I firmly believe that if something is done half-assed, it's still his "turn"! I LOVE the bonus math lesson. Oh, how my husband needs your class!

Z only puts them in the sink, even when the dishwasher is empty! I love- "household maintenance is diminished by approximately 20%..." It's a no win. You remind them and you're nagging. You don't remind them and it's, "I forgot. " If they didn't FORGET so often, we wouldn't have to remind so often. I wish I had someone to remind me of all the things I need to do. Why do I have to do my things and remind him to do his things? That being said, he has been picking up a lot more slack since I've been pregnant. All of a sudden, I just don't give a damn about the dirty dishes as much. It's a wonderful freedom that I hope sticks around. At least Tariq puts them IN the dishwasher.
