Women:How many of you struggle to get your husband, son, or boyfriend to remember to take the garbage out?

Question

MEN, I find it personally annoying that I always have to remind my beloved husband to take out the darn garbage. In fact, at one point I just did it myself all the time. I also stopped reminding my husband, so that I would not appear as a nag (I know guys hate that), but still it's like an evil spell. I notice my husband waits until he is told to do it or until he notices that he cannot put any more garbage into the garbage bin. :) Any suggestions FELLAS?

Answer 1

If he takes it out when it is full, and he can't put in anymore, what's the problem?

Answer 2

Why is it our responsibility?  You can do it and you would use less energy taking out trash then constantly hounding us.

Try this:  Draw up responsibilities of who does what.  ALWAYS do another chore in exchange for him always taking out trash.  Otherwise, marriage is equal-opportunity and you prove you can do it just as well.  We husbands hate to be sexist!

Yep, here is my suggestion.

Get used to it.
