[quote=Anonymous]What I find works is a simple thank you. Whenever my husband does something that's helpful, I say 'thank you' or 'thanks, that really made my life easier!" or something like that. As a result, he's now great about helping out with things. I also realized that I was getting mad at him because he wasn't reading my mind, so now I ask him if I need help with something, like bringing in a big box from the car. I also give him a timeframe, i.e. "I don't need it done right now" or "I really could use that because I need to do ABC". Results have been great! Changing my behavior really made a difference. I hadn't realized how resentful I sounded to him![/quote]
