is really not going well. I think it will only work if we both give it our all and don't slack off or take advantage. Yesterday, D took out the trash. I asked him to take out the recycling too, since it's collected on Tuesday. He forgot and left for work, so I took it out.
When I was cleaning up I also noticed he didn't put trash bags back in the cans. OK, I did that too. Then I noticed he also didn't empty the dishwasher, which HE maintains is his chore. SO I also did that. Then I refilled it and did all my usual chores.
When I mentioned this stuff to him (very nicely!), he said he forgot or was too busy. So, to me, it seems like what's going to happen is he is going to keep forgetting and I'm going to keep picking up the slack. That would be fine if it worked both ways, but it doesn't seem to.
We're going to have to figure out something else.

ooohhh, the trash bag thing FLOORS me!
Congrats on breaking ground! We built a house last year (moved in just this last April) and we are actually still finishing it. That is what we get for not hiring a contractor and being all crazy DIY people. Oh well. Can't wait to see photos!
LOVE the new photo! Beautiful!
UG!
I LOVE the new photo, by the way!
First, I love the new picture. So cute of you and both boys.
Second, grr to D for not pulling his weight. Maybe you should leave little notes around reminding him of things. For example, a note on the trash can: "Please put a new bag in me when you dump my trash". I don't know, just an idea. I had a friend who got her husband to start putting the toilet lid down by doing this. Might be worth a try. ;)
Yeah! Your house is started! That's awesome! I'm so excited for you.
Loving the new photo!
