my husband really tries to help out when he can-he's not lazy most of the time he takes incentiative to help out ie dishes, diapers, takes ou tthe trash. But I get frustrated when he falls short of doing soemthing and I have to pick up the slack-i already feel like I have so much on my plate. anybody else feel this way?

um, yes!! Read what I've written in the other topics like losing myself on the sahm forum!! I have 4 kids ages9,5,3 and a 5 month old!! I am going nuts lately!!! I can't seem to get anything done and I seem to have no motivation this past week or so!! There is almost too much to do, I'm overwhelmed and when that happens I just don't know what to do!

Ya when he only does things half way. Like puts a load of was in the machien and doesnt put it in the dryer. Or cooks dinner and leaves the dishes, I could go on and on. It makes me crazy!

Yes I do know what you're saying I get fustrated sometimes after I have work 54 hours in one week and then have to work my mother job when I feel so tired as if I can pass out. I have a 11 month, 2 year old, and 6 year old It's so hard my first husband of my two older kids died, my new husband he spends family time with us but he doesn't have time for the family thing. he does help out a lo

I feel teh same way...My other half is a self employed contractor and so he feels his work is duringhte day and when he gets home it's his time to relax and not have to odo ANYTHING else...I have a 7 1/2 year old and 3 year old twins, so you can imagine one how much launry i have to do it's a minmum of 2 loads a day or you'll be backed up, plus picking up the mess the kids and dad made during hte morning when i left for work...I used to always whine and complain about his lack of help and it didnt get me anywhere, somehow he has this "Leave it to Beaver" idea in his head...LOL...so i look at it as, if it gets done it gets done if not hey I still gotta get to bed and ready for work myself the next day...I guess I'll do it tomorrow...And everyone will say make the kids help but the only one thats good at it is my oldest, but the twins come right in and mess it up behind us anyways...Makes you feel like your work is un noticed...

my husband will not do anything around the house, so which leaves me after working 9 hour days coming home and cleaning up after 4 kids and doing laundry, keeping the house straighened up and usually it is about 8 in the evening before i can even sit down and breathe

my husband tries, but like you said falls short. He will start severl things, but finish nothing. He will put the dishes in the dish washer, but not wash out the sink or counter tops. Wash and dry laundry, but leave it in a basket to get wrinkled. I would rather him just do one thing form start to finish. He doesn't realize that by doing it half ass it is making more work for me in the long run ie: it is easier to fold and hang up hot un wrinlked clothes then to iron everything and then put it away. When I bring this up he listens, but then says I an not appricating him trying to help out. Part of me feel like he is right I mean lots of women have husbands who will do nothing at all. Oh I will jsut keep nudging him in the right direction and hope he catches on.

Be glad your husband does ANYTHING! Mine thinks because he goes to work it excuses him from any chore around the house! If I want something done I have to do it or get my son to do it.

My husband and daughter...I call them just one thing's...they'll do everything but there's just one thing I have to do to finish. Laundry? My husband does laundry great, I just have to fold, he'll put away. My daughter will clean the table and leave just one thing for me to do. She'll do dishes, I just have to wipe the stove...it irks me.
