No he got shirts and jeans etc for gifts and still does but he was 38 when we married and hadn't lived at home since he was 27/28. and she didn't do it then. We have been together for 18 years, married for 7, lived together for 1yr before marrying so he was on his own for a while! Hates clothes shopping. I will buy them, but I just don't want them to magically become my responsiblilty ;) just because I became a mom and him a dad doesn't make me responsible for certain things. just seems to be a trend, I have to give him little nudges over. like socks on floor when I became a sahm. if he didn't do it before, he doesn't have to do it now. I have enough to do! I do 95% of all household stuff, gift buying, cooking, grocery shopping,laundry etc, kids activities, doctors appts, organizing parties, xmas etc. I starting working parttime but I have to get the kids to my moms, pick them up, deal with getting them to preschool and school even if I am working. since he is not around. I am not bitching :) I know we are all doing the same thing! but I don't need more to do. As I have starting saying to the kids. I am your mother not the maid when they don't want to clean up their messes. He is a good guy but hopeless at multi tasking and thinking about all the stuff that needs doing to run our lifes. He just got worst when the kids were born.
