By being a terrible partner and a lazy, shitty dad.
The last 3 years have changed him into a person I don’t know or really want to know. He doesn’t help clean, cook, maintain our home/lawn, take care of our child, or do literally anything at all except go to work. He doesn’t buy us birthday or Christmas gifts and expects me to handle all of the mental and emotional labor in our lives. I’ve been applying to preschools and he argues about the choices I’m making in facilities even though he’s done none of the research and has no idea the average price, hours or availability of any kind of childcare. He sees our child for about one and a half hours a day while he’s awake, before he goes to work. He doesn’t get up with her in the night or in the morning, doesn’t feed her any healthy meals, and almost never leaves the house with her unless I’m coming too, except if he’s going to his parents’ house. Even then he doesn’t brush her hair and dresses her in ill-fitting clothes. I can’t even leave him because I can’t trust him to take care of her properly by himself.
He’s pushing me to have a second child. I wanted another baby, but not with this version of him that has left me to be a single married parent. I’m canceling my infertility consultation appointments because I’m not doing this by myself with two children.

I’m jealous of people without young children. My god the free time! Nap whenever! Not tired 24/7! Get to sleep through the night. Can do whatever whenever. I literally burn with jealousy & rage when I, late 30s with 2 under 2, see my late 30s childless neighbors.

I counted six kids in the grocery store moo story. A teen, a 9 year old, a 6 year old, 4 year old twins, and a toddler. Obviously Moo either does not believe in birth control or is not very good at it. What stood out to me the most was the 4 year olds still breastfeeding and wearing diapers. She made no mention of even trying to wean or potty train them. WTF? These modern moos do all they can to create more work and trouble for themselves, then bitch about how shitty their lives are.

EWWW
We live in a small 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house (about 1200 square feet one level), the half bath is right next to the kitchen.( I could be sitting on that toilet and see the stove and back door) We don't poop in there because of its proximity to the kitchen but the toilet doesn't seem to handle it well. The other bathroom is also tiny but it is at the end of the hallway. The kitchen is at the other end of the hallway and the kitchen table has to be in there because we don't have a dining room.
Every single morning from 7-9am my husband takes at least 1-2 giant dumps and the smell permeates the entire house.
I will be having breakfast at the kitchen table and when he goes into the bathroom, the smell will start reaching me in the kitchen. There is no where to go in the house where the smell doesn't reach.
My toothbrush is on the sink because there is no room to put any toiletries anywhere. I cringe at the thought of my brush marinating in all that poo stink every morning.
He has to leave the house 3 days a week for work and on those days, I am so happy because he wakes up much earlier and I don't have to smell it.
Pretty soon he is going to be working from home and never leave the house. I am dreading having to be around the smell everyday and worried it is going to continue to erode the little romance we have left at this point.
Moving would require leaving our awesome neighborhood and city otherwise I would have done that years ago.
Edited to add: I don't have this problem with my kids poop and mine (although I have chronic constipation and maybe poop 3 times a week if I'm lucky) my husband is doing it several times a day
UPDATE Thanks for all of your suggestions! I mentioned it to him this morning because I was waiting to eat breakfast until after he was done and he started to go in *again* right as I was sitting down and I just lost it. He got defensive at first saying he has to clean my period blood sometimes but I mentioned how that is rare and it's not several times a day, everyday. After that, he agreed to do matches and window open and keeping the door closed after he goes.
I'll look into the oils as well. As for the diet, I am not sure. He will often blame whatever we had the night before for making him go a lot but it happens every week so that seems like not a valid reason.

Today was extremely rough, my GMIL is taking a turn for the worse, she needed to be hospitalized today. I fell to me to get her there, my husband is out of town, my MIL was 'busy' my SIL was working.
I have the "too many" amount of kids, majority are over 10 with the oldest being 18.
I took the 18mo and the 5yo with me because everyone was being selfish today, but I don't get to be right? I have to do what ever it is to get shit done even if that means pushing a stroller and a wheelchair at the same time, while making sure my flight risk is keeping with the group.
That means I left 6 kids from 8yo to 18yo at the house. When I left my house was decent. Not better homes and gardens but lived in clean. I asked for the 2 oldest to please stay downstairs and make sure no one burnt the place down or went running with scissors or left without telling anyone.
I get her settled in the hospital, wait around for scans and tests, feed the littles from a vending machine and comfort GMIL who is in end stage heart failure. She's gonna be there for a few days possibly. About 7 hours. Frequent calls home to check in and check up. Nothing amiss as I was told.
I walk in the door and my house is trashed.
All the clean laundry I did last night is everywhere. The bunch of bananas is squished into various spots on the carpts and rugs and stairs and one on the top of the toilet seat? Popcorn everywhere. Preshred cheese (3lb bag from Costco) stepped in and tracked all over the house including into the bananas and laundry. There is pancake batter drip dried all over the counters, stove and floors. I think every single dish and pot has been dirtied. There is jelly on my couches. The dogs haven't been let out all day and they shit and pissed in my house. Wrappers from snacks and empty ramen packages on the floor. The full trash is tipped over because no one fed the dogs so its between satans asscheeks and gods tits everywhere.
The whole house smells of farts. Like literally the house smells like fucking farts. Rancid protein fruit farts.
My kids are all sitting quietly on the couches, in the mess on phones and tablets and laptops and playing video game.. in the mess. My 17yo had a open pb&j face down stuck to the cushion next to him.
Like what the fuck right? Because thats what I said. Like what the fuck happened, who the fuck did this and thought it was okay?
My 15yo said and I quote "You didn't put anyone in charge so everyone just did their own thing and I wasn't responsible for what anyone else did, you should have put someone in charge".
This is where I flew off the handle and said the thing I did and right now I don't wanna apologize.
"I regret having kids." Among various expletives that scared the baby because I don't yell. I don't scream. I don't hit or spank. Because today I yelled and I screamed and I cussed them the fuck out. Because right now I actually regret having kids.
No one did anything. No one wants to help clean it up because they didn't do it. They want to argue. They want to blame me and everyone else. They are refusing to help. They are milling between the downstairs and their rooms while I clean.
I found a dogs butthole pucker shit print on my coffee table top that was for some godforsaken reason off the legs and on the floor. Now I'm outside contemplating doing a cigarette run, pacing around because I'm fucking livid.
At everyone. My husband for having the audacity to have a work trip. At my GMIL for having a medical emergency. At my MIL for being a self absorbed narcissist. At my SIL for having a life and a job. At my kids for being fucking bums. And at myself for thinking I was actually a good parent and that I thought my kids were raised right. Who the fuck am I? Thinking everything was okay and that they are decent empathetic people.
And I still have to go back to GMIL house to care for gramps who is completely immobile.
And its not even safe to leave my own house to run and check on him because godforfuckingbid I disremember to put someone in charge and they burn the place down.....
I regret so many of my choices right now. So here I am venting to all you fine folks with my novella. Fuuuuuuck.
Edit* someone better come hold me back because I just found a tipped over open 32oz bottle of soy sauce under my new sweatshirt.. puddled into my shitty holds every stain light brown carpet under the table next to a dog turd. I feel violence. I might have to slap my own face so I don't hit a kid. I know hitting is never the answer but what if you slap yourself and not other people?

All charging cords, charging stations and plugs for every device and TV are locked up in my husbands footlocker now. Phones, tablets, laptops, switches, all gone.
They can eyeball each other for the rest of spring break.
They won't be getting any of their shit back until I can look back at this and laugh.

I feel its deliberate too. They are never like this (past making age appropriate mess), like this has never happened.
Every attempt to force/demand them clean has been completely ignored. They flat refuse. Outside of physically accosting them I don't know what to do. Im so out of my depth.
I locked them all out if their rooms in a attemot to force them and they just sat on the floor in the hallway like a solidarity fucking sit in protest.
I feel like I did something because of how utterly shocked I am. No one acts like this right?!
I spent near 14 hours between last night and today cleaning, with just the 5yo and the 8yo helping. 11yo to 18yo did zero.

“My husband and I have three kids: 2 boys and one girl, all still toddlers (5, 3 and an 11 month old). so when we met, my husband told me he wanted nothing to do with my son from a previous relationship. I understood him and didn't force him to be close to my son. This was easy since the boy stayed with his dad.
So here is my issue, from the get-go, my husband forced me to be a part of his daughter's life. He even wanted me to neglect the kids we have together for his daughter... He would slap our 5 year old son for the mistakes of his daughter and his family always acted like my kids were unwanted and she only mattered. I said nothing... But now I’m depressed. His daughter is 10 years old, untidy and still wets the bed...
She doesn't mind going to play with wet pants doesn't bother bathing in the morning. sometimes she just takes the clothes off and leaves them on the floor, then proceeds to do whatever her mind tells her to...
I tried being soft, then harsh; nothing works. the only time she cleans after herself is when she wants something from me and when daddy is around... She’s disrespectful but when people are around she changes her tone speaks like a two year old... Sometimes I wonder if it is because she is a pre teen or what... She changes personalities faster than a speeding car..
I have realized that she tests people to see who is on her side. once you reprimand her, you become her enemy. I have stayed with many people, she would test them by using her siblings. She hits her baby sister and looks straight into your eyes, tells you “I didn't hit, she did that”. If you speak the truth she longer listens to you”.

“Hi everyone, this is my second post. I'm F 28 married to M 32, our daughter is now 4 years old. My husband works 12 hour shifts and is barely ever around so I struggled a lot raising her alone because he never helped me with her even when he was around on his off days.
This year things have gotten a lot better because she's starting to be a lot more independent and enjoys doing things herself. Problem is that my husband is now pressuring me to have a second one even though I've told him countless times that I regret the one we already have. I've recently started feeling like myself again now that I've opened a little business for myself, now he won't stop talking about baby no.2 we even argued about it yesterday claiming that he will be more supportive this time around but I know that's not true.
I feel so much anger towards him everytime he talks about having another kid because I remember how poorly he treated me even when I was pregnant (cheating, drinking heavily, not sleeping at home etc). I feel so cornered I just needed to vent, thank you all for being so honest on this page I feel better knowing that I'm not alone.
(I live in South Africa and they won't allow me to get my tubes tied unless I have 3 kids or I'm over 35)”.

stupid fucking hand wringing cows who achieved nothing in school. which proves most kids are just plain average. in the past they ended up as factory workers but those jobs are gone, leaving jobs that require a few more iq points than is the average..

Did you guys hear about the dad in Vancouver who was murdered for asking a guy not to vape near his toddler at the entrance of a Starbucks? Too many comments talking about how "annoying" the dad's "behavior" is and how it's hard to say who was really at fault. Granted, more comments said it was disgusting, but the sheer number of people whining their whiny college-aged asses off about how "it's not my fault you decided to have a fuck trophy" and "fuck kids" and "fuck those irresponsible breeders" and "I don't have to stop vaping because of your crotch fruit", like, I'm sorry, no, it's not your fault that someone somewhere decided to be a parent, but on that same token, is it a parent's fault some violent asshole has a habit he can't set aside for a ten minute Starbucks run without MURDERING SOMEONE? Who's more entitled here? Is it really that hard to decide??
These people talk about parental entitlement like they aren't acting like entitled little jackasses themselves. It's so fucking annoying. Anything a parent wants or needs is asking too much. Anything some murderous vaping asshole wants is saintly and reasonable because he didn't commit the egregious sin of wanting to be a parent. It's bullshit.

Entitled mothers is like an oxymoron. Lol
