Kim ~ Somehow I lucked out and married a man whose mother raised him to do his own chores. (I say a prayer for her every day).

There was an article in the newspaper the other day about this subject. The wife was spending the whole weekend (she worked outside the home) scrubbing and cleaning while her husband sat on the couch watching TV. When she complained, he replied "Don't do so much. Just do the important stuff." So, she decided his laundry was not important. Took a while, but he started doing his own laundry. Don't deprive him of a chance to grow! It will hard not to b*tch about it, but that never does any good.

BTW, how is his back? I hope he's not in pain.
