how do you train a husband to help around the house i work 44hrs a wk...help?

Answer 1

Whatever doesn't get done, don't you do it. Let it go for a week.

Then tell him you don't want to argue about getting help around the house and you want to hire a cleaning lady to come in once a week and you are sure that he won't mind paying for it.

Watch how fast he comes to the rescue.

Answer 2

You shouldn't have to. If he's not helping out that shows disrespect for you, and the home. His place was probably a wreck when you met him wasn't it? You knew what you could expect when the honeymoon was over. There are probably other disrespect issues going on with him as well. Over time you'll see what I mean. I ended up divorcing my husband after 7 years of the same thing disrespect.

Answer 3

The best way to train a guy is like the same way you would train a dog..

Seriously, that is what you have to realize.

First, you give him a simple task to complete. If he finishes it, give him a reward.

Eventually, build up his tasks reportoire and have him on a schedule. Remember to always give him a treat or something that he likes too.

Then , when you have him fully trained, drop the rewards and he won't realize that he has just been outsmarted by the world's most intelligent woman with the biggest heart.

Answer 4

First off you don't train your husband. He's not a dog, secondly ask him to help.. tell him that (i am assuming you both work) you both work and you would like to have him share the household duties with you. If that doesn't work, then you have 3 options.... 1. continue to do it yourself, 2. let it pile up, or 3. Hire someone to help you. GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

The same way you train a puppy!!! HAHA No really sit down and work out a chore list and if his stuff isn't done then it doesn't get done untill he does it. My hubby work very hard at his part when I offer some kind of reward like back rubs his choice of sexual positions. But what ever works best 4 your hubby.

Answer 6

I don't mind doing the cleaning and laundry. My husband works hard and he pays the bills - I feel it's the least I can do. I also work outside the home. I look at it like this: if you lived alone, you'd have to do it anyway so just do it! I love seeing clean clothes and dishes put away. It makes me feel good, like I am taking care of something.

Answer 7

Sorry guys I have to help da lady out. Well to make him help you give him a reward for helping you. Tell him you will give him some thing special. Weather it would be sex hand job or what ever as long as he will like it he will help. Dont give him like a dollor or he will never belive you again and there for will never help you around the house at all

Answer 8

Sex for labor...talk about resentment (for both of you)!

Pressure & nagging are negative forces, and he will resist. Even if he does help more, he will resent it.

I would suggest a discussion about the various jobs required around the house. Tell him how much it would mean to you if he helped. Tell him that it would be a sign of love to you.

Ask him what you can do for him to show your love for him.

Note: Sex is that happy thing you both do when you are in love.

Answer 9

Use the point system you see on Yahoo answers. For everything he help out with, he gets 2 points. On the other hand, a intercoarse will cost him 5 points. This works.

Answer 10

Why not ask him for help.Tell him how tired you are from working and ask him to help out.Give him the chance to do what you want before you start "training" him.His reward should be seeing you happy.and an occasional sexual favor to keep things fresh between you and him.Just don't get too focused on work and housework to let your relationship go stale.
