See I know the WHOLE problem here...

You get them when there young, husbands that is. You start training right away, take classes it you have too. Then you find what works, news papers to the bum, wooden spoons to the back of the head. It's a slow process, you have to be diligent. Slowly they catch on. YOU rule the roost!!!!

Update: Last night, while we were watching TV, DH asked if I had moved the cabinets in the basement. "No, I asked you for help a couple times last night because I can't move them myself with the boxes soggy.""So you didn't?":grumpy:! I asked him 3 times on Monday evening to help me, but he had errands to run and wouldn't help. So apparently it's my fault that I didn't pester him about it more than 3 times (which would have been taken as nagging).
 
Sounds like you're derned of you do and derned if you don't. Let me know if you need my saunter-by ankle kicking services. That's where I casually saunter by someone and suddenly kick them in the ankle. By the time they recover, I've sauntered on around the corner. Brilliant!

Went through a similar thing last night...hemmed and hawed to my DH about taking out the garbage last night, must have asked him about it 4 times, he never did it and then when we got up this morning it had already went. :grumpy: We have the garbage system that takes one can that the garbage company provides, so all your garbage has to fit in that one can only, well, it's almost full because I spent the week doing "fall cleaning"! I was ticked this morning and he kept asking me, "whats wrong w/ you?" Dummy.
