    Ok I know I'm nit alone but I have to vent. Tonight my DH as stomping around the house picking up. I finally asked him why he was so aggrivated and he said he was tired of cleaning the house every night. I replied that that is was happens with kids. He looked at me and said it's not just them I have to vlean after. I thought I wiuld loose it. Here I am dealing with an 18m and two 6m babies aftet a full day of work. I bathe them, feed them, and put them to bed. I get up with them at night. In the mornings I load them in the car alone to drop them off at the sitters so I can go to work. I take them yo all their appointments. I try to keep thing as calm as possible for him because of his stressful job and I still get "fussed" because the house isn't clean!!!! I pick up after the babies go to bed. No I don't pick everything up perfectly, but it gets staightend up. I'm so mad at him right now. Thanks fir letting me vent.

    Wow my typos are bad. Sorry!!

    OMG I would be pissed!!!!!! Sorry buddy but it's all part of being married with children. GRRRR it makes me mad even thinking about it!!!! I'm sorry he's being a jerk. That was just a nasty comment from him. Uncalled for and childish. I am a SAHM so I do just about everything around here. There isn't much I ask DH to do. But if I worked heck ya he would be helping around the house!!!! You work all day just like him. If not more since you have to come home and do EVERYTHING with the kids by yourself. How is that not stressful!

    I may be in the minority here. I'm a SAHM, DH works. I do most of the housework but I do still expect DH to come home and help me feed the kids dinner, get them baths and help me clean up the kitchen after dinner. If the babies wake up at night, we take turns getting up. And on the weekends he gets half of the "deep cleaning" chore list. In a marriage it's all 50/50. He has a job he goes to....but so do I. I just don't get paid.

    That is so frustrating. He probably has no idea how much effort it takes to do all the stuff you do. :hug:

    I know that my husband used to get on my case about cleaning because he was frustrated and overwhelmed with the kids and work and he didn't feel like he could complain about the kids. That doesn't make it ok for him to complain at you, but is it possible that he's just got something else on his mind?
