[quote=Anonymous]He is an old dog that will not learn new tricks. He is very used to getting his own way. He is used to your MIL doing the busywork. Your DH needs to figure out how to accept him as he is, and develop strategies. Give him tasks to do. Maybe there are things you can ask him to "be in charge of," like being the one to get your 3-year-old to the bathroom and shoes on before leaving the house. I can see how this would be very annoying, but it sounds like FIL just doesn't see what needs to be done (kind of like my DH just doesn't notice his dirty socks on the floor) rather than deliberately opting not to help even though he sees a need.
