I know how she feels
its makes a women very misrable if the house is a mess, yet...there is no point doing it, if you dont feel happy with certain things...I was like that when I first moved into this house...I hated it..and never wanted to bother with it....but now that I have decorated it, my way....I feel tons better...and the house is spotless

KooKa It is a strange phenomenon...I remember one time
my land ogre raised my rent like 25% over night. For some strange reason, I liked my apartment better after that... Something to do with the effort it takes to make the money made me open my eyes up to the nice-it-ties that were everywhere...It boils down to contribution..L

Kooka - I think that your reasoning is on the right track. It is hard to take pride in keeping up something that down deep you feel belongs to someone else. Similar situation in our family. My son and his wife took over the old family home he grew up in along with most of the furnishings and for the longest time it was like they were afraid to change anything. It almost seemed to them that they were keeping house for someone else.

Kooka, that worked wonders for me. He let me talk, lol
He didn't encourage me to, now he does and it is great. I don't feel stupid no matter what I say.

Kooka
You have a way with words. I am sure it is easy for you to talk to her. Does she have the opportunity to just talk, even randomly to you knowing you will not condemn her for what she says? Women need to talk, they do not need you to fix the problem they are talking about, just hear it. I am glad she is doing better.

Excellent, Kooka.
Glad to hear that. Besides, it goes more quickly when two people tackle all the tasks together.

I do a lot of the house work and try to get my wife to help me with it.

and so by way of motivating her, do you
nag her to do the housework or do you pitch in and help? The latter, I would hope.
Redecorating is always an upper. Enjoy!
