dang, thats hard, really hard on the family as well.\nhe needs to find out what the problem keeping the jobs are. if its him he needs to make a better effort, if its the jobs ..... he needs to suck it up and take care of you and your kids. i hate to use the term "dead beat" but omg if thats it ........ lay down the law or move on.

You are ONLY human, and facing more tests and trials than most people do in a lifetime, all at once. You are tired, to the point of exhaustion even, and you need to be able to rest and recuperate some. Unless dad is abusive(which he is not), then you need to let him keep her at least part-time. You ARE NOT, neither will you be, a bad Mother if you let Dad help you with his daughter. I know it's a tough thing to do, but hopefully, it's temporary, and you can get better. Then you can resume your keeping and caring for her . Good Luck!!

I understand your problem and I think that no matter how much you talk to him thing are not going to change unless he wants too do it all on his own.  And since moving out isn't an option at the moment I suggest you find something to do with your time other than staying at home.  Like finding a job or going to school (assuming your not doing it already)  Going to the library or donating your time to charities.  Something you enjoy.  I know you love your family but YOU are 20 and you need to start making a life of your own Maybe when he sees what your doing he'll start appreciating you better.  As for your real dad start writing to him get that job and save up to go visit.  Where there is a will there is a way.  Good luck at what ever you do.

Make an arrangement with him, that he does the dishes certain days, (and to never assume that you did them. He's jsut being a lazy unreliable kid) and on certain days you will do them. Do that with all the chores, if you want. And if it doesn't do them, its supposed to, no naps or movie watching.

He may suffer from sleep apnea.  First see if his health insurance would cover an overnight stay in the hospital to see if he suffers from that, if so get him in to get tested.  Alot of people middle aged to older aged individuals who are overweight and snore suffer from sleep apnea, which is the lack of air when sleeping.  So, he is actually not getting a restful nights sleep and may feel tired during the day.  If they do find out he has that, they will have him sleep with a breathing machine to help him get a GOOD RESTFUL night's sleep WITHOUT snoring!  ALOT of people suffer from this!

You might be overdoing things, like working to many long hours and then coming home and doing a bunch more work. You may not be getting enough sleep or you might have a thyroid problem.\n\nAlso you might have chronic fatugue syndrome. Either way you should see a doctor - there are treatments and tests to determine and help you,\n\nCheck out the link below.

Write him as often you can and say a prayer for him everynight.  I can guarantee you that he is over there thinking of you, and knows that what he is doing is going to protect you and your family in the long run.  Don't worry he'll be home safe.  God Bless.

may be he was tired from work.. talk to him, and work it out...you're getting married for goodness sakes!! Those are tiny problems compared to what you will be facing in a married life...

I love him very much. But there ARE a few things, now that you mention it. He can't focus on more than one thing at a time. If he's watching TV, he won't hear anything else that is happening around him. If he's driving, I worry that he'll answer his cell phone and get in a wreck, because he is unaware of anything else when he is on the phone at home. He gets coffee grounds EVERYWHERE. I asked him repeatedly to do a specific thing with his old coffee grounds (throw them on the bush right outside the door) and he still puts them on top of the garbage, and all over the garbage can, and sink, and stovetop, and the floor, and the countertops...He's unreliable about paying bills on time also. And when he misplaces something (all the time) he starts to crash around and throw papers, etc. and disrupts everything. He makes a lot of noise in the morning. He "sniffs" in the mornings- I want to get up and hand him a tissue and say BLOW, WILL YA!

tell him to get a job, or get the hell out! seriously!  what kind of man is he??? if hes not willing to pull his weight, do you think he can really fill your needs?  naturally you can help him on job searches, but he needs to be a big boy now... if he can be out of his parents house, then he can join the ranks of the working adult!!!!

Tell him to get off his butt and support his family! If he is lazy, threaten to kick him out of the house. He's the man of the house, and he needs to pull his own weight more than anyone else.

If he works to support you, and you are not working outside the home then you really have no right to complain.  I mean, you do get to stay at home, so why should he work 8 hours a day and have to come home to help you.  I don't think you are being fair.
