Are you tired of feeling like you do all of the cleaning in the house, and your husband does very little?
Do you ever feel like no matter how much cleaning you have to do, there's always more, and so you feel stressed?
Well, if you're one of thousands of wives across this country who can say yes, then just keep reading.
For just a few more minutes of your time, I can tell you, yes, YOU how to get him to help out cleaning. No more of those endless arguments about cleaning and responsibility. Put that Advil away, because I have the answer:
Threaten to get a maid.
Now, if your husband is as miserly as mine, (and whose isn't?) then all you have to do is sit right down during a quiet Sunday afternoon, preferably while he's into something like sports or reading, and just tell him that you're considering hiring a maid for the house, because the stress of cleaning is just too much. If he doesn't flinch, tell him how much it will cost. Even if it is your money, just the cost alone should make him squint. Sure, you might hear the words "ridiculous," or "stupid," but what you might end up getting: a renewed commitment to cleaning, which has to be demonstrated in order for the maid to disappear, and a trip to your favorite low-cost store Target, to buy all of the things you and he will need to keep your house clean.
Yes, that's right. You need a carrot to dangle in front of his head. Find something that will get to his heart, and you will have a cleaner house.
**Void where prohibited. In certain cases in which the husband is a happy spender, or doesn't really care if you get a maid, this may not work. Fortunately for me, so far, it has.***
