[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds like a run-off-the-mill American idiot. Nothing special, most men between 25 and 40 are like that these days. Just roll with it. Consider it a tax on being married with children.[/quote]

How did his parents run their household?  His role model for life skills is going to be his father, so hope that was not full-on patriarchy of cluelessness.

Secondly, check that he doesn't have ADHD.  If he is walking around the house in a daze, always thinking about work (the only thing he can seem to focus on), never truly listening to what people are saying, or constantly forgetting what you have taught him, he may have Adult ADHD. Which basically means he has always had ADHD (and it is hereditary) but now that  he is an adult with more responsibilities (a home, a wife, kid, actual schedule) he's hit a wall.  Basic time mgmt and help organizing aspects of his life so he can fully participate will be needed, likely via a counselor.

Thirdly, if you find yourself DOING EVERYTHING and fell like your spouse is another child you have to pick up after and baby step through basic life skills, get to counseling and work out a system for managing the household before resentment kicks in. [/quote]
