Yes, why is that these things come naturally to women and yet we have to "educate" the men in our lives to hang the towels up, change a toilet roll. Surely this was drummed into them by their own Mums.
I am in favour of natural consequences. If their actions don't effect me then I just let those wet towels etc. sit there until they go to use it and find they can't. One example is my husbands washing. Ok, I wash and hang it, but I will NOT check his pockets for him, so if he looses a piece of paper, runs out of hankies coz they are all in balls in his pockets etc then it is not my problem but it is his! Goodluck training your man.

RE: Husband smacking - should it be encouraged? Any training ideas?
Natural consequences is a good plan I guess.... My cousin used to put the wet towels on his pillow every time so that by the time he went to bed he had a wet pillow. Worked for him but then he is very trainable. I have a "bloke basket" that I fill with any towels, clothes, sunglasses, paperwork etc that the bloke has left lying around. It's up to him to find his wet/smelly/belongings and I would rather chuck things in the basket rather than nag him. I get sick of saying the same things and I am sure he is sick of hearing them!!
Yea basket full of blokee things sounds good, but some of the underwear, deserve to be torched..any mistakes results in a no drinking ban..very unhappy looks from that... and sent down the road to smoke cigarettes very very unhappy puppy looks.. Altho living apart because of renting issues, i still have to hassle the wardrobe department.... Presentable in town amongst apps i have while he lives out in the country, not the hill billy look, with holes inclusive! And subway being his fav, none of that at the moment untill i can sit inside his own vehicle respectible, not amongst a junk yard... Surely some men would consider a vehicle being clean and respectible, not like the rubbish tip *lol* And B * O * reminding them about smells!, but do they ever listen? Tooth paste in the wrong place, handing u their used wet towel to use to save on the washing up!.... Not sitting at the dining table, and would prefer to eat while smoking....and not using a plate while eating grrrr......save on dishes "He retorts"...Squashed cans by the fire place..because he cant be bothered going out to the recycling bin oo the list goes on!
The bloody empty milk carton in the frig again. I think smacking is not enough. I say lock the beer frig. Gettem where it reelly hurts. hehehe
