EXTREME - MAYBE, MAYBE NOT


A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog. Walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. a lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall. In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?.. ''Yes," was his incredulous reply… She answered ,.. 'Well, today I didn't do it :)

Hope it gave you a chuckle and glad that it wasn't your house.

    1. It is true. Some people don't realize just how much work is involved in meeting the needs of a family on a daily basis.

  7. I'm friends with so many mothers of big families that I'd already read this on FB before. It's cute, but honestly, Daddy has NEVER ever asked me what I did all day. He knows that watching children and all that that entails plus homeschooling is a BIG job and he always compliments me on how well I keep the house looking good:)!

    Plus, he helps, too! Also, whenever we had a baby in diapers, he never shied away from changing them. He could do everything just as well as me, except breastfeeding, lol!

    Love,
    Kitty

    2. That's for sure! I have known many women friends that couldn't even go out for an evening to themselves without their babies/small children because the husbands were "helpless" and couldn't handle the home, etc.

      I honestly couldn't take being married to such lazy men!

      Love,
      Kitty

      P.S. Didn't mean to go on a rant, but it is a pet peeve of mine that some men are so selfish about helping at home.
