If he chooses to "help out" with the daily chores (things that HAVE to be done each and every day, and he knows it!), he does some of it and then makes sure I realize he did it. If he chooses to do his own thing (which can range from tinkering in the barn on unfinished projects, or cleaning said barn, or reading his latest copy of Woodworker magazine, or chatting with the neighbors and drinking some beers...or whatever) and happens to come in the house and find me in a frenzy...he'll tell me he's "right in the middle of something" and he'll BRB to lend a hand...and out he goes again...not to be seen again till I go to find him. I shrug and think, "he's getting out of Dodge!".

I swear Lixy, I started reading this and did a double take to make sure my wife hadn't joined the site! That sounds so much like her... and I have to admit that's pretty much how it goes. I just don't think about all these things that need to get done. I do take the wife's directive though when she asks for help.
In my defense I will say that I rarely get time alone at home. The child is there or the wife... I am rarely home alone to bang around and do my own thing without questions or interruptions...

Anyway... (((Lixy))) My wife feels your pain. How about some  to make it all better?
