Im hoping for a little more help from my partner, odd jobs etc. He currently puts the rubbish out every week and mows the lawns..??
mate you gotta be kidding me..who do you think does EVERYTHING else besides the lawns and taking out the rubbish, this is such a typical male answer sorry to say lol classic
oh i forgot to mention..hes not working
and weve got 2 kids 32months(toilet training) and 9 months(breastfed) and im4 months preggers
 
that's a pretty good start, it depends on how many hours he and you work and I wouldn't load him down so much that he starts missing out on personal interests like watching sports or poker night with his buddies otherwise he may start to resent you, I wash dishes, laundry and anything else that needs to be done occasionally if I have time and it doesn't interfere with my nascar or fishing
 
Sounds to me like you're on your 4th child! Don't do ANYTHING. Let it all pile up and get good and disgusting. Sooner or later he won't be able to stand it and he'll do it!
 
If your working and he's not, him doing all the chores is fair......except laundry, we men can't do that properly.

Do you expect a servant or a partner. Sound like you want him working so if that is the case he will do the minimum. If you want to share the duties inside and out ask him to make a list of the things he would like you to do and ask him what work you could do together. Thank-you is nice but companionship is where it is at if you can not do that then he should just do the minimum that is what you are doing, right. I know this is right.
 
If he's not working and you are, he should be expected to do all the chores a wife would be expected to do if SHE was the one not working while he was working.
