[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 207923, member: 2459"] I was just thinking that very thing! LOL Besides the mess in the kitchen, I would quit doing ANYTHING for him. He wants clean clothes....he can wash them. And when he pulls out only his....do the same thing. Another thought....and this will take a little time but might be worth it. Journal your entire day for a few days or a week. (Of course you would have to do this BEFORE you go on strike). 6:30 - got up. 6:40 - cleaned up crumbs and coffee ring on kitchen counter, put coffee mug in dishwasher, put newspaper in trash. 6:50 - showered, etc. Put every single thing you do on that list. Give it to him and then quit doing "his" stuff at home. Kind of like the joke I heard once. A man comes home from work to find toys strewn across his front yard and the kids running around half dressed, screaming like banshees. Confused, he walks into the house. The living room is destroyed...toys everywhere, cushions off the couch, clothes scattered and remnants of food all over. Growing a bit concerned, he goes into the kitchen. Breakfast dishes are still out, cereal and milk are spilled, other food is everywhere, the trash is overflowing and scattered by the dog and it's just a general disaster. Really concerned now, he goes to the master bedroom where he finds his wife in bed reading. "Honey", he says, "What's wrong? Are you ok?" The wife looks up and calmly replies, "Yes dear, everything is fine. But....you know when you ask what I do all day while you're at work? Today I didn't do it." As for your husband asking why HE has to do things........um....because you're an ADULT and you live here too! [/QUOTE]
