Would it be okay to make a chore list for my husband?
I think its okay to make a list. But he should be okay with it. My hubby was raised with his parents doing everything for him. He was the only child. He really doesn’t know how to clean up and where to put things or what he should do so sometimes he will ask me for a list of things he should do. You both should agree on it though. You don’t want to insult him by handing him a list of chores. Maybe you can draw up a list for you both. Sit down together and make a list of what you both think you should be doing around the house. It isn’t fair if you both work and only one of you is doing all the housework. Now if you stay home that is another story.
Well, it depends on whether you both work or not, if you both do it then I would say YES, men are like that, they will do anything to get out of working around the house. Make the list but make sure it is reasonable, and give him the manly things to do, like mowing, blowing leaves, trash, things like that. Just make sure you understand he will try his best not to do his chores , my advice as a married woman is DONT GET MAD, don’t get mad if he doesn’t follow the list, don’t yell at him, you love him and he loves you but he is a guy, lol, try to use your womanly charms to get him to do it but never use blackmail or make him feel bad, it’s all good, it’s just housework, you know?, don’t take it too seriously. As far as the cooking goes, why don’t you make it a family event?, start small, invite family over for the weekend and ask him to help you with the salad or grilling, guys love to grill, there is something about it. So, start small, start slow, I discovered my hubby hates to cook bu
