Ladies: Do you have HUSBANDS that do things around the house but the few little things YOU asked them to do..
They keep putting it off!!!
I just don’t know anymore how to get my husband to change a light bulb (the fixture is too heavy for me to do).
Put up a few shelevs in the pantry so food isn’t laying around.
I would attempt to do it myself and I am a person who does, I landscaped the yard while I was 6 months pregnant, but I have a rambunctious 3 yr old and a 9 month old I can hardly get the housework done!
What do I say to make him do these things? Does anyone else experience this?
Some things we can’t do together, I am trying to keep my kids away from him when he is working on something for safety reasons and to just help him finish faster. The 3 yr doesn’t nap, btw.
He works very hard at his business he owns, flooring installation, but when he does hoouse stuff it’s only landscaping. But he works generally 50-60 hours a week – hard labor. He’s not a momma’s boy believe me, he was an orphan of the court.












If you’ll ask your man to help you, I’m sure he will. Don’t nag him – that’s the #1 thing they hate. We’re not their mothers and they don’t want us to be either. Respect his position as your husband and your kids’ father and just simply ask for his help. He’ll do it – maybe not in the time frame you think it should be done. But when he does do it, give him a hug & kiss and thank him. He’ll be much more willing to help you in the future if there’s no nagging.
The more you ask the least likely he is to do it. they have to think its alllll their ideal. Now me I ask once,he dont wanna do it fine,I just get a agreat looking guy to come over while hes home and I sweetly say to my man. I know your too busy for this honey so tom or whoever said he didnt mind doing it for me. Next damn time hes more than happy to do it for me!
I’ve been in food-service my entire career. Because of that, I don’t like to cook at home. I will do it, but I don’t like to. If you don’t like what your husband does when he comes home, then find something else about him that you DO like, and concentrate on that. You need a shelf? Build a shelf. It takes about 10 minutes with some boards and some bricks to pile at either end. You want your marriage to be happy? Stop telling your husband what he needs to do, and appreciate the good things that he brings into your life.
