I used to do housework every Saturday morning and couldnt do anything else and wasnt happy until it was done. So I would literally run around the house, stopping every 30 mins to play with my son.   and by starting at 7am I was finished by 11am.  This was the time my husband was at work.  Then deciding, I wanted to change this routine and get someone else more involved into it - I changed by cleaning day to Sunday.

Well I have to say the first Sunday it didnt quite work.  My husband did work hard for the first 30 mins, but then I got grumpy when I saw him sitting down to watch some TV, rather than keeping on.... Because of cause he wasnt doing it my way.  In the end, he decided to take my son to the BMX track - I think to get away from grumpy.

Then blow my socks off, on Friday night - he said I should leave the housework until he got home on saturday afternoon - so we both could do it together and get it done faster.  Wow.  It is now Saturday, and he is due home in the next 30 mins... lets see what happens.

Will I wouldnt hold my breath on this one - it didnt happen like i hoped.  And after he started doing the housework, the vacuum cleaner was left in the lounge to finish it.  I left it there without  complaint to see the action.  but nothing happened.  so guess what this week, I couldnt do it again and did it all myself on the Saturday - so guess who won!  any helpful tips guys?
