I dont know if i am the only person who feels that my partner should do some things for me without asking it. My situation is that i do a lot of taking care of our kids bec. our nanny is on vacation and i feel tired most of the time while he can go outside and play with his friends and when i told him that i am already tired with the work, he will said that he is also tired from his job and he cannot get the hint that i need him to take care of the kids. all i wanted is to have little time for myself while he will take care of the kids, i will still need to tell him to look for the kids while i need to do something. Do guys really like that? you still need to tell them what to do? do you encounter situation like this? share your thoughts please!

My husband and i talk over that situation,like your situation sometimes i felt that too.
But when my husband told me that he is tired from work and don't expect him to take care of the kids i realize that he is right. I think we felt that all the tasks inside the house are all given to us and no time for our selves.
But when you try to look at it you and your husband are the desame trying to work both for the family.

I really don't have to tell him what to do he justs does it. He has it pretty good though cause I get in cleaning moods and I clean everything and don't really expect him to help Plus I still cook for him He has it made :) But if I ask for his help he will

Yes, my husband is like this all the time. He works ten hours a day so he is exhausted when he gets home. I have to do everything, clean house, take care of kids, even take out the nasty trash (I hate taking out the trash). I just hate it that my hubby cannot help me out, especially when I have to take a break.

although i'm not married yet but i think guys do need to b told frankly what we want.and moreover they donot get offended by it so its better in very relationship to be comfortable to tell whatever we feel or need this way life gets easy.

I don't think lots of people will expect too much from your partner, you know, a good partner must a good frind of yours.you trust him, and he trust you , when you in need , he will help you ,and the same you will help him when he is in need.
