[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, you sound like his Mother.  Your way of teaching your DH to clean the bathroom is how I teach my sons.  My DH knows how to clean a bathroom better than I do by learning from his Mother.  If your DH is not cleaning the bathroom to your standards, then you should be the one with that chore, or you should learn to accept the way he does it.  I mean, you can tell him you don't think it's clean enough, and if he wants you to teach him, then go for it, but don't think it helps any relationship to treat your partner like a child.[/quote]

OP here. The difference is, I was rightfully calling him out on his lazy cleaning (or grocery shopping). Every adult with half a brain is capable of doing these chores. IMO the laziness of not doing a good job with them = disrespect for the people he lives with. It’s rude.

I only had to do it a few times. Yes he heard it as nagging. But I’d rather have a couple little squabbles early on in our marriage like that than make a martyr of myself these past twenty years of cleaning up after him. [/quote]
