[quote=Anonymous]Your husband should go get the boxes because it would make you happy.

When it’s time to put them away again, don’t store them in the attic.

I wouldn’t be using those attic stairs if they are the way you describe them.  Might it be that your husband is a little worried about the steps too?

Go get a good sturdy ladder and the two of you can ge the boxes down with you waiting at the bottom to make sure he’s okay.

It’d be a good bonding experience, and will probably go down in family legend.

I learned a lot from watching my parents fight, and from watching them work together to solve problems.  Those aren’t bad skills to learn.

As for your stress, slow the hell down.  I’m serious.

You shouldn’t be as stressed as you are with two kids, kids who aren’t in school, so your time is your own.

If you don’t want to make Thanksgiving dinner, get take-out.  Your kids will be thrilled especially if one of the take-out options is pizza or Mcdonald’s.

You are an adult, the beauty of being an adult is that there is very little you have to do.

The Christmas decorations matter to you, and based on that, your husband should help you get them down especially if it is a difficult chore.

Outsourcing to a handyman is a good idea, they are in business to do the jobs husbands (and some wives) can’t or don’t want to do.  Nothing wrong with hiring one.

I wouldn’t ‘have a friend help”.  The friend had no vote in putting the decorations in that location, and the friend won’t be there to enjoy your family on Christmas morning.  Also, a friend won’t ever look on your husband the same way if you tell her (or him) “Billy won’t get the Christmas decorations down”.  They will think of your husband as a rat.  Believe me, you don’t want your friends to view your husband that way, especially if the friend is an opposite sex friend.

If you hire a handyman, your female friends will think “great idea!” and your male friends can’t argue about you hiring a legitimate professional to do legitimate work, and they will be in the wrong if they sniff about it.

Finally, cool it with the dramatics.  Five years ago, you were real excited about having a baby with your husband.  You liked him enough to have another baby, and you like him enough to remain married.  He’d figure it out if you died, just as you would.

Most men don’t care about the dentist until their wives make them care, that’s how it was for my husband.
