Now, I'm clearly beginning to see reasons many ladies avoid getting married to a Single dad, My husband is giving me the silent treatment. Cuz of his son

I'm a 28-year-old woman, mother of a 6-month-old child. I've known my husband for 3 years, We've actually been living together for about a year. When I met him, he was a single father of a 2-year-old boy whose mother had passed during childbirth & taking care of him

The child is now 5. But what annoys the most is that, The boy doesn't help with household chores, not even sweeping or doing the dishes. just nothing at all. Six months after I gave birth, my younger sister came to help me. My husband even offered to pay for her tailoring training.

But, Last Wednesday, He came back home around 7:50 am coz he had forgotten his computer & saw his son still at home & asked me why he wasn't at school yet. I told him that, his son needed to do some household chores (sweeping the living room & his room, & washing the dishes) before going to school.

My husband got angry, saying that his son was too young for household chores & that my sister could do them instead. I replied that my sister was not a maid & that she was only there to help me with the laundry for our newborn.

My husband has been giving me the silent treatment since Thursday. Before going to work, he wakes up at 5:30 am, sweeps his son's room, & does the dishes – all the household chores I had asked his son to do.

LThis morning, he told me to ask my sister to leave & that he wants to hire a nanny cuz he doesn't want his son to do any household chores. I refused, saying that I don't want a nanny & that my sister will help me. He gave me an ultimatum, saying that if my sister doesn't leave within a week, he'll do it himself.

I tried to reason with him, saying that if my sister leaves, I'll leave too, but he just said that the door is open, & I should leave our 6-month-old child behind before I go.p you

please help me ask your followers. How can I reason with my husband? I don't want to lose my home, & I don't want a nanny in the house either. If the nanny comes, my sister will have to leave, & she won't be able to do the training my husband offered to pay for.

Is it too much to ask a 5-year-old to do some household chores? Pls, whats wrong asking my step child to help out with chores??
