Today, my husband decided he needs to be thanked after every time he changes our daughter's diaper; if not he throws a temper tantrum. Now I have two babies to deal with. FML

Today, instead of being an adult, my husband was more hysterical than my daughter during a hissy fit. It makes me want to divorce him. FML

Today, my newborn daughter has kept me up all day and all night for the past few days. Usually my husband sleeps. I finally cracked and yelled for his help, only for him to scream at me that he needs sleep and gives her to me anyway. FML

Today, I challenged my husband to look after our twins by himself all day, like I normally do. When I got home, both babies had on clean nappies and clothes, dinner was cooked, the house was spotless, and 3 loads of washing were done. Smug bastard. FML

Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. FML

Today, I'm working while my husband is the stay at home parent. The house is spotless, our baby girl is happy, and he's never been happier. When I stayed at home, I could never keep the house tidy, and she cried constantly. How does he do it? No matter how we do it, I'm always the one who's tired and miserable. FML

Today, I came to the conclusion I have three kids instead of two, after having to force my husband to take a shower. It's been a week. FML

Today, my husband and my daughter engaged in a fart war. Guess who go to do a pile of shitty laundry, while the other texted his friends about the “hilarious” incident? FML

Today, my husband is completely convinced that his taking a massive dump after being constipated is exactly like the time I gave birth to our twins. FML

Today, my year and a half old daughter has discovered the joy of temper tantrums. She is now throwing them constantly. Everywhere. Anytime. FML

"Honey, I just changed a diaper." "Good for you." "Excuse me? Excuse me? I just changed a diaper and all I get is a good for you? I better get a thank you or I am going to throw a tantrum. Consider yourself warned."

He's a douche. He does NOT need to be thanked for taking care of his own kid! Tell him to get the hell over it.

Buy him a booklet of gold stars and every time he changes, bathes, or rocks her stick a star on a piece of paper with his name on it and one on his forehead, and act the same way he does whenever you do anything. Next time you change a diaper go slam it down next to him and cross your arms huff and look away. Next time you do anything just look to him and say "Well?" Hopefully it will give him an idea of what he's doing and he will change his attitude towards caring for his own child. Just if you do take my approach don't let it get out of control, remeber that your daughter is still #1and that BOTH of you are #2.

Or maybe she could take the high road, just sit him down and explain why this is a problem and maybe find out how he feels...Clearly he's upset about something.

What a douche! Don't let him get away with it, or he'll get even more sexist.

Did he ever thank you for changing diapers? Personally I think it should'nt have to be said. I mean parenting is a partnership. You are in it together. If he throws a tantrum when it is something that needs to be done, then how will he act if it's something serious that you or your child will need help with? This is crazy. Im sorry but I would have left him a long time ago.
