Hey Soupe-
Man I really struggle with this too.
It’s seriously a huge stressor to me.
Have you found anything that helps??
For years I was nice about it, and that didn’t work. Over the past year I’ve had serious talks about it with hubby. And that seemed to semi- get the point across, but no sustained change.
I do NOT want to be the nagging wife, but I can’t keep doing 80% of the work forever. Most of the time I deeply struggle with my mental health and basic every day tasks, and this just makes things worse.
I’ve realized I need to do a better job of advocating for my needs, so I’ve been doing this more frequently.
Anyone have tips to get a lazy hubby help out around the house more?? When they seriously don’t think there’s a problem 🤦 He watches tv for hours and hours every day and barely helps with anything. (this hubby grew up with an amazing mom who did EVERYTHING for him).
I’m not here just to complain- I really want actual advice. Thanks guys.
thanks for posting this Soupe... I hope your hubby steps it up & helps out more 💛
