Please settle an argument..

If you wanted him to do your house every other day, rather than every day, he is welcome to come vacuum and dust my house on the off days.

BTW, what does he think about being called, "Mr. Organic Mama?" That will teach him for being a rockstar. :funn:

:funn: :funn: :funn: :funn: :funn: :funn: On the off days, I'm Mrs. Rockstar, so it all balances out.

He'd probably say, he'd clean your house AFTER he did his daily morning chores here. He literally gets up, has coffee and starts his rounds. Every day.

I totally appreciate having a husband who can take care of everything (only because he wants to!), as my dad is the opposite... he can't boil freakin' water! I don't even think he knows how to run a vacuum, what dusting means or where the washer/dryer is located in the house!

I can relate regarding dads. My dad's idea of cooking is opening a box of Frosted Flakes, or breaking out the peanut butter and crackers. The guy can operate a huge farm, rebuild a tractor, or build a house, but he has no idea what the buttons on appliances do or how the appliances function. Now if the vacuum wasn't working, he could probably repair it, but that would be the extent of it. Of course, he could direct someone else in proper operation of said appliances.

That's my dad, Mr. John Deere (literally!). He grew up on a dairy farm & worked for JD his whole life, even now after he's retired... but he can't even open Frosted Flakes. His idea of self-cooked dinner is PB mixed in with jelly, until they came out with that already mixed stuff they tried to pass off as mixed PB&J in the 80's.

He used to direct me, being the solo female child. It's why I became a PITA for him, probably. :funn:

I think someone in your house deserves an "A" for effort.

No doubt. and to boot he heated up the ham, helped with appetizers, brought all extra chairs upstairs, and even decorated some eggs.
Oh, and helped clean up the table after dinner.

I think I'll keep him. ;-)

:roll: OK, I have mostly tile so Im sweeping all the time, but I guess it would all depend on how bad the dust was built up. I wouldn't want to vacuum then dust the pix frames and fan. I do know this fo sho tho that I really don't like it if I'm eating out and someone starts sweeping or vacuuming. Paleez...:nono1: !

HELLO !!!!! do neither !!!! have you not learned anything at all from me ??? ;-)

Oh, Audie - that is exactly what I was thinking when I read the question - NEITHER - then, you don't have to decide which to do first!!! :funn:

I normally dust first then vacuum but to be honest I have wondered if it shouldn't be the other way around. I'm just lucky to get it done.
