I am thinking 2 hours should put the house back into a reasonable condition.

Naw, leave it how it is. Teach her for leaving you alone with the kids.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostWhat's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

45 minutes should do the trick. You don't want to strain yourself, HFN. Besides, you've got football to watch.I'm like LeBron James.

Don't be a fool. Give yourself plenty of time. You will either be a bum or a hero when she gets back. No middle ground on this one."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

It's important to moderate your messiness while your spouse is gone. Not all of us clean like Elizabeth Shue in "Adventures in Babysitting"."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

The house will always be cleaner than when she left because she is not there. She is truly a New Mexican Disastress.Comment

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

One Hour, and that's if my foot print was light. Two hours if I had guys over to watch a game.
The worst days of my life are the day before my wife's mother comes to visit.Comment

I depends on how much welcome-home-nookie you want
Here's what I do.
I always do the dishes but I leave them in the dishwasher with the "Finished" light on. If a man cleans a dish and no one is around to see it did it really happen?
I will wash the clothes and fold them and put them into the baskets but leave them in the kids rooms. I always mess up putting them away plus then she sees that I did the laundry.
I do one big cleaning job (cleaning out the fridge, cleaning the blinds, organizing the closet, etc.)
It also helps if you look/act tired when she gets home."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

(Number of days wife has been gone) x (number of children at home with you, including yourself) x 10 minutes, divided by (number of days you're willing to go without sex + 1)Comment

Does this mean that, in general, many of you don't do much cleaning around the house?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
