My husband and I best of friends but!!
My husband (29)(well ok boyfriend) and I (27) 10 years and 2 kids. Are the best of friends, I think thats why this is hard. He works hard for our family 40 hours a week(drywall), but when it comes to things around the house he just gets real lazy in my eyes. Im a stay at home mom he comes home to a clean house food on the table, but when he does not do it I tend to get mad and dont want to hurt his feelings! So i guess my guestion is how to tell him to do it without all the badness behind it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I'm sure he's just exhausted from working so much. Next time you ask him to help you with something, instead of saying, "I need you to go take out the trash," say "Honey, when you are finished resting for a bit, would you mind taking the trash out for me?"
That way, he won't feel pressured to get everything done right that minute and hopefully he'll get around to it later. If he forgets about it or completely ignores you, pull him aside one night and calmly explain how you've been feeling. Let him know you appreciate that he is working so hard to pay the bills, but you would really appreciate it if he helped around the house a little bit more.
Communication is always key. Remember to give him a few compliments along with the criticism. I'm sure he loves you enough to listen to your feelings and try to help you out more.

Oh this one is easy for me. Hope it
works the same for you! Easiest way
I have found is to start doing it
yourself. He will have to ask what
it is you think you're doing & then
he will probably just take over. I
mean you know they can do it better
than we can! :)
