Housework was a woman's job, but one evening, SANDY arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer. Dinner was on the stove, and the table set.
She was astonished!
It turns out that DAVE had read an article that said, 'Wives who work full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired to have sex'.
The night went very well. The next day, SANDY told her friends all about it. 'We had a great dinner. DAVE even cleaned up the kitchen. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put it away. I really enjoyed the evening.'
'But what about afterward?' asked her friends.
'Oh, that........... DAVE was too tired.' God is good

How true is this?? AND we were GAME!! And ... AND we survived!!How did we survive?1. Our sandwiches contained leftover roast chicken; we didn’t have fridges in classrooms or ice bricks in our lunch boxes, but we didn’t get food poisoning.2. We rode bikes without helmets or adult supervision or bike paths but we mostly just ended up with bloody knees.3. Our mothers wiped our faces with spit on a hanky not an antibacterial wipe.4. Tuck shop was sausage rolls and cream donuts but kids were wiry and fast.5. Our parents rarely knew our teachers’ names, let alone their NAPLAN prep strategy.6. When our teachers would whack us, we wouldn’t tell our parents for fear of getting punished again, so we avoided trouble in the first place.7. Our trampolines were net-less and sometimes hosed with water and a squirt of Palmolive detergent for extra slipperiness.8. What was said on the playground stayed on the playground.9. We went on camps and excursions without 18 forms to be signed and witnessed.10. As toddlers, we rode in supermarket trolleys without padded trolley liner thingies.11. Angry teachers were treated with caution. We just prayed for a nice one next year.12. Weekends were about our parents’ social lives. As kids, we played murder in the dark while parents talked with their friends and forgot we existed.13. Generally, we went to the closest school, not the best one.14. Kids got scared before parent-teacher interviews, not teachers.15. We got ourselves to Saturday sport and told tall tales about how the win was won.16. Helping with the washing up was as important as homework.17. Birthday parties were fairy bread and Fanta, not fruit kebabs and face painting.18. When a kid was injured, people felt sorry for her parents. They didn’t ask what the hell were they thinking letting her climb that tree anyway.19. Cubby houses were built by kids not bought from Toys R Us.20. If you did badly in a test, you got a talking to, not a cuddle.21. A pocket-knife was a perfectly acceptable gift for a 10-year-old.22. If anyone got air conditioning in their bedroom, it was mum and dad.23. Family holidays came before kids’ sporting schedules.24. Your dad’s desire to watch Four Corners trumped your need to watch Battlestar Galactica.25. A teacher could put mercurochrome on a scraped knee without obtaining our parents’ permission and completing an ‘incident report’.26. A playdate was walking to a friend’s house, ringing the doorbell and saying, ‘Can Cathy come and play?’27. School excursions happened without a ‘risk assessment’ and a two to one kid / parent volunteer ratio.28. There was no padding on netball hoop posts.29. No one wrote names on cups at parties.30. You could offer your friend a bite of your hot dog.31. If the bus driver yelled at you, the bus driver didn’t get in trouble, you did.32. If you didn’t make a team, you tried harder or tried something else.33. Pass the parcel had one winner.34. There was one kind of milk. It was full cream and it was delicious.35. Meat was bought at the butcher, and was packed without a use-by date. Our parents used their noses to tell if the mince was off.36. Getting one present on your Christmas wish list was good result.37. Drives that were longer than an hour happened without supplies of rice crackers and juice.38. Going to the shops/church/the nursing home to visit Nan was boring as hell but could be endured without an iPad.39. School holidays were about not being at school, not soccer workshops, art classes and pony camp.40. Being tired was no excuse for being rude.41. You had to do something great to get a ‘student of the week’ award. Not just show up at school6

@arpie, the best way to deal with that is just "wonderful, go for it. I can retire now." My sisters husband early in their marriage went outside where she was hanging up washing and began to instruct her on the way it should be done. She dropped what she was doing and told him he was welcome to it, then she went inside. He NEVER tried anything like that again.2

WAY TO GO, @Blossom1961!! I HATE the way hubby hangs out the washing (not that he does it now) .... and often went out afterwards & 'rehung' it! LOL. And I am NOT a perfectionist ...... but if you hang it 'right' you don't have to iron it 3
