[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just this morning I realized we need a morning checklist.  When my husband is helping to get the kids get ready in the morning he waits for me to tell him each and every step (and can't handle too many steps at once) and just stands there or starts chatting in between my requests of what he should be doing next.  It irritates both of us.  I don't know why it took me so long to realize he needs a list because to me it is obvious that if the kids haven't put on their shoes and it's 5 minutes to leave, you need to tell them to put their shoes on.

I think a checklist would work for most of your issues (also ask *him* what needs to be on the checklist so he has ownership and maybe there's stuff he'd like to see that you don't do).  The cleaning kitchen checklist would include the dishwasher; nighttime checklist includes type of diaper, etc.  That won't help the dangerous objects issue or likely other issues, but don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.[/quote]

Yeah, checklist will work.  And make it easy on him - scrap the nighttime diaper/day diaper stuff.  Or, get only night diapers...period.[/quote]
