The girlfriend is spending today cleaning the house. I'm helping but I'd rather not spend one of my days off without the kids doing housework, especially when we have someone at home that could be doing this cleaning all year round
Yeah nah. You do the cleaning after. ๐
The kids are in care because they're having a messy day today. I asked what she wanted to do and the response was pretty much go straight home, spend all day cleaning, then we can go pick up the kids who will just make a mess again.
I'd rather not spend all day cleaning when her mother lives with us and spends all her time at home when the kids are not around on her iPad in front of the TV
I have no nice response to this. Rant away.
Direct confrontation is the way to go.
Unless she is completely physically disabled there are things she can do.
What I meant was I wasn't gonna rub salt into tombruzzo's wound.
If I was in that situation I wouldn't be able to hold back.
