[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone got dependent on me as a stay at home, and now that my last is going to college next year, I'm ready to go back to work and make some changes. Husband is being uncooperative as it's much easier having someone at home doing the scut work

I'm where you are. I've been giving DH assignments, then leaving the house. We found a cockroach in his bathroom because he hasn't cleaned it in so long (one of the jobs I assigned him). Disgusting. So he cleaned it, finally. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. I used to do all the scut work, but those days are done. I have a job now, so DH has to pitch in. He whines that he works long hours (he does, and so do I, only I work at home), but I ignore his whining, and keep giving him more jobs. He can vacuum instead of watching that tv show! He can take out the recycling, change the sheets, etc. Each of these jobs does't take that long!! I used to do them all, but no more. Good luck, PP!! [/quote]

I believe I'm the PP - LOL. Old age setting in?

He's been good about fixing things, and I can't do that so I'm now cutting him some slack. He's been more cooperative lately, perhaps because he knows when the last one is out the door, I could be too - LOL.[/quote]
