I wouldn't do a damn thing if I were you. I would let it all pile up until your hubby notices and when he asks why you aren't doing anything, tell him that you are waiting on him to help you. Make it something that he would notice fast. Like do you do his laundry? Quit doing it! Quit cooking...he will notice when there's no dinner to eat. Don't do anything else until you have his help. Men are selfish. They aren't going to do anything unless there's something in it for them.

I'm just mean. My hubby says that I'm "so vindictive." But if he does something to make me mad, I don't let him know that I am angry. All I do is say, "Alright, we'll see," and then walk away. That is usually enough to scare him into doing whatever I want him to do. hehehehe Men are very simple creatures. You just have to know how to work 'em.

Janet, I completely understand the feeling that scouts seems to come first, except my mom is the one I got it from.
It is very frustrating and I agree with Rebecca.....don't do anything and tell him you are waiting for his help if he (that is IF) he notices. |

I do have to admit, I love the ideas shared here alot!! I just don't think I could let things go that long....LOL Things like that don't bother him....for instance, he has a four car garage that you can't get a car into. There is so much crap just all over the place that you can't walk more the 3 steps without climbing over something or tripping. I just don't go into his garage anymore. If by chance he puts something in my garage....I just take it and THROW it into his.

You might just have to think for a second to come up with something really good, but you can do it!

HAHAHA I learned it from my mom and my grandmother.  If someone depends on you for something, then you are in control. I do a lot around the house, but I also demand that my husband helps out. If he doesn't do his part, then neither do I!!!!

 My mom did that one time! She has always been a homemaker without any help from my dad. She took care of 3 kids... kept a spotless house... cooked... waited on my Dad hand-and-foot... he never lifted a finger around the house. It all started with a stupid argument over a phone bill... and BAM!!!! The next thing you know she was on a total boycott! Didn't take him long to apologize to her, either! I guess washing his own dirty drawers, cleaning up after himself and fixing his own dinner wasn't as easy as he thought it was!!! I LOVED it!!!! You should give it a try, Janet! |
