[QUOTE="Shari, post: 383680, member: 1848"] I used to be the one that cleaned out the coolers, but I quit. I saw no reason why I should be out there cleaning up after him (we have seperate coolers, as he usually will pack so much beer for himself that there is no room for other drinks for the kids, so I got a seperate cooler) while he sat on his rump in front of a screen, so I quit. So now, when he needs the cooler, he just takes it and dumps whatever is left in it and goes. I take his paycheck now. Started that a few months ago to offset the car expense. But even when I didn't take his check, it didn't phase him to throw away perfectly good beer. He did take cgfg's horse to get his shoes reset on Friday and commented that the price of shoing the horses seemed high. But will he go pull the shoes before they lose them this fall? Most likely not. I asked him to work on laundry while he sat in front of the tv Friday. He washed one load. The dryer is broken and he had to hang them out. He's not doing that, even though we can save $75 a month by not using the dryer. He needs reality to smack him upside the head. He needs to pay the bills that make the hosuehold run and see why you don't throw away beer, or horseshoes, or cars. He needs to see the end result of a little extra effort to hang out laundry vs throwing it in the dryer. He needs to see that leaving 4 skillets on the stove makes it difficult to cook supper the next night, and the next night, and the next night. And while laundry isn't fun, and is an inconvenience, it needs to be done. (he was milling around the bedroom this morning sighing annd complaining cause he doesn't have socks in his drawer - they're in a basket in the living room - FIX IT!) And he really needs to see that cars aren't disposable... [/QUOTE]
