[quote=Anonymous]Sit him down and be nice about it. Tell him how it makes you feel -- embarrassed, maybe, or afraid of Lime disease. Tell him that he works hard all week and it's too hot to be out mowing grass and you'd prefer he spend the time with the kids. Tell him on a Friday, and close with telling him you'll pay to have it cut in Monday. If he doesn't do it over the weekend, have it cut during the day while you're both at work.

My home went to shit when my DH kept saying he wanted to do certain things do and didn't. I deferred to him for too long and things piled up. We really didn't have the disposable income to have people do random chores for us like hanging curtain rods and mowing grass -- things I COULD do, but he said he wanted to do them.

He was hospitalized at one point and I took advantage to call in several people do most things while I did other things. He pouted about it when he got home, and still brings it up occasionally. But you know what? I was so so much more at peace at home with all the trash hauled out of the garage, the walls spackled, the curtain rods hung, and the grass mowed and edged.[/quote]
