“All you have to do is ask”

I complain a lot about  my husband not putting in effort. He says “all you have to do is ask  ” Well okay that’s what ill do. I asked him to sell our switch and some other items to generate some money for Christmas this year. He says “sure no problem ill sell them” I had asked him to take on the task as I was busy doing well.. everything else (xmas shopping, wrapping, organizing xmas parties and events, doing all housework, working 40 hrs a week, taking care of daughter) About two weeks go by and I bring it up again, stating that I wanted to use the money for Christmas stuff. He says “if your waiting on me to sell the items for xmas money just spend what you think we will get for the items and when I sell them that’s when the money will be replenished”

So essentially he is being lazy and doesn’t want to put the effort into selling the items BEFORE xmas when we would get the most money for them (obviously people will be looking online to buy things second hand especially electronics like the switch) So I decided to do it myself as I really wanted to get the switch online before Christmas. Within a day I had it sold and almost made my money back and a nice little kid is getting a new switch for christmas.

Its incidents like this that make me not want to ask him for help. I know he wont do it in a timely manner and its just pointless. This is what makes me feel like im on my own.
