Here are some tips for dealing with a lazy husband: - Reason it out with him. Have a one-to-one rational conversation with each other. Voicing your frustrations can be helpful, - Make your husband your hero letting him know how good it will feel like if he helps a little, - Lower your standards and expectations. It can take time, but your husband will do the job to help you, - Appreciate always. Appreciation can make great results, - Avoid threatening. Give him ample chances and time to do the job his way. As soon as your husband sees that no matter how long it takes you are ready to wait for it to be done, he will do it, - Be feisty and firm. Be firm and let him know that there is no way out of the task assigned, - Work on bonding. Try doing things together, - Be flexible and open to new ways. Be open and accept his way of doing things, - Avoid redoing anything that he has done. He may stop doing that thing in the future, - Be considerate. Just because you have the habit of immediately washing the teacup after you finish does not mean your husband has to do the same.
