How to Deal with Lazy Husbands
by Simmy Mishra - September 21, 2011
Every man inherits from his mother the way other women should be treated. If your husband is non-cooperative and prefers to sit through your endless chores, probably it’s because he was made to believe that it was a woman’s duty to do the household work .
Lazy husbands are not easy to deal with. A wife must know that bringing about a change in practice may be a hard nut to crack.
Things To Remember
• Finding mistakes in what they did to help you may ruin their confidence. Don’t expect an eager husband if you can’t appreciate.
• Get added domestic help if handling his mood gets tricky, always ending up in a heated argument.
• Never despise your husband in public for not being helpful enough. Instead, appreciate him for all the little things; he will sure try to do better to please you.
• Cut down on the perfection index of your home, simplify the meals, and ignore the mess a little.
• Don’t put up with any kind of abuse. If things get out of hand, consult a marriage counselor.
1. Offering them the red carpet during the incubation period of your marriage creates a false impression of the wife being totally capable of doing the everyday chores.
Make yourself look helpless and needy. Your husbands will probably stop excusing themselves.
2. Men need appreciation. Not that women don’t, but men can do wonders with words of praise and a humble applause. Always make your thankfulness known to them; they will try their best to keep up that good image.
3. If your husband offers you help, gladly accept it. An offer turned down once, may never come back. You need to be tactful with them and not disciplining.
4. Men are highly dependent on verbal communication. So don’t wait for them to read your minds. Communicate and tell them if their involvement is a dire necessity.
5. Be persistent. If you assign a job to your husband, make sure only he gets to do it. If he finds an alternative that may even be you at times, he will find his secure spot.
6. Household chores will always be unappealing to men. Don’t force it down their throat. Involve them in exactly the same way you’d get your kid to get that bread and eggs from the bakery.
Don’t let your husband’s laziness become an abscess in your relationship. Be very polite and diplomatic when handling his laziness and getting his butt to work. Take it slow, don’t rush.
And yes, for all you newly-weds, nip it in the bud if you want some organization at home.
