I just happened to be at my local library and I stumbled across this book, "The Lazy Husband, how to get your husband to do more parenting and housework." It had some really great insight, and so much truth too. Anyway, one tip was learn how to negotiate in his terms. Example; My husband loves to go to movies. So something I could say to him is..."If you could take the trash out each week, I might have more energy to go see that movie with you, when you like." Girl, you've got to go check this book out, I can't do it justice.

Let min know you don't want to be his sugar mama anymore, and it's time for him to step up to the plate and start putting some cash into the household.

Tell him to shape up or kick him out!!! In this day and age a man is hardly a necessity, and a woman's time and energy is a privilege!!

Quit. I don't mean your relationship, I mean quit the housework, laundry, cooking, paying bills, etc. When he gets hungry, his clothes are dirty, the house is a mess and the electricity is off, let him do the work. My mom did that with my dad, and he got the message.

Give him a choice, either he starts contributing or else he has to go. And no excuses allowed.

married or not I would lay down the law..... tell him to get up off the couch and go find work.....if you are paying for him to have fun in any way shape or form, stop it !! loose the cable tv, sell his car, do not buy his smokes or drinks.... etc....... give him an allowance like you would a child.... and stick to it !!!!! wake him, and shake him........ God bless
