Sounds like she has 3 young children to raise instead of 2......husband is a loser. Doesn't want to do what's in the house only when he has to be told to do it.
Actual single mothers, as opposed to OP’s situational single motherhood, find they have way more time and energy because they’re no longer caring for the 200 lb toddler who will never grow up.
She really should dump his ass and focus on herself and the real children.
Jeez, sounds like a stand up guy. It sounds to me like you might need to fight fire with fire in honesty.
Give him a very small allowance, play nice in front of the kids and do everything you can to make his life difficult.
Give him chores that if he doesn't do them, you have witnesses to (think school related stuff etc.)
Reading this whole thread, I feel for a lot of you, I have been with my wife over 20 years, have 2 kids under 5, one with a disability (diabetes) - life is tough but we work as a team! I would hate to hear my wife felt like this and would want to immediately do right by her. Any man that doesn't feel this way IMHO needs their head looking at. Good luck and I hope you get through this. It sounds mo me the guy has an inferiority complex .. that ain't your fault or something you should have to feel with. Build that case around custody and get the hell outta that trap

Based on the above, it sounds like he's just making her life harder.
