Why don't you...?

I'm losing my mind just a little means that I feel a little crazy.

We often say, "why don't you..." to suggest something.  It looks like a question, but it's really a nice way to advise or command.  Why don't you meet me in the middle?  means "Let's compromise."

What do you ask people to do?  Can you use, "Why don't you?"

Example:  When I ask my son to take out the trash, I can say "Why don't you take out the trash?"

When I ask my daughter to make a salad, I can say, "Why don't you make a salad?"

When I ask my husband to call me, I can say, "Why don't you call me after work?
