I don't get my DHx(. I ask him to do one thing,take out the garbage thats due on wednesday mornings and WHERE is he? Hes laying in the bedx(.

As i laid my head down last night i thought "mmmm,maybe i should leave him a note and remind him?" (he works nights)

I absolutely refuse to do it! That D*** garbage can pile up into a mountian for all i care;-)

sorry,its just drives me NUTS!

Perhaps you should take the garbage upstairs and dump it on him? }(

My DH is lazy like that too. Anything I ask him to, he says he will, and then it never gets done...
Until I let it sit. Eventually, his own filth/mess/clutter, etc... will drive him nuts and he'll start whining about it.

Then I can just give him the "I told you so" look. It's so very gratifying!

OMG,it IS gratifying isn't it! }(

LOL,Shelly im not sure dumping garbage on his head will work,he would probably push it off the bed and continue with his nap.x(

Thanks for listening guys!

I am the luckiest girl in the world. My DH empties the dishwasher and makes the bed every single day.

He does do other stuff that I let slide, because you know, at the end of the day, the good outweighs the bad!:7

I don't have it bad, but sometimes . . .

Dirty used papertowels all over the kitchen counter and it would be a miracle if he could clean up the coffee grinds he spills on the counter every morning when he makes the coffee. Ya think he could see 'em ! Sometimes I do it, and sometimes I wait to see how bad he can actually let them get.

I think the worst thing for me is that my kids (from a previous marriage) would catch H#(( if they left any kind of a mess at all and then he makes his messes and apparently it is OK.

I just try to make a game of it and only deal with it if I can't stand it anymore.

I'm sure he doesn't like some of the things I do so tit for tat I guess !

Well, if he works nights, maybe he was just tired when he came home? Maybe you can swap chores, to coincide better with your schedules. If you work during the day, it may make more sense for you to take out the garbage since you're getting up early anyway.

Try not to let these things get to you; I'm sure the things he does outweighs the things he doesn't. Last week, I was hoping that my husband had started the laundry by the time I got home. He hadn't.....he had replaced the garbage disposal and put up the new bathroom light fixture instead! :7 :7 :7 Whatta guy!!

My DH problem is socks. Socks everywhere, he even will put his socks right next to the clothes hamper, but not directly in the hamper. He also has the same papertowel problem on the counter as a PP dh, and my favorite, he leaves every cabinet door open in the kitchen that he uses. There, I feel better...

Mine leaves garbage and dishes around the bed but since they are on his side I leave them. A new feng shui I suppose.....

I was going to ignore the DH/DW issue and address the working nights issue myself.

I have worked the graveyard shift 13 years. We have never needed day care, no one has had to take a day of work for a sick kid. It has worked out well for the family but it kills our social life

Most activities happen around a day shift schedule. In order to participate in "life" a night shift person is usually sleep deprived. A day shift person would not understand this unless they worked shifts for a while.

We have a white board in our kitchen that we use to communicate in case the verbal communications get awry.

I have a neighbor who thinks I'm the laziest ever. He'll be out there at 8am on his days off making all kinds of noise. This year I'm putting headlights on my lawn mower and mow the lawn at 3am!
