We are pushing our silver wedding anniversary.  A little bit of this goes a long way.

You also need to remember that when you start to nag, you sound like his mom and he goes into uhuh, sure, whatever mode and/or ignores you, just like when I tell my teenager to mow the lawn or stop leaving wrappers anywhere. Equals don't nag.  Would you nag your coworker like you nag your spouse and expect good results? Probably not.

I have found over the years that you need to do some things differently. If you are nagging and he is not doing, then obviously raking the leaves/stacking the dishes just so/replacing the empty toilet paper roll is just not as important to him as it is to you. So if it is that important to the poit that you are stressing over it, just do it yourself. It gets done and your stress is lower.

If you are nagging him about baby care then odds are you are too rigid and only want things done your way. He won't do anything right so why do anything in his mind. Let him do some things his way as long as it is safe and bite your tongue even if it makes you crazy. Remember that movie 3 Men and a Baby? He will make mistakes but get more confidence to eo more.

And remember that no one responds well to nagging. Sometimes a little sugar goes a long way. Include a kiss onntye back of the neck or a few grateful lingering hugs with your requests goes a long way towards getting what you want. Remember dating and courtship? You probably didn't have to nag about much of anything and most likely got everything you wanted.  ;)[/quote]
