LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-do-housework-and-then-think-you-deserve-a-prize#post-1020090 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:12:00 +0000 SweetiePie 1020090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Me too! I don't want a prize, just some recognition. DH seems to think that housework isn't a big deal and even says "its not even necessary, we have a cleaning lady every two weeks." Ummm, I'm pretty sure if I didn't touch a thing between cleaning lady visits, he'd notice and agree that its necessary. But every time I tell myself to show him, I only last a day. I can't stand the mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-do-housework-and-then-think-you-deserve-a-prize#post-1020082 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:11:10 +0000 mrs. bird 1020082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love when DH comments on what i've done, makes me wanna do more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-do-housework-and-then-think-you-deserve-a-prize#post-1020074 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:10:09 +0000 swurlygurl 1020074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha - yes!
