[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the kid 2 now?   I swear that was the worst year of my marriage.  1-2.5 years old.

What's his excuse when you ask him to do chores?   Do you ask him to do specific things?  I find this is easier than just expecting them to do half, or even some.    If you said, "you do the dishes every night after dinner while I put Joey to bed,"  would he do it?  Absence true depression or something, he needs to function like an adult and do his share.  And I'd take the fight to get him in the routine.   "I'm tired, too, but I'm grown and I do what grownups do.  So please do the dishes."[/quote]

Oh, and I say this as a fat but not lazy person.   It does take more stamina to do a lot of this stuff if he's put on some significant weight and he's not used to it.    Especially if he's sedentary.  If he can start walking, even, for 45 minutes a day, hills and stuff, not just flat, he will quickly get back some stamina and be able to power through some of the regular drudgery more easily.  If he's gotten himself into a slump routine of doing absolutely nothing, he will not have energy to do things.   He needs to get moving in general.

And a physical exam to check for things like thyroid (or possibly depression) would help too.[/quote]
