[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow you put up with a lot more than I would. He sounds like my 10 year old son *if* I would let him get away with it--but I do tell my 10 year old, clear your plate, put in the dishwasher, clean up your mess, etc. I do it so that when he is an adult, he does it himself and does not expect someone else to do it. It takes me longer and is more effort in the short run to teach the kids to do things for themselve but pays off later.

If my dh told me he was sick of me "bossing him around" when I asked him to (barely) pull his weight, I'd tell him he was free to leave and live on his own and answer to no one but himself but I that I signed up for an equal partnership, not servitude.

and yeah, no more dinner for him.

and fwiw [b]my DH is decent about doing his share but after the third or 4th time he criticized how I was folding his shirts, I came up with a brilliant solution: he can do his own damn laundry.[/b] When he grumbles now that he has no clean clothes (and has filled up two hampers) I merely make a noncommittal hmmm. [/quote]

This. If my DH is particular about something, then he gets to do it. Same way if I'm particular about something, then I'll do it myself.

If he was leaving the dinner table and not helping clear the dishes, then I'd definitely talk to him about it. This is a basic chore that everyone has to do. [/quote]
