[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop asking over and over at random times.  It puts him on edge.  Set a time with him to sit down and plan what chores will be done by who, both regular and one-time things, in the next week.  If it doesn't get done, ask why and genuinely listen to the answer.[/quote]

OP here. We have sat down together, and we made a short list of what he was going to get done within a week. He came up with everything and I said great. The week passed... not one thing was done. I asked him what happened to the list and how come nothing got done? He said he just never got around to it. He has two days off and I took the kids with me, over grandmas for a weekend to himself.

Did you ask him why he said he would do it and then did not?  Point out that it damages the relationship when you cannot count on him to keep his word, and that it is not fair to you.

It sounds like he agreed to it because it was what you wanted to hear and he is conflict-averse.  Emphasize to him that you would rather have him decline a chore, than make empty promises.[/quote]
