Hello,
I am expecting and my husband and I both work full time. While kids aren't in the mix (yet) I feel like we might have a bit of a similiar situation.
My husband used to think that housework was just something that *got done* and wouldn't do much. He's a well meaning guy, so I'm not trying to badmouth him. I think that some men just grew up that way, and expect it to be that way...
What helped was sitting him down and having a heart to heart. Explain that housework = time + work. When he saw that I was working 2 full time jobs and he 1; I got a lot more help.
I have to remind him and ask him to help me, but since I had a calm, rational talk with him it helped so much. I hope this works for you; good luck! ↑ |
