AITAH for asking my boyfriend to do more than just providing a pay check for our family?

i am a SAHM to our 2 year old son while my boyfriend works. it seems we both have different ideas on what our responsibilities should be. i have been asking lately for more ”help” aka basic adulting tasks that id like him to do (pick up your clothes, stop leaving your empty bottles on the counter, clean out your own lunchbox, do the cats litter every night, help me bathe our son so i can clean up supper, vacuum once in awhile, take your son outside to play so i can get supper ready)

ive told him that just because he works doesn't mean he cant help me with household tasks and our son when hes home from work, but he seems to disagree.

to him, he thinks because he is “providing/putting a roof over our head/paying the bills” that should be his only responsibility and “watching” our son when home from work. which i would barely call it watching because he comes home and sits on the couch on his phone most of the time, barely interacting with our son. which is a whole other thing i dont want to get into but pisses me off as well.

i feel like i'm not asking for a lot and these things are what any competent ADULT should be able to do without having to be told or asked, but he makes me feel like im being unreasonable and says that its basically me saying “he's never good enough or i always want more from him or im never happy with what he does already” and the list goes on.

anyhow i hope this makes sense as im kind of just getting my thoughts out before bed in hopes that someone will agree with me or otherwise tell me im flat out wrong and asking too much of someone who is supposed to be a partner and dad.

need recs for a CORDLESS vacuum cleaner that is good at cleaning pet hair

i know cordless vacuums aren't the best and ill end up buying a new one in a few years, whatever. its what i like because i hate dealing with anything that has a cord and they are convenient.

we have 2 very fluffy cats and a messy toddler so i like it for quick pick ups and just daily general use. we have laminate floors and some carpet as well.

i am looking for one that is easy to clean, not too expensive ($200-$300) and that doesnt get hair all stuck in the rollerbrush or atleast is easy to clean off. self standing would be a nice bonus too.
TIA

lunch/dinners that wont heat up the house like crazy?

we have no AC and its been really hot lately so im wondering what are your go to lunches or dinners that wont heat up the house like crazy.

i unfortunately dont have a BBQ or outdoor griddle and my only other appliances besides a stove/oven are an air fryer and rice cooker. i have 2 dutch ovens as well but im wondering if it would be worth it to get something like a slow cooker, crock pot or instant pot? and which of these would be most versatile?

what kind/color of nightstands and bedding would look good with this bed frame?

i bought this bed frame but now im questioning if its an ugly gray color. it looks off or something, maybe its the blue bedding they have on it in the picture😆

im not sure what color of nightstands and bedding to pick. im into neutral colors like white, black, gray etc. but i dont mind having a pop of color like some type of nice green or something for the bedding?? anyhow, TIA for some suggestions :)

i HAAAATE wearing bras with a passion but i need some recs. i absolutely despise wearing bras and 99% of the time im not wearing one (unless i go out in public)

i cannot stand the feeling of wearing a bra plus another layer, sometimes 2 layers. its a big sensory issue for me but im probably doing a lot of damage to my neck/back/tits by not wearing a bra pretty much ever lol

i have a F/G cup and a big band size (cant even remember rn because of how often i do not wear them)

i usually wear sports bra styles since they are more comfier although i know not the best of support so maybe there are others i could try that are similar??? idk. i just need some suggestions as ive been wearing the same 2 or 3 beat up bras for awhile now. TIA!

a piece broke off of my vacuum which is unusable now due to the missint piece. i purchased from TRUCOZIE so i emailed them about it and was told they would do a full refund since the vacuum was out of stock. which i obviously agreed to but now its been a few days with no answer or refund when they were quick to answer back at first.

customer support is useless because i got transferred to FIVE different agents and they kept saying the same thing. that its past the return date, try messaging the seller, theres nothing they can do blah blah blah. so now im just shit out of luck and money down the drain or what???
