Does anyone else feel like their husband makes them nag? LOL. I know, that probably sounds weird... But, sometimes when I ask Adam to do stuff, he will put it off and put it off, even if I ask him again. Then, by the third time I have to "remind" him to get it done I feel like a TOTAL nag. Now, I don't think that he does it to me on purpose. I KNOW that he is totally forgetful and gets distracted WAY too easily (he is like a little boy in that way... lol) and that he really does intend to do it, but when I have to repeatedly remind him it makes me feel like SUCH a nag.

I am hoping that the whole thing will stop as he gets older. LOL. I have to remind myself sometimes that he really does try. He has gotten a lot better about it in the last year or so, which I think is a good sign. LOL. I think they ARE trainable! Haha. I just wonder why it takes so much longer to train a husband than it does to train a dog!:banghead :nutts :lol

Kind of like that 'never ending' Honey Do list??? Sure would be nice to have some of those done!!!

See my system usually works without nagging. I just start doing it, it drives him nuts so he takes over. :teehee No nagging and it gets done when I want it to get done and he's none the wiser.

YES!

yep! i feel like i have to ask him to do things 10 times and then he gets tired of me asking, but if he just did it in the first place....

Amen, usually works at my house too! :giggle

I refuse to nag. It just doesn't get done. Eventually he will ask about it and I simply tell him it's still waiting for him to take care of it. It usually gets done before this point though. I rarely break down and do something for him. I will in turn, conveniently forget he needs uniforms washed or dinner to be cooked. I have told him outright that I will not nag him and he is a grown man and shouldn't need a "mommy" to remind him of his chores. If he does his part, I'll do mine. We've managed just fine for 20 years this way.

Yea, I feel like that some days. I've found it's just easier to do it myself, rather than get mad because he doesn't do it when I ask or how I want it. :lol

Sometimes...Everyone feels this way. Then you hear that dreaded "Your not my mother" :fight LOL Then down the road he'll ask my opinion on something and I respond with "Go ask ya mama" :lmao

I've just come to the realization that he's not going to do it if I have to ask more than three times and I do it myself. The only thing I won't just do is taking out the garbage.

Well if he would do it the first time, I wouldn't have to nag, now would I?! :lmao

Either that or if I'm tired of asking, I'll do it and he feels guilty.

DB is the biggest procrastinator in the world (i.e. not sending an already bought birthday present for almost a month) but he knows it so he has actually ASKED me to nag him about certain stuff. Yeah, a little weird I know but he knows what he will & won't put off.

sometimes he makes me feel like i have to nag him esp about taking out the dog or cleaning up the kitchen kwim?

I guess if they ask for it, by all means, give it to them!

My DH likes to pull the "I don't know how to do this the right way" thing. But I learned to show him how, them leave him to it. In the past, he didn't have to do much when I stayed home all the time, but once I started working full-time we agreed to share 50/50 in the house work and kids. I try to hold him to it without nagging. My biggest thing with the nagging is I don't want to be like my mom. She is the queen of nagging and I cannot stand to be around her when she starts henpecking my stepdad. It's just awful to witness. I don't want to be her! Nor do I want to be his mommy.

I post sticky notes everywhere so he never hears me nag but it reminds him.

sometimes. dh is pretty good about getting stuff done around the house. when we both worked full-time we split the house-duties so he's used to it. i hate when men have an electra complex. i am not and refuse to act like his mother. luckily i usually don't have to ask him more than once for that kind of stuff. it's other things i end up nagging about like "have you asked so-n-so about such-n-such yet?" :rolleyes men

Oh yeah I hate that, and i'm not even married to mine yet lol.
But my favorite happened today..
Me " Hey sweetie can I ask you for a quick favor..."
Tim " Sure whats up"
Me " Do you think you could replace the light switches upstairs with the new ones I bought today..."
Waiting........A minute or 2 later
Tim " huh I wasn't listening to what you just said"

Lol men go figure.

Are we married to the same guy? LOL. I bought a present for my sister's birthday last year and packed it, addressed it, gave him cash for it, and it sat in the trunk for a MONTH. He thought about doing it every day on his way home, and a few weeks later when my sister told me she never got it, he even told me he sent it. Then, a few weeks after that when we were cleaning out the trunk, there it was! He swore to me that he remembered sending it. LMAO. I was like honey... THINKING about sending it is NOT REMEMBERING. Haha. So, poor girl got her present a freakin month late. Now, he has to bring me receipts for EVERYTHING he does so I can make sure it was done.

lol i feel the same way! my husband is totally forgetful, i have never met someone so forgetful! so i always end up asking if he has done something more than a few times. funny thing is he can never remember to say call someone, pick something up or somethin along those lines but ask him a phone number he saw last week and he can tell ya! me? i am just forgetful about everything lol

I have seriously thought of making a Honey Do Jar!!!!!
