How should I get him to help out?

Question

I am a stay at home mom and my husband works in sales (which means he comes home late ~ around 8 or 9). When I ask him to help with our 2 year old son, he tells me no. For example, I had people coming over and needed to cook...but I also needed to give our son a bath. He came home from work and I asked him if he could give our son a bath. He said...No..I don't do that. I got extremely upset with him and we had a big arguement. He told me that I don't do anything but watch tv and sit around with our son during the day. I cook, clean, take care of our son and go food shopping but that's nothing in his eyes.
It's not like I'm asking him to help me out all the time...I just needed him to help me out for once. I told him that he's the one missing out. That our son is not going to remember any bonding times with his father because I'm the one who is doing everything for him. I just want him to WANT to help me out. What else can I do?

Answer 1

Well, have your 2 year old son to ask him to give him a bath, it would be hard for him to turn him down.
Arguing about it won't help, if all else fails, take a day and really do nothing around the house, and when he comes home he'll see the house is a mess, then tell him, "This is what it looks like if I watch TV all day"

Good Luck.
