[quote=Anonymous]I could have written this post. I've realized that my DH isn't lazy, he just cannot prioritize, he is easily distracted, so while he intends to sit down and watch a movie- it turns into spacing out for 6 hours. While he intends to "do it later" it never gets done because he gets distracted by video games, movies, or napping.

What helped was not nagging, but reminding him by making a list of things and putting it on the fridge. "Here's a few things I need you to do, you don't have to do it now, but I need your help". When he would do something, I'd make a really BIG deal about it by thanking him and being appreciative. I'd cross it off the list, and add the next thing. We also had calm and loving conversations about how I need him help, and then I'd remind him of times he said he would help and it never got done- I admit, this didn't really help, it just made me feel better. But the first strategy helped.

I also got him some vitamins that are good for people with ADHD. He takes them happily, though he'd never go to therapy or take meds. Cal/Mag/Zinc + b6 + Fish oil caps.
