    My Little Buffalo

Another shining example of how we're from different planets.

The other night, I told Nate that the way he feels about sex is how I feel about housework.

It’s crucial to my survival, it helps me feel sane & I feel like I HAVE TO HAVE IT DONE at least once per week or I will explode.   & I’d prefer not to do it myself.

He’s started helping with the dishes more since then.

  1. Classic. I should tell my husband the same – lol!

  2. I'm so glad JPW reads your blog :)

  3. THIS.

    My husband told me that I was OCD, I said, "Yes but now you now why I can't relax during sex when we have a dirty house!"

    He too has starting cleaning more…a lot more. ;)

  4. That's a good one!!

  5. Hahaha, I definitely agree!

  6. I feel this way about foot rubs. I think I might have to use this.

  7. OMG. I think I just peed a little. I'm getting the mister to sign up for you blog.
    Well, as long as the bj post isn't still showing on the first page!

  8. Okay, this post alone just earned you a bloggy award! Yes, I nominated you for one on my blog. You're soooo funny, Blair.

  9. *sigh* Housework. I vaguely remember having a clean house. Now I just come home from work and hope to God that rodents haven't taken over. (Okay, it's not really that bad. Don't call social services…)

  10. Thats hilarious.

  11. I love this, I'll have to use this one one my husband!!

  12. All I can say is how true!

  13. Word.

  14. That's awesome!

  15. Brilliant!

  16. this. made my day.

  17. Amen!! I was explaining to my hubby how helping around the house was my foreplay. And interestingly enough, he has helped MUCH more lately :)

  18. Hmmmm…Maybe saying something like this could get my husband to at least do one house cleaning chore for me…I HATE DUSTING. Hmmmmm

  19. HA.. nice explanation.

  20. haha, Blair, you are seriously SOOOOO funny!

  21. Amen sistah. I tell my DH, "Wash my car, clean my house and I am ready to go!"

  22. My husband and I had a similar conversation about housework and dinners. He prefers to just clean on the weekends but that doesn't work so well with a baby (or my psyche). My mother (who was apparently channeling some 1950's housewife) suggested that since he really likes "real" dinners I should make a point to cook every day and then he would help more with the cleaning. Instead I told him that it was difficult for me to cook a "real" dinner when the house was a mess, especially the kitchen, and I would be more likely to cook dinner every day if I had more help in the cleaning department. Unsurprisingly he's done a lot more dishes since then.

  23. I'm a lurker, but this is seriously hilarious! Thank you.

  24. You nailed this one…so, so funny!

  25. i love your analogy! this i will be sharing with my husband!
