You have two REAL kids, one on the way, and one OVERGROWN kid (much like a teenage boy). Nothing. You have two REAL kids, one on the way, and one OVERGROWN kid (much like a teenage boy).

Now Im seperated, and struggling financially, but it is domestically the same. The biggest difference is how lonely it is when your kids are in bed. How lonely it is taking them to get the pumpkins and doing family things by yourself. Single motherhood is seriously rough and a step I wouldnt take lightly.

So to answer your question the difference in this case is nothing really but if your husband was a "man" in any sense of the word then your marriage would include a helping hand around the house and with the kids, an additional income and someone to talk to and relax with when you get the chance.

But then they act stupid and play dumb like they don't know how to do something?? But they can fix cars and do all these other things>>but can't throw a load of laundry in the washing machine. I've always said that they play dumb and act like they don't know what their doing?? They know. They just don't want to do it. Start giving him things to do around the house. OH YA>>> the other thing we woman get is WE DON'T DO ANYTHING.WE'RE JUST HOUSEWIFES????????????? That ones ALWAYS killed me. LOL LOL Nothing really. LOL I’ve always thought this way anyway.

It would behoove you to assertively negotiate a fair list distributing work between you and your husband. Clearly, you have allowed an intolerable situation to persist for way too long. Oh, and, get on some birth control after this one, because adding more children is not going to make your life easier, it will make it harder!

I have been both. I was a single mom for the first two years with my son, then I got married and now have a 9 year old step daughter, my three year old son and one on the way. The difference should be a balance of two parents. I maintain the daily balance of life with the kids, while its my husband's job to discipline and spend good "daddy time" with the kids. I do not work right now at all...so he gets up and goes to work every morning...8 to 10 hours a day, occasionally more while I take care of all the house work and the meals...and like I said, getting the kids off to where they need to go and homework, etc. We share the load. When I do have this baby and go back to work, we'll share in the housework as well. Everything should be equal and fair for a married couple. No one partner should have to do more or less than the other. In your situation it doesn’t sound like there is much of a difference. I have been both.

You should try to be a mother with max 2 kids so your worries won't extend to a greater extent. Did your husband work too? If not, then ask him to do the CHORES and Houseworks!!!! He's not even better than a son of a bitch if he won't do that. If everything went worse from time to time, I feared that you will be stressed out! I'm afraid that you MARRIED the wrong GUY! Well, try to talk with him about this. Conversation is the best solution. If your husband is no good a penny, then you are in danger, bro.
