Kids are kids how hard is it to move toys smh

Itās easy to call him lazy. And easy to tell her to do it herself. But in all reality this is a personal problem at home that she needs to communicate and both ends need to compromise. The toys can be kept , you can cooperate and make it easier for him to mow āout in this heatā like you said by making your kids responsible. If your kids are too young then you need to assure that prior to him mowing you get any toys out of the way. As for the play set outside thatās something he should be able to move before mowing if itās too heavy for you. He canāt just throw toys away just because he doesnāt want to deal with it. Kids need toys. But he also needs your help and he doesnāt know how to communicate that properly and youāre just trying to find an excuse not to make those kids responsible or you simply want to prove your point about him being lazy. Communicate better. Teach your kids responsibilities and help keep the toys out of the way when he mows. Make a deal with him if there happens to be any toys that get left out in the ground while mowing he has the right to throw it away.
If it were up to me ā¦youuu wud be cutting the grass from now on.
Clean up the toys or mow the yard yourself. Iām the yard person in my house because my hubby is the same way (not many kids toys other than pool and trampoline but I have gardens, tables, fire pit, corn hole, horseshoes etc etc lol) mowing around stuff and having to move stuff doesnāt bother me, but it does him so I do it. Also, we donāt know exactly what kind of ātoy messā youāre talking about here. Is it a few outside play things or a million things thrown about the yard?
If he had ātoysā id start throwing a fit about them and saying they can go in the trash cause they are a nuisance

Kids should put there toys up after they play no matter what day it is. If they have a place to put umā¦as far as mowing around a swing setā¦tell him to use a weed whacker around tuff spotsā¦much easier and looks just as goodā¦make a family day out of doing the yard wrkā¦so many easy ways to handle this situation without a hassleā¦I understand both sides, but if u come together as a family, it can be resolved where everyone is happy 
Do they play with it? If yes, then tell him to man up and do his job as a father and a man. If they donāt play with it then donate it
Just cut the grass yourself, no problem

Remind him he would be taking away from both your kids and wouldnāt be fair to them. Also help out, depending on age of kids have them help pick toys up that can be picked up. (We have a little chest for outside to put some outside toys in). As far as swings well your mowing around it for the kids- itās your house gotta take care of it
Toys are expensive to throw away & then to buy more. I suggest that either the day b4 or day of mowingā¦ You & the kids can clean up the toys & put them all together so they are out of his way. Itll help alot especially the lil ones learning to clean up after themselves 
Help by moving things then make a parking spot for toys and get kids to start parking them there.

Heās being very inconsiderate and lazy. So what he has to cut around the freaking toys omg how hardš. To get rid of toys You spent good money on and things they actively play with is wasteful. Want kids to spend all day everyday outside but want the throw their toys away over you not wanting to put forth a little extra effort. Like I canāt wrap my head around anyone thinking this way much less anyone agreeing with him.

He should make an effort. I think he is just being lazy. I would remind him of his fatherly responsibilities and obligations. Do not offer to do it yourself, he will take advantage of that. His a grown man. He needs to get on with it. Iām sure you do chores you dont want to do. Make him do his part.
I just threw all my sons old toys he donāt play with lol
If he so bothered by it then he should pay someone to do the grass/ yard maintenance, problem solved. Are the kids supposed to have nothing to play with cause itās an inconvenience, ridiculous. Get rid of HIS stuff that inconveniences YOU and heāll rethink his decision pretty quick. 
Then do it yourself if you can do it without the moaning. All power to you .

Mowing can be a daunting, miserable task, especially in any kind of heat because more heat comes off the mower. The addition of having to deal with stopping typ pick shit up in front of it (which requires releasing the mower so you have to pull start it again) is enough to frustrate anyone. Been. There. From his perspective itās extra unnecessary work, making a hard job even harder.
Itās a little unfair to call him lazy when heās the one mowing the lawn, lazy would be doing nothing. I highly doubt he had any real intention of doing that, iām gonna call the bluff. Heās implying they should already be picked up.
Before I mow I walk the yard WITH the kids, they are their toys and therefore primarily their responsibility to pick up. No age is too young to learn to pick up their own mess (in fact the younger you start, the more habitual it becomes, they expect to have to). After weāre done walking the yard and theyāre confident all the toys are up, I mow without prejudice. One toy got shredded, fortunately a cheap one, but it encouraged them to be extra diligent the next time. Read between the lines, heās asking for help. We expect all the consideration, gotta give some too.
Build a wooden box the kids can fit their toys in lean it up against the trailer and have them clean their toys up after each use. Keeps your lawn nicer and husband quiet as for the swing set he can suck it up they need to play and itās more convenient to keep the swings then have them go to the park all the time
Throw out the husband and keep the toys and now the yard yourself! 
Either you move the toys for him or you cut the grass. No big deal.

If ur husband is being like that, then on his day off put all the kids toys in the cupboard and see how long he lastsā¦ the garden toys play a game with the kids to clean it up. Maybe put it on concrete. Wat did ur husband expect wen u brought swings. That he could magically lift it up?? Heās an adult.

Throw his toys out to? Canāt have it both ways 
kids need to be kids, simple. If he doesnāt want this then he shouldnāt of decided to become a dad. Sorry, harsh but if my partner did that Iād be telling him to get rid of his PlayStation and fishing gear
why not buy a shed to store all your toys in. it would also teach your children to pick up after themselves when they are finished playing with their toys. i really canāt blame your husband if he is trying to work hard at keeping your place nice looking.

I think you could either help him by moving toys or switch roles n you do the mowing and see if the same thing bothers you
If not you might need to take on the lawn mowing and he take on one of your roles

i mean it is a pain having to mow around toys and move them but i also do not agree with depriving children of toys. They are only young once. Maybe you can compromise somehow with him and go either pick up toys or help him pick them up before he mows. You could also have the kiddos help you pick them up. Well unless they are huge like swing set and trampoline. but even so, i dont agree with depriving children of their childhood, maybe you can help him move the big stuff? Some of it can be done with weed eater rather than moving it. That is what my husband did and although i had plenty of my own responsibilities around the house, i always offered to help him in anyway. Usually he didnt accept offer though since mowing was basically all he did outside of working and dealing with the vehicles and such. We both worked fulltime jobs and i did most of the house work and he dealt with the outside.
you should have told him donāt let the door hit you in the ass

Depends on how much toys. Do you make the kids tidy things up when they are done outside? Does he have to love a bunch of stuff out of the way just to cut? Put yourself in his shoes if you were cuttingā¦obviously thereās a compromise there

I mow the lawn, because my husband does alot and I donāt mind but I have to move everything beforehand. Heāll help me move it and put it back. If he mows, I move the stuff then put it back. Thereās your solution.
Tell the kids to pick them up? If they are over 2, they can pick their own toys and move them somewhere else. Having said that, toys are a part of life, both of you should be making an effort in clearing them to mow if the kids are too young.

Depends. Do you do all the inside chores? Cooking everyoneās meals, cleaning everyoneās lau dry, cleaning and organizing the whole house? If so, he can deal with it. They are his children too and cleaning for the children to have a safe fun place to play is just part of parenting and caring for them.

Just do like we do when my hubby is ready to mow the grass I go out and move the toys as he moves that way he doesnāt have to stop mowing the grass and he gets a little extra help since he refuses to let me now for him! And as for the swing set literally mowing around that is a piece of cake so complaining about that one is a little excessive but the rest just help him move them or like everyone else suggested maybe the kids do it for himš¤·āāļø
Tell your hubby that if HE gets rid of the swing set and the kids outdoor toys HE will have to take them to the park to playā¦ All by himself.
You have to ask yourself what type of man you married and had children with that would deprive his children of having a swing set and outdoor toys just because itās a little extra work to mow around them. We had a 15 foot trampoline in the backyard for our grandson that me and the hubby would move on mowing days and we never complained about it. We took it down before winter came because I read it wasnāt good to let snow accumulate on the mat and stretch it out. Then COVID came and we havenāt had the opportunity to put it back up. My hubby is almost 70 and I am 67, if we can do it so can your whiney ass husband!!!
Move toys to a mowed area then move back to play area when heās finished doing it. Iāve Been moving toys for years!
