How to get your husband to clean the house

1. Put your house on the market.

2. Lovingly let him sleep in until 10:00am on a Sunday.

3. Awake him and tell him you need just a half hour of sleep before you go house-hunting. You are so tired.

4. Call him from the bedroom, impersonating a real estate agent who has highly motivated buyers who need to see the house in 20 minutes.

5. Slip into a deep, blissful slumber.

That is awesome. I wish I could think of something so good! You were oh, so close, too.

Next time, you could have a friend do it?!!

It was a brilliant idea. There’s some code you can dial to block your number….next time!

Genius idea!! You need to dial *67 – then he can’t see the caller ID. :)

I have completely given up with this. My husband has no idea where any cleaning supply is even located in the house. I’m not even sure that he would know which end of the brush to stick in the toilet. It’s a good thing he’s so cute!

here’s how i do it: just don’t clean. after a few days, he’ll be disgusted. after a few more days, he’ll grudgingly wash a few dishes. keep it up, and eventually he’ll be picking up lincoln logs and vacuuming. the key is to not give in and clean anything. whenever he complains, use the “i’ll get to it honey” line. he can’t call you on it, since he says it all the time. (or at least mine does) MWAHAHA.
