Poll question: You come home from a gig at 2pm, exhausted..... |
|
You haven't eaten since dinner the night before, and you've barely had time to spend with your child, who's totally engrossed in video games. There's a stack of dishes the size of Mauna Kea in your sink. Your dirty laundry has gone on strike and is picketing at the basement door.
Your mom, who's been sitting for you today, informs you that your dog needs a bath.
What do you do?

Up at 530 am.. strip the bed, put it in the wash. Jump in the shower, dress for work. Tell the Hubby to put the sheets in the dryer at 300 when he returns. Wake the teenager tell her to clean her room before she leaves for school. Go to work, call the kid and make sure she is up and cleaned the room. Run all day 12 hours, only break is to pee.........take 3 calls from the kid. Pick the kid up at 715 and bring her home and tell her again to clean the room. pass the Hubby on the computer, find a 24 pack of tp sitting on the floor he got down and didn't put way. make the bed, clean the bird cages, do two loads of laundry, vacuum the living room. Load the dirty dishes. Make a cup of coffee.....here I am. an hour and 1/2 later. finally sitting, lets see.... why did I get married

Your house will suffer a bit...ok, maybe a lot...but at least you can get the point across that you aren't a maid.

21. Then you might consider |
|
informing the husband that you need a maid to help keep up and maintain your sanity.

22. The last time I tried that |
|
Hubby lost his full time job and I never got to try it. But he's working again after 2 years no work. I may after the first of the year try it again if he doesn't loss either of his political jobs
