If I need him to do something extra, I just suggest it verbally. Handyman tasks are my domain. If I don't get around to it, he will try to do it; then we will laugh and I will fix it. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943874 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:27:09 +0000 mrswin 1943874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a running list on my phone that both of us have access too, we both WOH and are pretty busy so it helps us to make sure that stuff gets done. I wouldn't call it a honey do list, just a get s**t done list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943872 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:25:31 +0000 Ra 1943872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both use One Note to keep a general to do/to buy list. We keep one master list between us and then we both tackle projects whenever we have extra time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943864 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:20:19 +0000 PawPrints 1943864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make let's-do lists all the time for both of us. Like when we spend a weekend plowing into the chores and getting the house clean, taking care of errands, etc. DH really likes crossing things off of lists. Plus if I didn't write it down, I'd forget something and then remember mid-week (e.g. oh crap we never got the dogs' nails trimmed). We split stuff pretty evenly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943792 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:31:07 +0000 NurseDMB 1943792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My DH is more of a clean freak than me, so it would be pretty funny if I left him a to do list. He does enough around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943648 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:24:05 +0000 JerricaBenton 1943648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. He's busy with work and works at home so sometimes he forgets stuff like 'we're having guests next weekend so that task has to be done by then' etc. If I make a list, he can do stuff at his leisure and make a plan so I DON'T have to 'nag' him. I hate that word btw, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943500 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:07:34 +0000 Caly 1943500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a physical list but when something needs to be done, I ask him. He does the same with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943428 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:40:42 +0000 Smurfette 1943428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask/tell him what I need done but I don't write it done. Understanding of some things he does and some I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943425 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:40:21 +0000 IRunForFun 1943425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! My DH already does way more chores than I do, if I were ever to make a list it would not go over well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943377 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:23:03 +0000 lawbee11 1943377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask him to do things but there is no physical list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943372 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:21:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1943372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I ask him to do one thing at a time and it's usually just one thing every 3-4 days. He doesn't do much around the house. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943350 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:17:35 +0000 Andrea 1943350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DH likes to cross things off lists! There are just some things that I need his help with (handyman type stuff) and he's rarely home so a list works the best for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943326 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:09:41 +0000 lovehoneybee 1943326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't make a physical list, but yeah, most evenings or on the weekends I'll ask him to do x,y and z. I don't like having to ask him to do chores (even normal stuff like please take out the trash, not necessarily "projects" around the house), but if I don't he just won't think to do them on his own and then I do them and get irritated and resentful that I'm doing everything. </p> <p>I sort of feel like his mother sometimes ("you're an adult, please put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket, not piled on your side of the bed") but I'd rather do that then be resentful of him for not just doing it. And he's also very willing to do whatever I ask, but I have to ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943239 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:30:00 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1943239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I made a list of things to clean (it was for me to be organized to try to clean one room a day instead of a big whole house clean on Saturday.) DH got all upset that I made a "chore chart". </p> <p>He is awesome at doing things around the house though. He just didn't like the list aspect of the list...weird, since I adore them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943237 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:29:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1943237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943225 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:20:52 +0000 autumnlove 1943225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Ya, mine isn't a real list...in my head and sometimes in my notes app! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943222 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:19:58 +0000 Cole 1943222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a running one in my brain and if I know we will have free time over the weekend I usually pick whatever is at the top and start asking him early in the week if we can tackle it over the weekend. I think if I had an actual paper list that I gave him he would never do any of it since it would be way too overwhelming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943213 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 14:11:59 +0000 coopsmama 1943213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. He does enough for me already. I don't want to be a nag! He doesn't bother me with things either :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943123 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:33:10 +0000 Ajsmommy 1943123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure do but they never get done! DH was off Tuesday and he had a few minor things to do (would have taken approx. one hour) but when I came home guess how much was done? ZIPPY (insert fight) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943079 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:17:19 +0000 snowjewelz 1943079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a list and I like to remind him every other day about it lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-honey-do-lists#post-1943077 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:16:21 +0000 Bubbles 1943077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I see!
