids until 730pm. My parents fed us so we didn't have to worry about dinner but everytime I'm not doing dinner it's not ready when we get home from soccer or the barn around 730. Btw bed time has been 730-8 for ten years.

This morning I'm up and feeling overwhelmed because there are days worth is dishes in the sink and a mountain of laundry, and everything is just cluttered and dirty. And I'm angry.

He was home alone last night from 4 to 8. Did anything get done? I gripe about there being no clean dishes for breakfast and he looks up and says

"Was I supposed to do dishes last night?"

Wtf? Was I supposed to work all day, drive the kids around, help with animal care, come home make sure everyone's fed and the. Spend the 2 hours or take to get the 2 year old to sleep, then do the dishes?

I struggle to find time to make sure all the kids are bathed a few times a week, never mind me. Meanwhile he plays video games, keeps the TV on for our toddler and takes naps several times a week.

Sorry I went a bit overboard with the rant. I'm fed up.
