house help

I need some advice on boyfriend help. He is very good with my lil man and helps take care of him. I am 29 weeks pregnant now with our lil girl.  My issue is that I need help around the house. I'm still working doing housekeeping 5 days a week so we can get our bills paid and taking my son to and from school and getting all house hold stuff and washing and putting up laundry and cooking and cleaning the house. He cooks sometimes and does dishes some times but I need more help than that!  But when we talk about it he just says he will do it tomorrow or the next day! I can't let stuff sit like that! I am not a neat freak but I can't let dishes sit for days and get nats and flies and nasty smells goin like he does. How do I talk to him about this! I don't know what to do. I am dreading having to clean up after 4 people by my self!

I feel that way wen its weekend time an I never get to sleep in plus my 18 month old still wakes up 3 or 4 times a night an he gets to sleep till 10 then he takes his nap an don't help with our 7 kids. Now yes that frustrated me but during the week when he works I don't ask any from him.

I know there are def ways but dang I'm not alone here so I kinda think I should get some help from my man. I don't know if that too much to ask but I don't believe in woman sittin at home doin all household stuff and raisin the kids alone. I work more than he does and I do everything else. He does barely anything including paying bills. Also I'm a housekeeper so all I do every day is clean all day! He sits on his *** all day then goes and works for a few hours. I just don't know how to talk to him about this. Maybe its just me but I'm not super woman and I'm not alone so why am I doing everything alone? He drives me bonkers some times. Lol
