Hey Csparks1,

Girl, I know how frustrated you must be. But, be fair- it is true the laziest man will not respond to nagging. I would still clean up, do the dishes, cook dinner and wash *my* clothes. But, I would be sneaky....

I would not wash a thing of his- put everything he drops in the laundry BUT when he has no clean clothes left and I mean NO CLOTHES and whines at you, just say sweetly "Well hunny, I have just been so busy with everything else that I just have not had time to wash and iron your clothes" You have not been nasty or nagged him....

He might start to see things from your perspective, it will cripple you to not wash his clothes, especially if you are neat freak like me. But believe me the shock normally cures them LOL!...

Men always say "I work so hard all day" my ex was just the same. He didn't get better when I had my son- he was WORSE. He reverted to completely being a child and expecting me to wait on him hand and foot. When I gave birth to my son I was in hospital for 3 days, I had 10 loads of washing to do when I got home with my newborn son and the house looked like it had been burgled. The midwife came out and told him to get his act together and tidy up!

The guy I am with now is TOTALLY different. He helps out with everything, cooks his own tea, does the washing, ironing and keeps everything clean and tidy when I'm not here.

The way your DH acted withthe whole puppy thing says it all to me, except you cannot pass on a child when you're bored... He is a spoiled little boy! Harsh words but why should you struggle on trying to do everything. It's knackering being pregnant, working and running a home isn't it?

We also have THREE horses that we have to look after, my chap never moans he just does it and I know how lucky I really am.

Your DH needs a swift kick up the rear, he's not at home with Mummy now...

Good luck with it hunny, you are quite within your rights to whinge here.
