Your husband's desires

[Jennifer]

Your husband’s desires for you may not be task oriented. Like I mentioned, guys are different. Just make sure you are obeying your own husband. 🙂

We are in a stage that my husbands common response to the day is “take it easy”. That’s harder to do than not! Or sometimes it is an easy way to laziness and guilt. If I have the kitchen clean and children are alive and basic needs are met he’s happy to help fold laundry! Or if I’ve done all the laundry and cooking is done and toys are picked up, he’s content to do the kitchen after dinner. I am truely BLESSED and certainly don’t see having 6 children in 7 years if he was any other way! But this will help to more specifically ask what is important to him right now and what would make his evenings better ? He works so hard he deserves to have a more relaxed homecoming.

It’s really hard to get responses from my husband. It can be like pulling teeth. Also, he says he wants breakfast before work but when I do that he looks like he is mad at me for waking him.

Vphager: What if you had breakfast prepared for him so he could have it when he was ready for it, without waking him up?

I can’t open assignment #4. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

i asked my husband this the other day, his response was clean clothes, hot food, clean house, we have littles so toys out is one thing but large mess in another. I know he enjoys breakfast but it has to be consistent not hit and miss so I need to get better at that especially because there are days if I don’t send lunch he doens’t get a chance to eat or it is later than normal so that would help hold him til supper if he can’t get lunch on certain days or it is later.

Jennifer yeah that could work. It’s hard to feed a non morning person. Instead of an elaborate breakfast I could definitely make an easy breakfast he could eat going out the door.

When my husband and I were first married. I would make him breakfast but he soon found that he preferred something quick and easy that he could eat in the office at work so now I pack his breakfast in with his lunch to take to work.

I had a hard time getting my husband to give me specific answers…seems like he didn’t want to feel like he was telling me what to do. So I listed various things I do that I feel he finds important and he agreed with my list: laundry and dishes caught up, pantry stocked, a plan for dinner and hot breakfasts available (he prefers having pre-prepared freezer burritos or sausage balls that he can microwave and eat on the road).
