It's nice if he comes, but if he prefers to be home, or do something else, it's not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1120022 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 16:40:30 +0000 boots 1120022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! My husband always says this when he doesn't want to go somewhere...usually grocery shopping. </p> <p>I usually comply, but generally his idea of cleaning and my idea of cleaning turn out to be a bit different ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1120014 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 16:27:04 +0000 autumnlove 1120014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, I would make him go...my hands are always full at parties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119989 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 15:58:00 +0000 PurplePeony 1119989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my DH ever said this, none of us would be going to the party because I'd have died of shock. ;)</p> <p>But yes, I would leave him with a list of what I expected to be done in return for him skipping out on the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119975 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 15:26:44 +0000 Andrea 1119975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: oh I always have to go.

LOL. I would much rather stay home and clean, too. Kids parties are the worst! :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119954 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:59:03 +0000 Cherrybee 1119954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I dunno - he doesn't clean to my standards! Besides, I love cleaning (and hate kids parties) so I'd force him to go to the party and Id stay home to clean! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119953 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:57:03 +0000 loveisstrange 1119953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, even if he wasn't cleaning. I wouldn't force him to go to a kids party.</p> <p>We did this today, actually, I took C to a party and he stayed home and played GTAV. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119952 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:55:30 +0000 LovelyPlum 1119952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have, in fact. And it's never the wrong decision ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119949 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:52:24 +0000 hilsy85 1119949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I don't think I would ever face this scenario :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119948 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:52:24 +0000 jhd 1119948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely!!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stay-home-amp-clean#post-1119943 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 14:51:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 1119943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How am I supposed to argue with this when DH proposes to stay home &amp; clean over him joining us for a friends lo's birthday party?! He says he'd rather be productive &amp; he'd enjoying cleaning more than the party anyways. lol</p> <p>Would you "let" your SO stay home to clean? </p>
