[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 471833, member: 11791"] Helps if the "help asked for" is a daily thing... really. Multiple logic going on here (this is husband logic, so it's how some guys think at least)... husband says its easier to keep track of "not usually his" tasks, if they are DAILY. He doesn't have to "notice", doesn't have to "think". He just works out his normal evening plan with TASK inserted, and it magically gets done. For me? it was [U]dishes[/U]. I cook, load and unload dishwasher, put stuff away... and he complains about the "mess" in the kitchen. OK, husband... then YOU take over doing the dishes. Result? DONE. Every single night. Sometime between 5 and 8. Every pot, every pan, every wood-handled knife and anything else that won't (or just didn't) fit in the dishwasher... CLEAN and air-drying. All I have to do is put them away when making breakfast... or assign THAT to one of the kids. I just won three times... Kitchen is cleaner, AND husband isn't complaining about the kitchen... AND I have a few more minutes left over... for dealing with difficult child, or for restoring my own sanity. Other small stuff that is consistent and helps... always putting laundry in laundry bucket AND "ready to wash" (pockets empty, buttons undone, etc.), always returning lunch bucket ready to re-load, etc. BUT only spring ONE at a time...
