... to ask if there was small things you could change about your DH/DP

[Blueskywhy]

This is not meant to be super serious. I've been reading/trying this tiny habits book/approach. I find it helpful, and was thinking about changes that my DH could make.

The changes I'd make:

• Ensure empty pockets before putting on the washing machine
• Lock the door when you go out of the house
• Don't use the shared laptop when searching/buying stuff online, we can all see it!

[BasedInDublin]

Check if the dishwasher is clean before putting stuff in :)

Get rid of the motorbike. It's dangerous and you don't need it.

[FirstIn50s]

Small things to change? It's not that small, average maybe, but adding another two inches would be interesting

[Thehogfatherstolemycurry]

Noisy eating, stop bloody slurping!

[PlateSpinnerJuggler]

Hang the bath mat after showering - you're always the second of us in the morning - so why do I always hang it?!?!?
Put loo seat down....

But I'm sure if he were asked this question in reverse they'd be a million things he could list for me 🤣

[PlateSpinnerJuggler]

@FirstIn50s 🤣🤣🤣

[MarmaladeToastAndAMarmaladeCat]

I’d like it if before he asks me where something is about 55,000 times a day he actually looks for it for longer than a millisecond and might actually find it himself.

• Don't make a pot of tea when you only drink a cup
  
  
• When it's your turn to WFH our home office space, please stay there. It's why we made that nice space.
  
  Tell your DM again that our bedroom is totally off limits when she house sits the dogs. I know* it was her that emptied the bin, and put the stuff from the locker back into a drawer

[Echobelly]

Be able to see objects that are a few inches away from where he left them, in clear view

[Boredwaiting]

No more snoring

[Undersnatch]

I’d like him to enjoy eating out, cooking, be a bit more of a foodie.

I'll start off by saying my husband is brilliant at DYI, he can fix/build anything. Cars, electric, plumbing, you name it. I can't even imagine how much money he has saved us over the years. BUT, he can't 'just' fix something, he has to re-engineer the bloody thing to his exacting standards. He fixes things to death. Everything becomes a project with this man.

[elp30]

To finish what he starts in the garden.

To just try to pronounce words in my first language. I'm not asking for him to be fluent and read Cervantes, I want him to pronounce jalapeño and pollo correctly. After 28 years, it's not much to ask.

[coronafiona]

Eat silently. Be less selfish. The end

[deadflowers]

Stop trying to make TTC fun. it's a science project, we need to do the right thing, at the right time and finish in the right place. I know you're intentions are good, but I'm feeling under pressure :(

[Undersnatch]

Aw, deadflowers, not judging but that sounds sad for you. Hope the pressure eases soon

[PermanentTemporary]

Not a thing yet, we've only been together 8 months!

I used to wish with a passion that my husband would learn how to pronounce espresso.

[spinningspaniels]

Learn to load the effing dishwasher.

How can a man who runs a successful business just not grasp that water needs to be able to get around what you put in there

[Physio32]

I love the man dearly but

• Throw out the tear off bit from the cat food sachet when you throw the packet out. He will clear out the previous dish just fine. I leave the tear off bits and they are always gone within a few hours. Why can't he do it at the same time?
• Stop picking dry skin off his feet. I kmow its a stress habit and why he is doing it at the moment but it still drives me nuts.

[OliveHenry]

I'd like him to eat onions.

[DefinitelyOdd]

To unball his socks when he puts them in the laundry basket.
To empty the fridge before putting new stuff in it!
And finally.....To not fiddle with my car radio settings when he drives it! Change the station if you want to but don't muck about with the bass/treble things!

[Zealois]

Not ask me things that I'm no more likely to know them him. "How do you make..." "How much should I use..'' etc. I don't know, look it up! That's all I'd be doing.

[Adrenalina]

@OliveHenry

I'd like him to eat onions.

That really made me laugh. I don't know why.

I'd like DP to be able to do DIY and to drive. I can't do either of these things either so I can't wish too hard.

I'd like DP to stop describing it as 'cold' anytime the weather isn't blazing sunshine and 30C heat. Like, a cloudy 21C day isn't 'cold'. Irritating beyond belief.

[DramaAlpaca]

Just be a little bit tidier. That's all.

[Bargebill19]

If you use something, look at where you are taking it from, look at how things are in that cupboard/drawer and put the item(S) back where and how you originally found them.
Otherwise bin bag gate will happen again.

[StrictlyAFemaleFemale]

Wipe down surfaces.
When empying the dishwasher and putting away shopping I would like EVERYTHING put away, not left on the kitchen side because it goes in a different room.
Check the food in the fridge occasionally and throw stuff out.
Put the cans for recycling in the fucking recycling box.
