My job is more stressful than your's.
I'm just
not very good at domestic stuff.
Your standards
are too high.
I never learned how to do this
chore.
Have you heard one or more of the above
excuses in the past month? Are you sick of your husband's
avoidance tactics regarding housework and parenting? If you
answered yes to either of these questions, you need this
book. The Lazy Husband is a hands-on guide to
understanding and changing men's attitudes towards domestic
work and childcare. Dr. Joshua Coleman, author and clinical
psychologist, understands that a happy marriage is a
balanced marriage. And now, in his refreshingly honest and
straightforward style, Coleman reveals exactly how women can
motivate their husbands to become better partners and better
fathers.
By outlining and defining the various types
of lazy husbands, Dr. Joshua Coleman teaches women how to
understand where their husbands are coming from and enact
change. Some Lazy Husband types include:
* The
Boy-Husband: This husband wants to be taken care of, and
pretends to be incompetent around the house.
* The
Perfectionist Husband: This husband wants the house and the
kids to look perfect, but doesn't want to do the work
himself.
*The Angry Husband: This husband keeps his wife
at bay with his irritability, anger, or intimidation.
From here, Coleman develops type-specific plans for
change. By following these proactive plans, you too can
achieve a happy, well-balanced marriage. Just remember, you
can do less by getting your husband to do more.
