    There’s a couple ways I see it. Make the negative consequence or positive reward enough that he makes the effort to remember on his own.

    You could also talk him through what happens when bin night gets missed. Where does he think the trash will go? How often does trash go out and how quickly do the bins fill up? How long does it take to catch up on a missed night? Maybe don’t rescue him when he forgets and make him figure out the answer to those questions.





  • There’s evidence that monogamous relationships existed for tens of thousands of years and the idea that these relationships lasted about 4-5 years each, long enough for one person to be able to more easily care for a young child as they got older. That’s not a psychological construct. It’s bonding, connection, hormones, and a biological drive.

    Now, I’m not discounting what people in a relationship feel for each other. I’ve been with my husband for almost 17 years, married almost 7. But I can also acknowledge that part of our love is hormones and biology, the same way that I acknowledge my desire for children is partially hormones and biology. That’s just how I’m wired.
