aggghhh! why dont men understand??!

First hubby threw a freaking fit because i wanted to take a shower. I get out of the shower and come to the living room and our toddler is playing in the cats food and water. I asked him how hard it was to turn on cartoons or something she would watch to keep her out of everything and his response was "shes a kid shes gonna get into everything u can pick it up later"

R u freaking kidding me?!?!

Omfg i could strangle him right now!

I should add that I still have to ask him to do things, even tho he doesn't complain, it still  irks me that he doesn't take the initiative to do things on his own. He will come get me if the baby is crying, I have to tell him "well did you pick him up? Try changing him? Rock him?" And he will be like oh no, so I will say "then maybe you should try that" haha sometimes men are clueless when it comes to caring for kids.

Oh man that stinks:/ sorry he's being a jerk to you. You deserve to be able to take 20 minutes for yourself and take a shower. I remember feeling like I had to do everything for my kids bc I was the stay at home mom and my hubs worked. I would never ask him to do anything, and guess what? He didn't do anything! Haha it dawned on me one day that he needed to do a little more, lucky for me he don't complain and he is really good with the kids, but if i gave him the chance, he would let me do it all. I think it might be time for your hubby to start to do more, maybe then watching her while you're in the shower wouldn't be such a burden on him.
