![]() Remember, however, that to start with, it is sufficient for him to simply try his best, however meagre that may be.ĭoing the dishes can be the simplest of tasks, requiring no more than filling a sink with hot, soapy water before systematically working through a pile of dirty plates. In due course, you'll want to make things more challenging for your husband, so we'll be considering ways to do just that - not just stretching his abilities, but keeping him on his toes if you so choose. ![]() We'll begin each section with something simple enough for any man to be able to take a reasonable stab at it, before moving on to more demanding duties.
