[QUOTE="witzend, post: 12916, member: 99"] Sorry, I'd be giving husband a list of things to do while he's awake, since he can't seem to set a schedule for himself. He knows how to run the washer and dryer, and he knows where the laundry goes when it's clean. He also knows how to do the dishes. And I wouldn't have any problem telling him that he needs to sweep and mop today, or vacuum, or whatever small chore just didn't get done and you need help with. Beyond that, if he won't help and is having troubles setting a reasonable sleep time for himself, I would set the sleep time for him by doing what you usually need to do during a regularly scheduled 4-5 hour time during the day. Not to say that you're going to work around the house 4 -5 hours, but hey - there's 24 hours in a day, he works 8 of them, travel to and from work can't be more than an hour each way, that leaves him 14 hours to sleep. He should be able to stay awake for a regularly scheduled 4 hours to give you time to do what you need to do without worrying about his sleep. Figuring out how to sleep odd hours is a part of the new position. He needs to step up and stop letting the family take the hit because life changed for him. He needs to help around the house some, too. It's not [i]your[/i] job to wait on him! [/QUOTE]
