What is it with men?!

[RLC12345678]

My husband is so great and wonderful is almost every area I can think of, except when it comes to taking care of our dogs, but especially HIS dog, Lamar. It seems like I am doing all the work! Nay, it doesn't seem like it, I AM doing all the work! I am very sympathetic to the fact that my husband works more hours than I do and that is why I have bared the brunt of the work, but he just aggrevates me so badly! Let me start from the beginning....

We got our 2 yorkies and I did EVERYTHING for them...potty trained them, got up in the middle of the night with them (and still do), take them on walks, feed them, bathe them, ect. ect. ect. Whenever I would ask my hubby to help out, he would say, "Well, they're YOUR dogs." And to spare an arguement, I would say fine.

Well, now we have Lamar, who is supposed to be HUBBY'S dog. When we got him, I reminded hubby how I did everything for the yorkies so he is going to have to have most of the responsibility for HIS lab. He said FINE. But now I'm the one doing all the work. Hubby refuses to take the initiative to help out with him. He will take him outside to potty in the evenings if I tell him to, but he doesn't just say, Hey, let me take Lamar out for you. And in the mornings, he wakes up before me and thus wakes Lamar up, and instead of taking the initiative to take Lamar out since he is already up, he goes ahead and gets in the shower, which makes ME get up over an hour early to take Lamar out. On top of that, I wake up 2-4 times a night to take him out to potty. I finally asked hubby last night to start helping me out with this task and with the task of taking him out to potty before he gets in the shower in the morning. I suggested we take turns taking him out when he wakes us up in the middle of the night. Well, last night he wakes up and I had already done my round so I woke up hubby and told him Lamar needed to go out. So hubby starts huffing and puffing and making all kinds of raquet getting up and getting Lamar out of the crate, and taking him out...by the time it was all said and done, I was so awake from all the noise and commotion that hubby caused that I should have just taken him out myself. And when he had to take him out before he got in the shower this morning, he did the same thing...making all kinds of raquet, huffing and puffing, banging the crate...It was like hubby was a 2 year old pitching a fit bc he had to take his dog out. Well, this morning I said something to him in a not-so-kind tone how I didn't appreciate how he was acting. Well, now he's mad for the way I talked to him and he won't talk to me today. I'm taking care of 2 yorkies and a 7 week old labrador. And I refuse to take care of a grown man who is acting like a 2 year old!

I swear, if he is acting this way about helping me out with the dogs, how is he going to act when we have children?! I REFUSE to be married but have the responsbility of a single mother. If he keeps this act up, I won't ever have children with him.

Sorry this is so long...I'm just mad and needed to vent.
