Husbands, how can I encourage my husband to start building the baby’s room without sounding like I’m nagging?
My husband and I have a large living room, and our plan is to section off part of it with a stud wall to create a baby room. My husband is very handy, he has carpentry and joinery experience and qualifications, so he could realistically build the room in two or three days.
I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant, and he hasn’t even picked a date to start the build yet. He also hasn’t taken measurements or made a list of the materials and items he’ll need.
Whenever I bring it up, he gets defensive and asks me to stop going on about it. He says he’ll do it and that we still have plenty of time before the baby arrives, and that it’s only a two-day job.
The thing is, I’d really like the room finished sooner rather than later so I can start buying and organising baby things.
Husbands (or anyone who has been in a similar situation), how can I encourage him to get started without coming across as nagging?
