Is it really acceptable to think that you have to "train" your man to do things?

We teach people everyday on what we feel is acceptable by our responses to their actions. All that said, nagging is not a very effective way to 'train' your man because it puts a strain on the relationship. Here is one way to do it. If the poopy diaper is left around by him, LEAVE it there. Tell him calmly that while you don't mind doing some of the cleaning, he is expected to do the basics, because you are not his momma. Then you simply bite your tongue and follow through, as hard as it may be. For example.....my husband used to leave his dirty nasty socks all over the place, not in the laundry. So I finally told him, if your clothes don't make it into the laundry basket, I'm not cleaning them. You'd be amazed...but it works. If he leaves them around, I refuse to pick them up and eventually he puts them in the basket. It also works with the emptying of his pockets. I kept forgetting and washing all sorts of odds and ends, and he finally got fed up enough and now he empties his own pockets, otherwise what's in them gets washed.
