[quote=Anonymous]1. Make simpler dinners that take 30 min 2. On weekends make large meals like lasagna, stuffed peppers etc so you don’t have to cook beyond a salad on mon and tues 3. Have dinner with your kids at 6:30 with or without DH. If he comes late he can get his own dinner from leftovers or cereal. 4. And most important and hardest: thank profusely and say positive things when he comes home by dinner. And be sincere. It sounds backwards and very mental load on you but it may really really help. Positive reinforcement works much better than negative especially with men in my experience. Feels silly and counterintuitive but worth a try for two-three weeks? I do this and dh does it with me. I thanked him for doing the laundry for a month straight since I hate that chore and he’s ended up doing mine and the kids every week now. He thanks me for making dinner and picking up my clutter and I want to do it more. [/quote]
