[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 596989, member: 6546"] Ugh! I would be livid! But....let me just share a few things that work in my household: First - men DO get praise as though they just mowed the back 40 with a pair of embroidery snips. It costs me nothing to lather praise - and it seems to be a great incentive to get them to do it again, and again, and again... Hey - clean the whole house! Knock yourself out! I will be sure and tell you just how darn SEXY you look holding a mop with your dishpan hands! Second - if your cooking ruins something (accident or not) you are responsible for replacing it. Broken spoons, bowls with solidified gunk in them - well, somebody has to go out and get new. Third - This is a family. There are no "treats for one". You make it and share with all - or you do not make it. Period. Fourth - If you cannot do something...whether because you do not know how, are you haven't the stamina, whatever...you must wait for someone to assist you. No half-started projects that go to waste because one person couldn't handle it. Hope this helps! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
