[quote=Anonymous]My husband also hates home repair stuff. I try to do most of it myself, but then prioritize what I do want him to do. I find it helps to be upfront and let him do it on his schedule. Like this: "There are two things that I'd really like for you to do for me before the baby is born. If you don't want to do them, I'd like to just hire a handyman to do it, okay? The two things are X and Y. I know you don't think this is top priority, but it would really make me way, way happier to have this taken care of and I would really appreciate it if we could get it done." If you have a husband that hates this stuff, you need to decide if this is important enough that you want to spend some of your goodwill/capital on it, recognizing that there's a limited supply of that, and you don't want to waste it.
