[QUOTE="Star*, post: 527203, member: 4964"] I have found that this is the same here. HOWEVER - even though it is THEIR mess, and they SHOULD be responsible and WE are cruising right along doing the LIONS share of the work? They lack motivation. I think maybe (for me) I would say something like - Okay I'm going to do A, B, C, and you've done everything else -but if you could just tackle this one thing for me that I can't seem to get done - I'd apprecaite it -and then we'd be closer to done. (NO WHERE NEAR DONE - BUT I said CLOSER) And then I give him - things that I want him to do - But I have to make it seem like I just can't do it without him doing it. He revels in that. YES I can open the pickle jar - I can bench 250 lbs. But I have to bring him the pickle jar because he needs me to have him open the pickle jar. There are really legitimate things he can do that I can't - and vise versa - but I learned this little neat trick.........FROM HIM. This is how he got ME to [I]do[/I] the lions share. ROFL. [/QUOTE]
