Nagging

I came across an article on the subject of nagging. However, upon reading it, I felt unhappy with the article. Mostly it said how nagging can kill a marriage and women should just stop doing it and find other ways to get the men to do stuff that the men are already supposed to be doing. Like women don't have enough to worry about and do around the house that we also have to be sensitive to how we ask the men to do their share of the work? Ridiculous! The way I see it, I'll ask nicely once, I'll ask again with an undertone of annoyance and if you still don't get it done, then I have a right to be pissed. Why should I have to be the one to change when the guy isn't doing his sh*t?

In my personal case, my hubby isn't so bad. He will actually automatically do things like take out the garbage and clear the dinner table without my having to ask. So in the end, I have no need to nag. I do have one thing I told myself to nag him about, but I keep forgetting to. Maybe because I'm so unpracticed at nagging, I just suck at it?

In any case, I try to make it a point not to nag. Instead, I'll say it once or twice and then get seriously irritated. When I ask my husband to do stuff, 99 percent of the time, he doesn't do it right away, which annoys me. However, I've learned to be patient. I've also learned that when he's distracted when I ask him to do something and he says he'll do it later, he'll often forget, which will then seriously irritate me... a lot. Most of the time though, I don't nag because there is no need to. My hubby is a pretty good hubby in that sense.

Anyways, here's Jezebel's take on the article, which includes a link to the original article:
