[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 527206, member: 1233"] My husband is doing little for the move. I am doing little for 2 reasons. One, my body hates me and is screaming from the pain. I do what I can, and the rest? Won't get done. husband? Won't do anything. We have boxes I packed when we moved when Wiz was 17 mos. They are still packed, maybe got opened one time. They are NOT getting moved again. I am NOT packing his stuff ever. I told him last time was the last time I packed his koi and I meant it. He is waiting for me to do it and I just won't. Can't at this point, but if I wa shealthy and able bodied I still would NOT do it. Put his stuff in a garbage bbag. If he wants it, he will move it. If he doesn't? Throw it away. Youonly have to do this 1 or 2 times. Then they get smarter and either deal with it or it isn't your problem. Also don't ask. Tell. It works if you can do the mom voice. My husband didn't always respond but he likes not being greeted by a female in a fury so now he obeys on the rare occasions I give a direct order. I don't abuse it, but when it needs to happen, it happens and he ALWAYS knows he could have avoided it by not being an idiot. And yes, that is an arrogant statement - one I have learned is exactly the attitude he needs me to have. I hate it, I don't ever want to be that way, but when it has to be, someone has to be the adult. [/QUOTE]
