This is typical behaviour when a woman becomes a doormat!! But dead easy to sort out...
Take to your bed sick!!
If you don't have a man-flu then say you've hurt your back and can't lift the babies, see to the house or to him!
I'd say there's no talking to him so you need to force him to see how much you do. He may have to use his holidays to come out of work to care for the kids but so what! Once you break the pattern that has existed you can then implement a few small changes eg. if you make dinner, he cleans up or vice versa. OR you will iron the children's clothes but he can do the adults... whatever you need help with.
Let him be the slave for a week or two and that should make him appreciate you!
Is it normal my husband takes me for granted?
