k this will be short...

i'm going to argue this one point, simply because of the mess and smell

In this case, the long-term priority of your husband helping you more, is probably more important than the short term one
yes long term it is more important, on the other hand dealing with D2 before she took off her diaper herself and spread it around the house what the more urgent issue at that moment... \:\)

The important thing at that time, was not "he's not allowed to take a nap". The important thing is that you needed help, RIGHT THEN.
So, you might have focused on the "get up and help me now", rather than the nap/no nap issue.
this is very helpful... thank you!

By getting him to fully agree to what chores he will do from now on.
i have attempted this before. The problem i have is his excuses for everything (which i'm not taking anymore)... i guess if he doesn't want to help, then he just suffers the consequences. i'll make a list of everything this weekend and make him sit with me and divide it up. If he agrees to it, i'll nag him or whatever else will make him actually do it.

Thank you!! have a nice night! \:\) ann
