I think my husband needs a chore chart. One of those fancy ones with lots to check off. Because taking out the garbage really needs 6 check marks: one for each garbage can going out of the house then one for the garbage making it to the curb on trash day. Then a check for cleaning his snake cage, one for picking up dog poop, for doing dishes. Maybe get prizes for days I don't have to remind him to do his chores. Or prizes for doing extra things.
OK OK, I get it. I'm complaining. A lot. I know there are chores that I really need to do more. But honestly I do way more than the man does. I get all the essentials done on time every week. He gets clean laundry weekly, even if I don't put it away on time. Food is cooked daily, with grocery shopping done weekly. And I cook his favorites. I pay the bills and keep things running smoothly. If it weren't for me he would forget to do everything! Seriously. If I don't do it or ask, he won't change MJ's diaper. It's so annoying! And just getting him to do one task is too much, he gets distracted and starts doing something else and continues until he totally forgot the first thing he was on.
I really just get so annoyed. I think he does need a chore chart with a check list for things he should be doing daily. He promises to so them, but then 3 days later the tasks still aren't done. I get it that he works; he is the only one bringing he the bacon. But I have my hand pain and watch the monster all day. It's hard getting chores done with a toddler clinging to you. Sigh.
