[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It goes beyond not changing lightbulbs.  My husband does very little house-related work.  He mows the lawn and sometimes take out the trash.  I keep my own car gassed up, washed, cleaned and maintained.

I change every bulb, have personally decorated, rearranged, moved  and refininshed furniture around and hung pictures in every room.

I do all the gardening, raking, minor repairs and have peeled off wallpaper border off nearly every wall.

I renovated my laundry room solo.  Ripped out cabinets, repainted and hung some shelves.

So frustrating!  If I want something done, I do it myself or it doesn't get done.  Husband never wants to pay for a handyman, either.  Too cheap.

So, this Christmas, I've started some projects that won't be finished by time DH parents come over.  Let them see that our kitchen light is not working, let them notice that the bathroom has lost all of the wall hooks.  Let them deal with the hassle of a toilet that may or may not flush and enjoy the experience of a shower than turns into a bath (tub hasn't drained properly for years).  I'm done nagging my husband.

Question: Did he once do some of these things? Did you ever correct the way he did them? If so, that explains his attitude now. You can tell him what to do or you can tell him HOW to do it, but you don't get to do both.[/quote]
