Yeah, I know. I go forever without writing a post and then I write 3 short, cryptic notes. Sorry.
Wait, no, I’m not.
Anyway. I’m supposed to be writing a post for Home-Ec 101 on how to get your husband to help out around the house and every time I write something, it comes off as sounding bitter or like a complete lie.
QUICK! Someone come up with a good home-ec 101 question for me that does NOT involve getting your husband to do some work around the house, PLEASE!
Update: My cousin suggested cat box maintenance. Perfecto. Thanks!

I thought all women knew the best way to get their husbands to help out was through the promise of lots and lots of sex.
serious commenting starts here: In my experience, it’s hard to accept, understand and incorporate the fact that we think differently about the housework stuff than our husbands do. Intellectually, I know that all I need to do is ask him to help me. Emotionally and personally, I want him to do it without me having to ask. When I have to ask, I feel like I’m his mother and that’s just not right. But for whatever reason, my asking him doesn’t feel like “mothering” to him, he just wants to know what the heck it is I want him to do.
