[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciated the long post from 9:39. Especially this part, which is what my DH is lacking:

"Third, my parents raised me to internalize the idea that [b]if others are working, you shouldn't be sitting on your a@@ watching. [/b] I teach my kids the same thing. If I am clearing the table, they damn well better be helping, unless they are doing homework or something like that. OP's DH needs to accept that that is the case. [b]No one relaxes until everyone relaxes[/b]."[/quote]

Have you raised it with your DH? What does he say?

I think it is an important lesson for kids for life success, both for their relationships and their work life. Kids imitate what they see at home.[/quote]

100%

My kids will call their dad out if they see him sitting on the couch while I'm cleaning the kitchen. (They've never seen me sitting on the couch while he is doing something...). He's pretty good about doing his fair share but sometimes has an "I'll get to it later" attitude that just doesn't work because it means in reality I'll end up doing it. [/quote]
