[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife: The grass needs to be mowed. If you don't get to it this weekend, I'll do it on monday. Husband doesn't get to it. Wife does it on monday. Husband is grouchy. Wife: The grass needed to be mowed. I did it. It will need to be mowed again this weekend. If you don't get to it, I'll do it on monday. And if he continues to grouse, walk away. The first time perhaps say if he has a legitimate suggestion for solving the problem, and not just complaining, you're happy to have a conversation about it. Otherwise, no one needs to listen to pointless complaining. I put my kids who were too young or impulsive to listen in a play yard or a pack-n-play while I mowed the lawn. A child old enough to listen to me got the task of collecting all the toys scattered around the lawn or all the sticks or sweeping up grass clippings. [/quote] My variation would be that on the second round I'd say, "If you don't get to it, I'm calling a lawn service."[/quote]
