Husband wants a week off from parenting šŸ˜³

My husband is recently unemployed. He does barely any housework but cooks sometimes. I went back to work on 6 Jan and the kids are on school holidays. I WFH so I have been doing probably 20-30% of the parenting each day (between 9-5) plus 95% of parenting at other times (including night wakes). Today he announced he is "taking a break" for the next 7 days. He didn't say he would like to, he said he is. I understand this to mean he would like to do zero of the child caring responsibility for 7 days. .... He's fucking dreaming. So he genuinely expects me to WFH while simultaneously caring for the children while he SITS AROUND DOING NOTHING. To be clear. He's unemployed. Why the fuck does he think it's acceptable that I do all the housework, all the paid work and also all the child caring?

Oh also btw I gave him a blow job yesterday because he basically was a cunt to me and the kids and said if I want him to be nice, he requires a weekly blow job. And he pulls this shit today.... šŸ˜³šŸ˜³

Dump that trash.

Yeah I'd be gone in a flash āœŒļø running for the hills

Doesnā€™t sound like heā€™s bringing anything but stress and more demands to your life. Give him 7 days off on the condition that he leaves the house. Then you can see how much easier it is without him around. Personally, Iā€™d change the locks and file for divorce, he sounds like a leech.

Youā€™ve got to be kidding me. Wouldnā€™t we all love to announce to our responsibilities ā€œtaking a week off, see yaā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Wow, what an absolute CF šŸ˜„.

I have a million valid reasons for divorce but at present I haven't made that choice. Our marriage won't survive him being unemployed though, he better get a job fast.

Also we live with my parents and I'm about to go away for 2 days for work. And my dad for sure won't put up with his shit so he's not going to get to actually live his dream.

So wait āœ‹ļø you guys live with your parents and he still thinks it's okay for him to be a lazy piece of shit AND you have a "million other reasons" for a divorce? So not only is he not bringing anything to the table but now he doesn't want to accept his responsibilities as a father?? This is a joke right? I'd rather run for the hills atleast they'd be able to provide food and shelter and not ask for a blow job like a bitch! šŸ¤£ PATHETIC!!

@Francesca we moved in with my parents about 2 weeks ago. Previous, he worked full time and had a 2 hourly daily commute. And he did play with the kids on weekends. So he was "working hard". But now he's not working. And to me, not having a job is not a holiday. He already games for a few hours a day. And yet he wants....fewer responsibilities....šŸ˜³šŸ˜³ Like sir, it was your idea to have kids

Nah, girl. Nuh-uh. If he wants to do that, he can pack a bag and do it at his mumā€™s house. And fucking stay there too. There are no days off when youā€™re a parent. And he shouldnā€™t be focused on putting his feet up, he should be focused on LOOKING FOR A JOB. Man needs a kick up the arse.

Also, he doesnā€™t act nice for getting a blow job - thatā€™s not how it works. He gets a blow job IF he acts nice. Maybe. No more blow jobs for that man.

Run. He is not a man.

Not acceptable behaviour for a fully grown man who has kids & household responsibilties!

How do you respond to that? Like do you speak your mind or do you ā€œconsiderā€ it? Iā€™d probably laugh so hard that Iā€™d pee myself.

Girl a weekly blowjob tf. I donā€™t do anything for him if I donā€™t get help with the house/kids. If he wants sex/bjs he has to be nice to ME! If heā€™s horny and Iā€™m not in the mood Iā€™ll wake up to a clean kitchen and breakfast on the table. I am not one to say leave him to anyone bc I believe marraige is hard hard work and anything can be fixed but girl this man is really abusive and manipulative.

It sounds like he doesn't want a wife or kids. I've been married for 20 years. Not once has my husband ever asked for a week off, I've been a sahm the entire relationship. Good luck

Iā€™m so sorry. I would want to slap the shit out of him. I hope your dad sticks up for you like you say! My dad wouldnā€™t put up with that shit either.

ā€œHusband wants a week off from parentingā€ instantly got me pissed.

Iā€™m a sahm it is never that deep. He needs to get over it. A day sure but you also need a day. 7 days no heā€™s stupid. Please leave him he seems lazy and manipulative.

I have been shitting liquid fire and Iā€™m still parenting. We donā€™t get days off unless planned in advance and everyone is comfortable.

Lmfao wait you went back to work like 9 days and heā€™s tapping out already???

@Amanda Brown I went from "you're joking right" to shouting in about ten seconds. Then I refused to speak to him for an hour. Then he needed me to tell him where the soy sauce was cause he can't find anything and he was cooking dinner. So he said he would just have 3 days off, not 7. I told him where the soy sauce was but also told him parents don't get 3 days off either

@Ella he wouldā€™ve been soy sauce less if it were me

I don't think he'll attempt to follow through with it (although I'm only about 90% sure about that). I think he shouldn't say stupid shit though. I'll let y'all know in 3 days if I'm still married šŸ¤£

He sounds like a toxic woman

Yeet him into the bin.
