Unfortunately it does take a reality check for most men to "get it". Kind of like 'Scared Straight' lol. They dont know what they've got till its gone, or in some cases, ALMOST gone. I would suggest you arrange a time that you two can talk when the kids are asleep, or get a babysitter for an hour or two so you two can discuss the issues. Let him know exactly how you feel. .you are in pain and you are busting your ass taking care of the kids and the house, and you would appreciate him to maintain the house while you are not there. Maybe you could create an organizational system for the toys, and have your daugther pick certain things she wants to play with and when she loses interest, he should clean those up and get something else out. There's no reason for the house to be a disaster. He's obviously not even interacting with the kids if he's on the computer the whole time. He should want to spend more time with his kids. Let him know what you want done, and let him know the other option would be that you leave. (if thats what it has come to) No one parent should have to do ALL the work. I was in the same situation, and if you are doing it alone, you might as well be living alone. Im sorry you are going through this; I hope he straightens up. |
