[quote=Anonymous]You can dictate the result or the process, not both. 
If you are set on having something done a particular way, tel login but don't expect him to do it when you want or as fast as you. 
If you need something done and at a specific time, tell him and don't micromanage how it gets done. 
If you need to control everything, do it yourself and seriously think about what you can let go. 
I ask myself "is anyone getting hurt?" "Is his way of doing it costing me money - wasted, broken, missed deadlines?" "Is it punishing the kids?".

Tell him clearly. Tell him once. Explain the why and the why is not just because you said so. Wash the towels and swim clothes - because it will take 2 loads and I need them folded and ready to go to the pool at 10am Saturday. Put the 2 bags of marinating chicken in the crock pot and turn it on low at x time - because it takes 3 hours and they kids need to eat when we arrive home at 5:30pm. When I nudge you the baby is crying get up and make it better - because I have an important meeting at 8am and need my rest. [/quote]
