Why do men get off easy?

Alot of men are scared, for some it's a macho man thing that they've learned, others are comfortable with it & just go with the flow. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that does everything around the house and for our 4 kids if I need him to. I've had 2 surgeries within a year so I never have to worry about him. He had to take care of his nephew and some of his cousins when he was younger so he knows what needs to be done. On the other hand, my sister-in-law's husband is a hopeless case. They have a 2 month old daughter and this guy is a complete coconut. A few days ago he ended up crying and screaming into a pillow cause he couldn't handle watching the baby & 5 year old son plus cook dinner while she was at work. I definitely agree that you need time for yourself! Everyone does. Please take a little time off for yourself, by yourself if possible. It does wonders!! Best of luck & take care =)

oh i so hear you! when my kids where younger i got stuck with the same thing...i felt like oh, she is home and well she can do the house and take care of the kids...um hello, your kids too...so i left my hubby...i had enough! we were seperated for 6 months and boy did he change! (or else i wouldnt have come back obviously) now i dont reccommend this for everyone, but it worked well in my case.

you need to talk to him but dont force him because it might get worst.my hubby enjoys bathing,clothing,feeding the children,most time he does all the domestic works because thats the way he was brought up by his parents.most men doesn't do it because they feel it is a womans job while other men don't because they lack home training so the best thing to do is to pet and beg him to do it from there he will start getting use to helping you around the house.be wise

I am sorry to hear that your husband does not do his fair share of looking after your son. It is delightful to look after a two year old. So much joy can be had from playing games together and teaching him to do new things. Does your husband lack confidence? Is he just lazy? You should both have some chill out time whilst the other one of you looks after your child. Then you could also have some family time. Good luck.

I think most women will agree with you on that. My husband is the same way. Just an example. My 10 month old got chocolate pudding all over herself and in her hair the other night. I was going to give her a bath, but got called into work. I asked him to do it. She was wiped off enough, but her hair was crusty. He wouldn't do it. DOesn't like bathing babies because they wiggle too much and they are slippery. Gee...don't I wish I could use that excuse. A lot of men just can't handle all of the day to day stuff with kids. I don't know why they aren't built that way, but they aren't. Drives me crazy though

hello brookehaun:) when I'm here, I just know you have 2 year old son.That sounds great!There must be so much fun with your son.But sometimes women will feel unfair that while we are stuck babyitting men just take it for granted.I think you can have a real talk with your husband. good luck
