Miranda: Hello, Sally.
Sally: Oh, hi... What happened to you? You look so worried today.
Miranda: Ah... I had a small argument with my husband. He doesn't seem to care for me.
Sally: Why, he looks nice and kind.
Miranda: Well, before we had children, he was so sweet and considerate.
Sally: Do you mean he doesn't care about doing chores?
Miranda: Hmm... I've heard of husbands who do laundry, but my husband just folds dry laundry, and that's it. All done!
Sally: Ha ha... just ask him for help!
Miranda: I have tried but it was not so great. Should I give it a second chance?
Sally: Of course! But do not order him. Ask for help step by step.
Miranda: Step by step?
Sally: Sure. First, ask him to help you do the laundry.
Miranda: And then?
Sally: And then, give him compliments. Next, ask him to iron his clothes.
Miranda: Actually, he is much better at ironing. I can give it a try.
