Along came a hubby...

It feels like it's been a lifetime-and-a-half but my whole chore situation hasn't yet been resolved.

I guess this is the only thing that the hubby and I ever have disagreements over.

He's sooo lax about things... for the most part I am too... but I also care about deadlines like wanting to get the house in tip-top condition, at the latest, if someone is about to come over. On the other hand, my hubby seems to like chaos in the last second. Yikes!

He always feels like there's more time.

So seriously, how do I make him realize?

I'm not trying to say he's a bad husband or anything... but I seem to have no way of instilling a sense of urgency into him :(

He's kind, caring and loving... never wakes me up in the morning to serve him breakfast masha'Allah.

There's other things that are great about him too... but he just can't be trusted to complete chores without procrastinating...I don't want to nag him nor give him a time n date... but some things just need to be taken care of.

He says he's busy, which I understand. Life's like that...
We're also trying to get pregnant and a baby will get us super duper busy... so I just want him to realize that life goes on... some things still need to get done.
If all of this is normal, then what helps you to relax and not care about these kind of things?

Help please?
