I'd just tell him to shape up or ship out...

My sister has a husband who sounds EXACTLY like this. She doesn't do daycare, but he complains about her FT Job and actually DEMANDED she got a second job. Regretfully, she complied. He doesn't have a 2nd job...let alone a decent first job. Sister provides the insurance, house payment, car payment, groceries, medical bills; takes care of their child, him, his brother; She does ALL the cooking, cleaning, yard work, gardening at his demand all while NOW working 2 jobs. He works as a foreman in construction from 6:30am to 2:30pm, then he goes to the bar for a couple, then he goes and "lifts weights" for a few hours, and then he goes fishing with the guys.

Wow...must be nice to be him lol!

I tell her, as I'm going to tell you:

STAND up for yourself, what you want, and what you believe in. If you don't...you will look back on yourself 20 years from now and wonder "what if.."

We must first make ourselves happy before we can bring happiness to a relationship. If we are not happy, the relationship is going to suffer.
