[quote=Anonymous]Omg this is my husband.

He REFUSES to wash any delicate dishes by hand. We don’t have much - maybe 5 things that can’t go in the dishwasher - and he leaves them in the sink and pretends that he was going to go back and wash it later.

He replaced a ceiling fan in the kids room about a week ago. The kids are at my mom’s so I hadn’t been in that room all week. Went up yesterday and the old fan was on the floor, disassembled, all over the room. Plus the ladder. Plus his tools. I asked him to go in and clean it up. You know what he did?  He took it all out of the room and left it all on the table in the hallway.

Each and every time, I just say “please finish xyz” or “you forgot to finish xyz.”  He gets that look like he’s annoyed and wants to say something (sometimes he does, but I ignore it) and he does what needs to be done.

Yes, it puts the burden on me to get him moving. But that’s better than me doing the task. It sucks, but it’s clearly not going to change. We’ve been married 19 years![/quote]
