[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you start doing chores, you say "Hey, DH, I'm doing X, would you do me a favor and do Y?" Don't try to analyze why DH hasn't helped you yet, why he doesn't care about the house being clean, etc. Just tell him what you want him to do.[/quote] Agreed (though, personally, I'd drop the 'favor' bit because it would grate on me since it is not a favor). Yes, I know it's frustrating and annoying to have to tell him. It is. But. It is more important that it get done. Think of yourself as the coach or the CEO in this situation, so of course you have to manage the project and delegate tasks. If there is something your DH is good at and you were trying it, perhaps you'd have trouble seeing what was obvious to him also (I'm imagining trying to help my DH change the oil - i'm sure he would say there were obvious parts to this task that I wouldn't even notice without his help).[/quote]
