How do you get the message across??

[squidipa]

when u have had enough of repeat your self to ppl in your house hold how do u get your message across? how do u cope?

i tend to have enough and write notes
examples of my notes:

Please use eyes and use bath mat not MYN or childrens towels as bath mats

this is not a empty baby food jar and bib stock pile station!

if you take it out of house bring it back

wipe feet

Put smelly socks in wash

turn tap to right then back to left not round and round

Put shoes away

is the pram put away?

Please check all sterilized baby things are put away at night and all bottles are put together with right parts

please do not serve meat items for kids lunches unless they are eating them now this includes blah blah blah

Please put Blue large bowl in blue colander and BOTH green smaller bowls inside blue large bowl or if blue large bowl is not there in blue colander. (This is because otherwise they fall on me as there up high)

I have pretty much given up and just do everything myself.

Hmm interesting idea.... I wonder if this will work with the older kids? TBH Dh is pretty good but the kids OMG how many times can you repeat the same thing....

I'm pretty much the same as Marlene and have given up and do everything myself. Every now and then I get a fresh breath and try again but always give up before I get anywhere.
Any tips anyone??

My parents used to put stuff in our beds if we didn't put it away. Or if DH annoys me enough, I put stuff in front of his beer fridge till he gets the hint.

haha with the ex i used to take pictures of his crap and display them when visitors came round lol

i think it does work displaying messages for men its great at least they know if they are getting somewhere when u take the message down.

I just at times feel so respected and un valued does this make sence is anyone else feel like this?
