My DH worked super hard over the past few years, and we've been lucky enough to be able to buy a house almost solely thanks to him. It's been his dream to own a house like this for a number of years, and he made it happen completely off his own back. I'm really appreciative of this and how hard he works for our little family.
When we moved in, I thought he would suddenly become super interested in actually keeping it nice, but no such luck. He has no interest in anything beyond occasional tidying and would rather either leave it or if it really annoys me, he'll pay someone to fix it.
I really wish he would put some effort into maintaining the house, but he comes home from work every day, cooks dinner (or chucks something in the oven), we put our DS to bed, and then he watches TV, catches up from work emails or surfs the Internet. On the weekends, other than family time, he would happily sit at home and do bugger all maybe cook a big meal (he loves food and cooking).
Now I know I could do some myself, but I'm not good at that sort of thing, and I know he is when he puts his mind to it. Plus I think he's really enjoy it once he started.
So AIBU to want to try to get him to like DIY? What do you like about it? And what would encourage you to like it?
