Starting to feel resentment towards my partner

Story cut short.. we have 4 kids overall, he earns a lot of money working 6 days a week, he doesn’t have to work the 6th day but does for ‘more money’.. the 6th day that he choices to work is the only full day we can have a as a family as I work on the Sunday & two other days but nights. So I do everything all day everyday 6 days a week, it’s draining and tiring. In the evenings sometimes I ask for time alone but there’s always a ‘but I need a shower’ or ‘I’m tired’ or he says I can but then watches YouTube and tells the kids to shush so then I just end up taking the kids upstairs with me so don’t have alone time. I’ve asked for him to have the 6th day off work and he says why/it’s more money/ you want all these things or we have these things coming up etc. He’s obsessed with a game on his phone so much that I feel like it’s getting in the way and sometimes he’ll spend downstairs playing it or watching YouTube whilst I’m in bed waiting for him. I could go on but that’s a sum up. Anything I say or try to get him to understand he doesn’t fully get it and it’s frustrating. Any advice please?

Nope! You need to be firm! Or he’s gonna walk all over you🤦🏾‍♀️ These men need guidance and as a woman, wife, and mother to his children, that’s your responsibility. Let him be a man but don’t condone the bullshit. That’s an excuse. He can watch YouTube on his break at work, he can play the game on his break at work. When he comes home it should be you and the kids getting his full attention until he’s ready for bed! Our men need tough love at times. Set some boundaries in your relationship.

He works through his breaks for ‘more money’ lol

I briefly spoke to him about how I feel and he ignored me saying he doesn’t have anything to say.. when I asked again before bed is there anything he wants to say he said ‘if that’s how you feel then that’s how you feel’ I’m abit shocked tbh and feel like telling him it’s not working and call it a day.. we go on holiday in a few days lol I dunno what to do

Don’t get me wrong he will help with some of the housework, Like do the washing and dishwasher but it’s not enough in all honesty
