My husband doesn't even expect me to do any housework, and that's with only working 12 hours a week and going to college full time, and I'm not even pregnant! Why is it always the woman's responsibility to do the housework? There is no reason it shouldn't be a shared endeavor, especially given the fact that most couples BOTH work!

Ask him, in all seriousness, to stuff a watermelon under his shirt and walk around with it. Then, whack in in the lower back with a 2x4, then drop a hammer on both of his feet, so he can really simulate what it's like. Make sure he has to pee every 15 minutes, give him some extra hormones so he feels like laughing and crying at the same time. Then, tell him to work full time and then clean the house.
He'll never say another word.

Are you complaining too much! this is the main characteristic of pregnant women! More seriously, being 22 weeks pregnant of course affects your physical abilities and endurance... Feeling tired easily and rapidly is...normal! Now why don't you try to make your husband understand this (with calm but determined words)? And "sweetening" it (being a little bit lame about how it is marvellous to have a child together, how both of you will blossom through this experience!), may help you have a frank and compassionate discussion. And that may help you avoid cleaning tasks!

No tell him to get off his bone lazy **** and do some work around the house, he had better get used to it now as it will only get worse for him. I'm a farther of two boys 2 years and 7 months I also work nights and I also do a lot of the house work or look after the kids in the mornings when I get in to give the missus some rest.

No. Have a talk with him and tell him you need to share the housework, 50-50. Since you are working, that's the least he can do. Continue after the baby is born if you go back to work.

You need to take care of yourself. It sounds as though he is complaining not you. He should help you out what will he be like after you have had your baby? Take care and I hope you sort this out, and I hope both you and baby are fine. Tell you wot though if your tired now wait till the little one gets u up in the night. Oh and colic....just leave the house work if you don't feel up to it. Really its not that important.

no but looks like your husband is no good. I mean how can he know or understand how does a pregnant woman feel? And then when baby comes along, it will get even more tyring but looks like your hubby will expect everything from you. Put your feet down and have a serious talk with him

I think if you both work- you split the housework. That is what we do here. Then if someone is not well or needs additional work time we will help each othet out. We have set chores that we do- so it doens't confuse the issue of who is doing what.

Why should you do everything? What does he do? Tell him to get off his lazy a*se and give you a hand. Working nights takes it out of you, never mind being pregnant. I know, I work them too. He`s being selfish and inconsiderate, and wants a slap around the ear `ole.

i think that if you don't kill him or give him a good swift kick in the family jewels then I will!!! You have to explain to him that you should be taking it easy at this time of your pregnancy and ask him to be more considerate!!! Get the baby book out and scare the hell out him with tales of how dangerous it is for you to overdo it...or go and stay wi a friend for a few days...give him a fright!!!
