Comments on: How to get your husband to clean the house http://www.scarymommy.com/how-to-get-your-husband-to-clean-the-house/ A Mommy Blog written by Jill Smokler, a Baltimore mother with three young children Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:31:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: robyn http://www.scarymommy.com/how-to-get-your-husband-to-clean-the-house/#comment-39691 robyn Tue, 18 May 2010 14:33:12 +0000 http://www.scarymommy.com/?p=4704#comment-39691 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. 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.

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!
