Often times though I catch myself crossing the border and helping him in his area...mostly it's because I want something done a certain way and he refuses to take criticism lolAmanda Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206434673490641348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-35431376075835306532011-11-16T15:42:54.582-05:002011-11-16T15:42:54.582-05:00HI - just found your blog from skinnyrunner.

My husband does the outside chores like mowing our yard, cleaning out gutters, working on cars and I do all the grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning. We split doing dishes based on who is home and available when they need to be done. He'll also clean as a surprise for me every once in a while when he knows I'm really stressed. It works for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-52078869888412540722011-11-16T13:34:06.471-05:002011-11-16T13:34:06.471-05:00I do most of the inside housework and my husband d...I do most of the inside housework and my husband does the outside. I also make him take out the trash. It is kinda a ritual with him and our dog! Ollie goes crazy when he sees Eric taking out the garbage bag. When it comes to dishes, I usually wash and he dries. I hate drying, I don't know why! Ohh and he won't make the bed either! I work from home now, but before I left before he did and he would NEVER make it! I just got over it and made it myself when I came home from lunch! Oh well!The Baseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338393563482831370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-29229819834287173032011-11-15T21:08:03.010-05:002011-11-15T21:08:03.010-05:00Greg doesn't do anything and he will tell you ...Greg doesn't do anything and he will tell you so.

He takes out the garbage, and thats about it. It seems to be a constant battle in our house because he doesn't even pick up dirty clothes, clean up his dishes, or hang up coats and put shoes away. I try my best to not become annoyed because he grew in a house where his mom did everything for him...until he was 22. EVERYTHING. <br /><br />One day he'll get the hang of it, I hope.Britt @ Chicago Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628838959053342745noreply@blogger.com
