IKEA ad - Tidy up for your girlfriend

In our house, should be titled "Tidy Up for your Wife". Husband needs a swift kick to the slats for being insensitive boob who's clearly unaware of distribution of domestic workload in our home.

That KILLED me..I'm going to steal it for my blog, if you don't mind.

My mother, so old school that I imagine that school must have been in a cave, almost had a heart attack when she found out my brother helps his wife with the dishes.

I can't think of anything more intimate than you and someone you're involved in, cooking together, doing washing up in the kitchen, that sort of thing.

By all means, basil! Yes, I'm sure the fact that my husband 'makes' the bed (read: throws the comforter over the crumpled sheets, leaving pillows on the floor) makes me a bad wife in the MIL's eyes.

Awwww......

OM, seriously...DON'T get married unless you're prepared for this housekeeping crap.

no, what i hate is when the man does not clean then gets on to me for why the house isn't clean, and i am like, "if you like it clean, homey, you know where the broom is". I am all for men doing housework. I am of the school of thought "as long as it isn't food or body fluids, just live and let live."
I mean hi.

LOL, DP! I'm not a 'tidy' person, but I am that person who wipes down the counter, microwave, cleans the stovetop, mops the tile floors now and again...my husband is tidy, but not clean.
