[QUOTE="witzend, post: 158549, member: 99"] There's no money for that. There's enough money to do it ourselves or go without. He doesn't actually get anything big for himself, because he never saves up enough money from his budget to buy anything. We already both took a cut in our budgets because he wouldn't help around the house with cleaning without it being a 5 day long ordeal of my asking him saying he would do it then not following through. So we hired someone to do it for us. His choice. Of course, I have offered that he is welcome to hire someone to mow the lawn out of his personal budget. That didn't go over. I'm just not asking him to do anything any more. He's not an idiot. He can see that the grass grows. He can hear that the toilet is leaking. He can see that things are broken around the house. I give up. Besides, for him it's not about whether he does the stuff or not, it's about being in control. He wins. He's so in control he can live in a sty just like he did when he was a kid. [/QUOTE]
