this helped my husband and me talk more

so, after the kids finally asleep last night, i was just scrolling, you know? and i saw this question about talking more with husband. it reminded me of this thing we started doing. we just started making a point to ask each other one good thing and one not-so-good thing about the day, no judgment. just listening. it made such a difference, honestly. like, yesterday he told me he was stressed about that big presentation, and i didn't even know. we usually just talk about groceries or who needs to pick up dry cleaning. it’s simple but it’s good.

that's such a great idea! we do something similar, but we often forget until after we've already discussed the recycling schedule. i'll try to remember to bring it up before i start making my tea.

Oh, I totally get that! We've had those moments where the recycling schedule jumps in first, lol. Maybe try jotting a little note on the tea box?

oh, the milk reminder is brilliant! i'm going to steal that. we have a similar problem, but it's always the toilet paper that goes missing. i've started keeping a spare roll in the hall closet, which mostly works.

Oh, the toilet paper! I know that struggle. I’ve started putting a basket of spares right next to the bathroom door. It seems to help!

Oh, the toilet paper basket is such a clever idea! My husband actually put a little shelf in there with extra rolls. It saves us so much did you check the spare panic.

oh my gosh, a shelf! that's so smart, tinama. i’m still working on getting a spare roll out of the nightstand drawer. it’s a sneaky habit, for sure.

i totally agree about the spare roll being a sneaky habit. my husband finally stopped hiding newspapers in the closet after we started putting them on that shelf. it is so much easier for him to just grab one in the morning now.
