New thread, new phase?

Basically is there a way of presenting house chores in an exciting way?! :-)

Food and Beer! (or wine if in the evening)

I would just say lets get together this weekend and knock out some of these chores. Tell him you will provide the food and drinks, but you need his help. Guys want to be needed not nagged and whatever you do , if he does help out, don't tell him how to do it just what to do.....lol. I would present it something like this when you are there..."if you clean up this I will take care of that, etc" I would even start it out with being a separate ends of the house or one inside and the other outside so he doesn't think you are using it as an excuse to get together. If he says something about just paying someone to do it, just say you can't afford it and besides it might be fun or something like that.

Just some thoughts, the jist is to "act as if". Be confident in you approach and your tone (better done in a phone conversation so he can hear your upbeat tone)....assume he is going to say yes.
