All lockdown I have been the one the share out there chores and keep some kind of rhythm to our days.DH works until 3 I normally get in 10/1030.
I have said he can decided what we do but he never knows even when he wakes up.He is 60.!! So day by day I've persuaded him to help with painting the house,at first he resisted then got stuck in and felt a sense of achievement.
The same with the garden and so on.I've tried to use previous time to get jobs done.
I never went in the garage as I knew there was a mess in there.After many rows he said he had done it.It was a shock when I couldn't get in the door so I had to spend most of the day with his shouting at me sorting it out.Dump sell etc.Now he is happy.He made some money.
I find this quite draining as I shouldn't have to motivate him.I am quite a driven person and know that things have to be done.
The next thing will be when furlough ends of he does not have a job.I suggested he looks now as he was out of work last year.
Am I a control freak or just self motivated
