[quote=Anonymous]You are right that you cannot change him, but you can change how you react to the things that he does, or doesn't do. My husband is similar in that he never wipes the counter/table after cooking or eating...this drives me crazy! But, I found that nagging never works, and trying to rationalize with him didn't help. What did help was for me to let it go, grab the dish cloth and wipe away. Instead of focusing on what he doesn't do, I switched my mind into focusing on what he does do-and then being thankful. It is awesome that he plays with your children! Join in with them! There will always be things to clean, and as your children get older, set expectations for them to help. Your 4 year old is probably already old enough to help sort laundry, help empty/load dishwasher and empty garbage. You could also institute a family chore chart-including chores for your husband to do :) [/quote]
