[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 366725, member: 6546"] KTMom-- First, gentle ((((hugs))))... Second, I think you really need to get into your husband's face about this one. Sometimes, the more blunt you are, the better. During our recent move, I really overdid it and I actually hurt myself. Nothing too serious, but I had strained my muscles and needed to take it easy for a few days. Well, we had things packed in bins that were waaayyyy too heavy for me...especially when I was trying to "take it easy"...but husband just left them in my way. I asked him a couple times for help with the bins, but my request went in one ear and out the other. The binds sat and sat. I finally had to grab both his shoulders, look him straight in the eyes and say "These bins are too heavy for me--can you please lift them and put them away?". And then, finally realizing that I really [I]did[/I] need his help, husband took are of it right away. You may need to take your family members by the shoulders, too! [/QUOTE]
