Men 🥺
Me and my partner have 3 children together - been together for 7yrs now. He’s never been one to pull his weight all the time but he does some jobs around the house when asked (3/4 times mind).
This morning I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve had enough of getting the bare minimum. I’ve addressed it loads of times but nothing changes.
Every morning I wake up at 6:30 sort myself out, get the kids up give them breakfast sort their bags drinks & snacks, get them dressed, let the dog out and feed her, tidy up after the kids, put them in the car etc. I do all of this while my partner is still in bed at 8:20 when we leave at 8:30. I constantly ask for his help as I would like to just chill in the morning and not rush about but he never helps. I don’t drive so it’s hard and my son has autism so we can’t walk and some mornings are really hard to get him dressed etc.
I just don’t know what to do anymore 😭

Do you do all that and have a full time job as well? You might as well be single as you’ll still be doing that anyway
@Beckie my children are under the age of 6 and they help out more 🥺 it’s just hard as I don’t want to leave him I love him! But I’m drained and I’d rather not do it with him if this is how he chooses to be. 🥺
See I fell out of love with him over the years so it made it slightly easier for me, they just can’t expect us women to do absolutely everything xx

I left my ex partner for mostly this reason we have 3 kids together and I’m having a 4th that is also his but I’d rather do it all alone than be in that situation they are just pure lazy even when he’s around nearly every day he doesn’t do much with the kids let alone the house, I imagine all men aren’t the same but I’ve now been single for 5 years and the most help I get is my own 13 year old daughter and our 8 year old lad xx
