[quote=Anonymous]Here's what you do. Make a looooong master list of every chore and responsibility the two of you have together related to the house and your kids. Include small details like who plans vacations, who braids your daughter's hair, who updates the kids' wardrobes. No detail is too small to go on your list at this point. Then you divide the list according to interest/ability/time. Your husband drives by Costco or the dry cleaner on his way home? He stops and gets that done. Anything that's on his list - anything - you totally ignore. Including important things like school paperwork or doctor's appointments. No one will die if he forgets and this item falls through the cracks. But, if he is a decent person, he will feel bad that he didn't get it done and he will try harder in the future.[/quote]
