It's a slippery slope between being a caring spouse and being a doormat. Right now, you are teaching him to treat you like a doormat because you literally do everything for him.
Talk to him. Tell him you are completely serious about cutting back on the amount of "favors" you do him. Stop massaging him, making him coffees, preparing him food, doing his laundry, etc. Just because you are the one who is staying home to take care of the children doesn't mean you have to also become his personal butler. He might not do more to help you, but at least you won't be treated like a servant in your own home.
Is it normal my husband takes me for granted?
