Please don't go in thinking he needs to do all the changing or that will be a recipe for disaster.   My dad was a yeller, especially about the house never being clean.  Kids are not naturally going to clean and it takes time and effort to figure out the right approach.  We still don't have it down with our kids.  When my husband would get upset about the kids not cleaning up after themselves, I said okay, but what will be our strategy, its not going to happen by magic or constant yelling.  Realize it will be more work on us to get the kids to do this until it is second nature.  We may pursue going to positive parenting class etc.  I admit, I don't have a blueprint for not yelling and still getting your kids to be responsible around the house.  I don't think DH's parents were yellers so I'm not sure if there is something about our situation that is different I.e. more stuff, less time at home with the kids, or his mom did more to clean up after the kids.  Anyway, it's something for us both to work on together.

Good luck.[/quote]
