[quote=Anonymous][quote]You'll get a lot of why did you put up w this - but we need to deal w your reality which is a lot of our realities

I had to carve off very clear and distinct tasks and slowly increase them - one of them was cooking dinner twice a week when he's working from home - took me actually typing out instructions but once he had those he did it and it's helped immeasurably. I also gave him all house maintenance stuff and we outsource the rest like laundry cleaning yard.

The refrain j get is "[b]what you are always saying I don't do enough[/b]" ugh - hugs to you [/quote]

Agree with this, down to the incredibly annoying refrain.  ("Ummm... no, if you are doing 25% and I am doing 75%, then the problem is not that I'm [i]saying[/i] you don't do enough, but that you [i]in fact are not doing [/i]enough.)

I have also found that the approach mentioned above is one of the better ones.  Choose something specific and concrete, and then ramp it up slowly.  For us, it has been school lunches and some of the pet related chores.[/quote]
