Okay, okay. I have 2 kids. They are hard to keep up with but not more than my husband! I have to wake him up, make sure he gets dressed on time and to work and then make sure everything he needs is done. I don't know about you but I'm tired of feeling like I'm raising a grown kid!! What the heck?? Any comments or suggestions would help me feel a lot better!

I taught my ex to fend for himself by "accidentally" sleeping in and by forgetting to do things he wanted done. Slowly but surely he started doing things for himself otherwise they wouldn't get done. My current partner was already house trained when I got him thank goodness, LOL.

Haha that's too funny!! But the thing is, I have responsibilities of my own and I can't sleep in. Who he's slacking off on isn't himself, it's ME!! I have to take care of it all if he doesn't because I will lose everything I have if he doesn't and I don't! And he doesn't! EVER!! Help!

In that case, the only things I can think of is for you to learn to ask him to do things for you. Let him know how tired you are because of having to do everything (yes I mean be tired when you go to bed too). Stop looking so damn gorgeous when he comes home from work, so he can see that you are tired. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

That sounds like a great idea. Fall asleep on him that should work after a few tries. lol

LOL...Oh you have to love them. Well first off..I have a 7 year old, a 4 year old, and an almost 1 year old. My two oldest go to school in the mornings. I have to get them up at 6 am to make sure they are fed, dressed, and all together for school and get them out the door to the bus. My husband is supposed to be to work by 7 am..to do that he needs to get up at the latest 6 am. So as I'm trying to wake my girls up for school he is hitting the snooze button on the dang alarm clock. Then after I yell at him to get up for about 20 minutes or so while Im trying to get the girls ready my son usually wakes up because of all the noise. Okay soo all three children are up and my husband finally rolls out of bed and has the nerve to ask me if I can get him his work clothes..Like his freaking legs are broken and he isnt an adult, and I dont have enough to do in the morning. LOL..To make it even better..he asks me why Im CRANKY! What a butt! And I am constantly picking up his dirty clothes and socks and dishes and the mess he makes when he cooks. So all in all I know how you feel and you have my Sympathy! There are no suggestions I can give you really...we love them for a reason even if we dont always know what that reason is..There will come a time though where I have a glass of ice water in the morning and he will get it I swear! :)

Men seem to think they do so much but to me it seems like us women do a lot more.A grown man sholud be able to get himself up and ready for work by himself.I remember my husband thought being a stay at home was so easy so I got a job and let him do it,it lasted a whole two weeks.

No honey you have 3 kids and no husband. Laughing out loud. They are like children. It is so crazy right? When he has no money to spend on his games and so on so forth he has no one to blame but himself. Let him learn on his own. I know it is rough and you need that extra money but if he looses his job make him stay at home with the kids. lol
