[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to tell him specifically what you want him to do. 
A lot of men are like this because they DON’T KNOW how to manage multiple responsibilities - either they don’t recognize the existence of the responsibilities or they feel it’s not their role to deal with it all. Fear of failure maybe?
 I don’t understand how it is possible but a lot of men are just like your husband. They need lessons or training or something. Take baby steps and delegate some of the load to him. Make a list of everything you do in a day, a week, a month to run the household. Ask him to check off some items for himself and then LET HIM DO IT. 
No micromanaging. No nagging and no whining. The business of marriage -  Partners share the work. Period. [/quote]

So here's my next question: when the items on that list don't get done, and the result has a negative impact on the kids or our lives or whatever, how should I respond? "Sorry guys, that was dad's responsibility, so I guess you'll miss soccer season this year!" "Kids, cavities aren't that big of a deal. I'm sure dad will schedule dentist appointments for you someday. Or it's only seven more years until you drive and you can take yourself!"[/quote]
