‘Just tell me what to do’

If you're a busy mom and you want your husband to take the iniative and offer more help ...

But when you eventually end up asking for help, he makes a big sigh and says, "Just tell me what to do."

It sure might SOUND like he doesn’t care enough to figure out what you need. 

But the truth is that most of the time, your husband wants to give you EXACTLY what you want.

And if he had the words, this is probably what he'd say:

"Hey, I care about your needs and I want to give you everything you want. If I could read your mind and do exactly what you need, I would. But the next best thing I can think of is for you to tell me what you want me to do so I don't mess it up...

(Also, please don’t be mad at me.)"

But learning how to talk this way doesn't come naturally to most people. 

I definitely didn't know how!

Fortunately, it's never too late to learn new ways of talking with (and understanding) your husband...

So you can start getting more of the help you need, without all the sighs :)

Don't forget to give me a follow if you'd like to get regular tips on how to do just that.
