useless spouse?

Is anyone else's husband completely incompetent and useless when it comes to helping out around the house? I can literally get up at the crack of dawn and start cleaning the entire house without him even offering to take the trash out! He just sits there and plays video games for hours and won't even move so I can vacuum. I'm beyond irritated how much common sense do you need to offer someone a hand or at least move out of their way so they can get the job done?? I'm sure my hormones aren't helping but I'm livid!

Thanks girls I'm glad I'm not a complete lunatic lol. He just got out of the military so he is working only part time right now and taking a break which I understand but geese I wish he'd at least acknowledge that I have done laundry vacuumed cleaned bathrooms and bedrooms dishes and mopped all while he sat there staring at the tv. He's just not very appreciative he's never even bought me flowers or done anything nice for me just because

You're not alone.  Sad to say that most of the housework/ yard work/ renovations have been done by me. Or my friend will help me. Its bax also when he jas only given our first daughter 4 baths in the 2 years she's been alive. I dread thinking about when our son is born. :/

Does he work? My husband only takes out the trash, sometimes I do that myself, but my husband does work really long hours at work and only gets 1 day off a week, so I don't bug him about helping out too much, but he knows not to leave clothes all over the floors and stuff, that drives me NUTS! I would be irritated if he was sitting there playing games for hours not helping out, my husband knows if I'm vacuuming, you move your damn feet because I'm going to hit them as hard as I can if you don't, hahaha. Have you tried talking to him about it? Sometimes men literally need it spelled out.
