    AWESOME!!!  Who would have guessed? He takes pride in showing me what he's done. And I wrote some things for me to remember to do...and he did those too...above and beyond!  He says it's nice to know what to do to make me happy.  Never thought I was unclear about what I wanted before...but hey...if a white board was all he needed, simple enough!  This has been the easiest week yet since having the baby...for both of us!  Yahooo!

    I have a friend who is a marriage counselor and she said the biggest problem is woman can say things to their husbands till they are blue in the face. Men like things written down and need direction. When we talk we elaborate and then men tune out. So glad that the white board is working, has to make coming home relaxing :)

    Yay!  It's amazing how one thing, when it's right, can make life so much easier!  It's good to hear you are both happier with how things are going.

    Hmmm... I wonder if I need to write down a white board something I need MH to do in the next 5 minutes? I always ask him to do something while I'm doing something else so that we can have things done by the time we need to leave or move on to the next task... and he almost never does it until after I've finished my task and have asked him if he's finished...

    That's awesome Jackie! I'm so glad it's working. I know you had been talking for a while about having issues with him and chores.

    Now, if only I could find something for my husband. I've tried the whiteboard and writing things down on paper and nothing seems to work. *sigh*
