How in the world can the woman possibly manage her household if?

Question

She has physical health problems, she goes to school, she spends lots of time trying to get a job, she does the household chores (even ones that make her physically ill), and she tries to guide her family, but the unemployed husband does not clean up after the kids, does not keep them clean during the day, has to be reminded to cook or clean something, and will not protect the wife's purchases for the family. Example: there are blinds required by the apartment manager, and she has bought FOUR sets of ten window blinds this past year...because the husband does not watch out for the blinds getting torn up by the kids. He will not wash off stuff they write on the walls and thinks if he stands to do some dishes or change a diaper, then he is "helping." He needs to do so much more. And she needs to too, but cannot even get basic things working right under those apathetic conditions. What can she do to restore order, or have it in the first place?

Answer 1

She needs to make a stand with her husband and let him know either he is going to change his ways and contribute both financially and around the house or she wants him out because all he is doing is holding her back from reaching her full potentional.

Answer 2

Take the husband out of the picture and do it as she has been doing it all alone. The husband seems to be a disturbance there, so get rid of him. And maybe the children will help Mom more and respect her for not having a bum for a husband. Children look at everything in the household and sometimes they do as parents do. If the husband is doing nothing to help her, neither will them.

Answer 3

In this case the man needs to get off his behind and take responsibility for his family. If he isn't working then he needs to make sure he does his best to help the family in any way possible.
