where's the problem? sounds more like an opportunity to me.
if you show him - without foolishly making him feel like a useless idiot - he'll be able and willing to do that chore more often.

and print this off and leave it laying around the house - unless he has already read it, and was hoping to get lucky!
Yep, I'm with you Patrice - teach a man to fish, don't ever just buy him the fish! :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:

When my DH comes home after being away on a job, he takes over & does the chores that he knows I do not enjoy doing. Anything I ask of him, he will do. He is a great help in the kitchen and can actually run the house as well as I can. It is a good thing because this way he knows how to keep the RV clean & orderly while he is away working. We also work well together on chores or projects. After 32 years, he will go ahead and be kept around for a long while.

My husband and I have always shared the household chores and both worked outside the home. I am now almost disabled and he really helps a lot. He can clean, do laundry and can cook. He even makes biscuits from scratch.

I know that I am very fortunate for having the husband that I have. When I worked fulltime, I did most of the housework, including raising our daughter. Now that we are retired, though, my husband has become the great "housekeeper". He is the neatnick and I have a tendency to be somewhat of a slob, leaving things right where I set them down. Hubby does his own laundry, the grocery shopping, most of cleaning the kitchen including running the dishwasher (loading and reloading), cooking, and cleaning in general.
When I leave the house to go shopping or anywhere, his comment to me is: "See you at dinner time." Never complains where I go; only complains that I spend too much money on fabric and never seem to get it all sewn up. I really have to agree with him on this.
What would I do without him? I really don't know!!!

Mine's improved with age (and training). He's pretty good actually and thinks he does half the household jobs, but it's prob about a third. But if I ask him to do something, he does it and is always cheery and a sweetie.
