[quote=Anonymous]There's a word for this, and it's "enabling." When you do things for your husband that he could easily do himself -- AND that are his responsibility, like sending his mother a birthday card -- you enable the laziness/slacking on these fronts. I'm not talking about the favors that couples can and should do for each other occasionally, like moving the other's clothes from washer to dryer or taking out the trash even if it's the other's "job." I'm talking about tasks that should be specifically his, like maintaining relationships with his family. You could knock me over with a feather if my husband ever sent a thank you card to MY parents for a gift they gave our daughter. I should be the one to send cards to his parents because why....?[/quote]
