[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try really hard to give my DH partial credit. He’s never ever going to turn into the partner I thought he was going to be, and I’ve tried really hard to let it go. [/quote] This is what I do too. It’s impossible to compel another adult to do things, and when I point out the work that didn’t get done, somehow I’m the shrew. I got tired of being considered “the problem”.[/quote] this is me too. when I bite my tongue because I see [b]items from the dishwasher "still drying"[/b] I remind myself of the things he does around the house that I hate doing, or other ways he takes care of me. I'm not perfect either and I feel it's better in the long run to let some things slide[/quote] I see this come up on here all the time. You people really need to upgrade your dishwasher. Yes, there are some items that will of course trap water (water bottle tops, for example) and need to be handled, but the vast majority of your dishes should be 100% dry when they come out of the dishwasher. Also, a really good dishwasher can handle ALL the items you have. We put everything, including our very expensive knives, the VitaMix, and our All Clad pots and pans in the dishwasher. It saves so much time. Overall though, I like your method - think of all the good things and let the little things slide. I do think sometimes people get so wound up by the little things piling up that they lose sight of the big picture. [/quote]
