Mini Vent... Any1 elses DH a "Halfway Harry"?

Examples of a "Halfway Harry"...

Puts out the garbage..but doesnt put in new garbage bag..

Brings up the laundry but leaves it in the kitchen....or takes the laundry to be bought to laundry room and leaves it in the kitchen...

loads dishwasher but doesnt think to run it...

rakes leaves in front yard into nice big pile which is then left for children and the wind to throw around yard again...

buys big piles of dirt to fill in landscaping and then leaves piles of dirt all over yard so now I have dirt piles as well as holes..

Oh and this is the best part..he tells me to write him a list of such things...and then he crosses them off the list!!!! I try telling him that you cant cross them off the list until they are done and he says he likes to cross them off his list as he gets to them!!!

Occasionallly, but he does get around to it.

I never understand why he doesn't just finish then and there, but at least he does at some point.

Time to start putting two items on the list

1) Start requested task
2) Complete requested task

Re: Mini Vent... Any1 elses DH a "Halfway Harry"?

I can totally relate....especially w/ the garbage bag & laundry, although most of the time he's pretty good.

It gets like this though at times

Re: Mini Vent... Any1 elses DH a "Halfway Harry"?

I can completely relate!!!!

DH tells me "I dusted the bedroom today" and I happen to go in there later and it's completely dusty. So I ask him "what exactly did you dust?" and he says "your dresser." Ok, that's great - but there is also an armoire, 2 nightstands, a floor and a big leather chair that could have been wiped down too - but thanks for wiping down the top of one dresser.

I know I am not PG but I browse this board and saw this topic...this is so funny because just yesterday my DH went out and raked the leaves in the yard but did not pick them up. He went out this morning and did some electrical work at someone's house, and when he came home, he asked me if I picked up the piles in the yard NO. I was busy doing my OWN stuff...not that I am not willing to help but talk about a half-a$$ed job! Does this all the time. He is out there now picking them up
