[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think implied in this conversation, but not expressly stated, is the belief that somehow, the wife can force the husband to do more if only she insists more, using the right words and logic.

But the wife can’t do that. She cannot make him do anything, full stop. A cleaning service is accepting it as true (which it is). [/quote]
+1 Honestly...like everything in marriage, the responsibility falls on the person who cares the most. And I can say that because I am a DW whose husband cares a great deal more about a clean house, so he hired a cleaning lady and spends a good amount of time cleaning on the weekends. I just don’t care as much, so I don’t even “see” some of the stuff he wants clean. The reverse is that I care a great deal about my children’s activities, so I am the one who taught them to read and math, and spend a lot of time visiting museums and parks. I don’t know if he‘s ever read a book to them; I read to them all the time. Bottom line: if you care, you‘ll be doing it. So accept this and rejoice or just. care. less.[/quote]

He does the cleaning and you do the enrichment activity. It sounds like a good partnership. [/quote]
