[QUOTE="witzend, post: 112450, member: 99"] husband would do the same thing. But, I have no problem looking at him and saying "Honey, I hurt really bad" and draw him in with the sympathy. Then I talk a little about the realistic limitations that I have. This makes him think he needs to help. When he slips back into doing nothing, I say something quite blatant, like "What the heck are you thinking anyway? I (insert your disability here) and you're playing computer games? When did the house ever look like this on a normal day, and who exactly do you think does that every day? I don't do it because it's fun or I like it, I do it because it needs to be done! I can't do it right now, so it's time for you to [i]step up[/i]. I'm crippled for crying out loud!" It doesn't often have to get [i]that[/i] far, but it sure shapes him up when it does...
