I came home the other day from running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
Hubby proudly announced he had cleaned up the kitchen!
Seriously? I am a 38 year old women feeling like I have one too many balls in the air right now, this had me all kinds of excited.
As I walked into our kitchen my reaction was less…”Oh thank you Honey” and more “What the hell are you talking about, I thought you said you CLEANED.” The kitchen looked EXACTLY the same as I had left it!
Me voicing my opinion on the matter didn’t go over so well.
He had emptied and filled the dishwasher, and apparently wiped off the 1 by 1 foot piece of counter that wasn’t covered in crap. In man language, that baby was all good and cleaned up.
Sigh.
Man clean is just different then Women clean!
Man vacuuming means vacuuming around furniture and anything that might be lying on the floor. Women move chairs, couches, and every single piece of crap their kids and dogs have dropped or touched in the last 24 hours gets put AWAY.
Man dusting. It does not exist.
Man dusting. It does not exist.
Man dishes. If it fits in the dishwasher, you are all good. If not….it needs to soak. Usually for three or four days is good.
Man laundry. Gets done when he has completely run out of clean clothes and his socks can stand all on their own. It however does not get put away. It sits in that laundry basket all folded and creasing until it is needed to cover man parts. I guess putting clothes away in drawers would be a waste of man power.
Man toilets. Not in my lifetime!
Now don’t get me wrong I am grateful for every little bit of man cleaning that gets done around here. I think a man who vacuums is hot. I just wish man cleaning and women cleaning were animals of a more similar breed.
A girl can dream…
No, Man Clean is not the same at all!I never see Man Clean though but once every year or two if I’m sick or something. My husband is a total slob.
I’m so blessed — The Husband does everything but toilets. 🙂 The thing I cringe over is when he dresses our girls… “Oh thank you honey — now girls go back in the bedroom so I can change you.” 😉
Man clean is NOT the same! But, when it happens I don’t complain because it doesn’t happen often for me! I’ll take whatever clean help I can get! lol
BTW, thanks for the unfollow/refollow. Please let me know if I “appear” in your Dashboard again because you are one of my faves mama!
Absolutely hysterical!!
What cracks me up is that men feel the “need” to tell us every minute thing they do for “us”.
Congrats…men….would you like a ribbon or a medal 🙂
So true, so true!
Stop by my blog tomorrow. I have some surprises for you from yours truly!
The man cleaning drives me crazy. Everything needs to soak till I wash it. Arrghhh.
Hey Hey Hey!
Not so fast there missy. I am proud to say that this man cleans a mean house, kitchen, vacuuming and all. And I do my own laundry and fold and put it away. In fact, if it weren’t for me, this house would be a mess. Let’s just say that cleaning is not my wife’s strong suit.
P.S. I’m for hire. Just call 1-800-MANMAID.
Love it! I agree whole-heartedly with the lack of dusting ability. He once told me that just moves dirt around. *sigh* Well, yes, when he did it!!
Great blog, visiting from Peanut Butter in My Hair’s Sunday Shouta-out 🙂
This is so stinking true! I will admit, once two of my sons went into the military things changed, for them at least. They can outclean any woman now, even me.
Maybe I need to have the recruiter pay a visit to their dad.
lmao. I would have said the same thing “what the hell are you talking about…?” However, thankfully my hunny really cleans when he says he does.
i can relate to this. except my hubby thinks that since he works all day, that his cleaning responsibility should be almost nothing. men! ugh! 😉
Classic post! Classic!
As much as I appreciate the help around the house, I will confess to “going over” what my husband has man cleaned when he’s not around. Especially the kitchen and bathroom!
When I saw your post title, I knew exactly what you were talking about. I seriously think they have a filter in their brain that stops them from seeing crumbs and dirt and dust.
And does he load the dishwasher in the most abnormally inappropriate ways like mine does?
My husband is actually pretty good. For a man. He is awesome with all the laundry – even putting away. But you’re right on other stuff. He’ll clean the bathroom which is toilets/sink/counter but not the tub, or the floor etc… kitchen is, as you said, anything that doesn’t need to be hand washed. But I appreciate the one I’ve got.
