I want start by saying I am not, by any meaning saying that a wife/girlfriend should do this or that for their significant others, no feminist & conservative question, at list not my intention.
Just want to hear your opinion about something that just happen to me that it kind of made me laugh.
So this week, husband as always is traveling, only that he is coming back today, soon btw.
In this week also, cleaning wasn't much my priority, I like to keep clean the main rooms just in case we get visit but my bedroom, bathroom and family room were a mess. But I have dinner for him because I know he will get here hungry and is coming from eating fast food everyday.
I thought I wouldn't care, and I know he wouldn't either, and I have dinner for him, but at the last minute I kind of feel like I should do a quick clean up, some how I got too into it and what it was mean to be just a quick clean up end up on my scrubbing and polish and steaming, etc.
Great, the house is clean and I am proud, I can't wait for him to come home... only that walking into the bathroom I see my self in the mirror and I look bad, I do a armpit sniff and I almost faint.
So now I am thinking "great, the house is clean but I stink!" I am thinking that he much more would have rather find a dirty house then a stinky wife, so here I am going to take a shower.
I have to point out that all this is happening as my toddler is asking me for this and that and my older is doing a project for school, and every once in a while asking me things that it makes me happy that she thinks I would know but is not the case, so no so happy after all.
Anyway, so here I am, the house is clean, I am clean, kids are clean, AND NOW I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED.
And I can't avoid asking myself if I got it all wrong, that he is not even going to notice my hard work, which is going to make me upset, even if I know is not his fault, but stills, I will.
So I am thinking if instead of cleaning the house and taking a shower I should just went and take a nap, wake up just a few minutes before he gets home, put him something sexy and just let him have a "the best welcome ever".
To late for that now Grrrrrr!
So, just for fun, do you think your husband would rather: a good dinner on the table (no sex, house a mess and you aren't bad nor good) or find the house clean (no food, no sex, and stinky wife), a clean wife (no food, no sex, and a messy house) or just plain sex (the house is a mess, maybe is not even a piece of bread and how cares if you were not so clean, after all you both would get dirty, dirty together?)
Food and sex. The house could be falling down around him and he would
not notice. How do they not see the mess sometimes, is my question?
My husband is in the military, so he is out of town a lot. It's definitely sex. Hands down. Clean, sexy wife (I prefer the clean part but he would take me covered in mud I think). Then dinner of whatever I could throw together because it's still better than fast food.
Good food, and even better sex, I honestly don't think he would notice anything else ;)
Food, and clean sex for sure!! If you are clean and feel good about yourself, its much better!
Ask any man if he would rather have clean socks or sex and see what they say!
You are so cute!! lol
Sex.
Sorry - what was the question?
Hmmm, I think I would pick dinner and sex (not necessarily in that order) and to hell with the housework. Pretty sure hubby would agree with my decision :)
Dinner, quick clean up and clean sexy wife :)
Plastic wrap mini dress
Not one of your choices, but in my experience, a man will forgive a messy house if when he walks in, he smells good food and sees a woman who has cleaned up and put on something sexy for him! They do care about their stomachs...and lower... Most do not care that much about how the house looks.
My husband wouldn't care about a clean house. he would want dinner, a clean wife, and sex. ;o) quick dinner.......
if you want it all, take a nap, take a shower, pick up debris (toys) and nothing else, get take out. All is good!
Sex and some kind of food available (cereal or sandwiches work if I can figure out how to keep the 4 kids out of our way for sex). He and I have had a few talks recently, and sex is WAY higher on the list than anything else.
Thank you for the best laugh!!! My husband would much prefer kids in bed and sex
A quick once over everything and a quick take out or Chinese. A nap, a shower and a sexy dress or something when he came home.
Clean houses are at the bottom of the list when it comes to men. They feel that you do it anyway so no big deal. *I asked mine once about this because I had slaved away cleaning and making things sparkle and he took as the usual household maintenance.*
Enjoy hubby and the night. You earned it.
The other S.
Mine would appreciate/want sex the most!
Sex! He would rather have that then make a sandwich or cereal.
He would not really notice the house but I always do a quick pick up,
surface cleaning kind of thing.
i dont know what my boyfriend wold want but sex and being clean what be what he got and what I would want. I'd probablt pick up beer and wings and put somethnig cute on
Your post has me cracking up. You sound like me when my husband goes away which isn't often. I have this dream/fantasy of what things should be like when he gets home. I have tried to execute them all only to work myself up into an exhausted frenzy by the time he gets home. My new solution to this problem is to trim the list down. Two things I know about my husband is that he likes to get his appetities fed. So with that in mind I make certain food is ready, the table set, and me as cute as possible and possibly getting rid of the kids. ;-)
Great question and story.
I actually asked my husband this when my daughter was a toddler and I felt the house was always upside-down. His answer was something like - I appreciate that you make a nice dinner every night. When I get home, our daughter is clean and smiling and happy. I'd rather the house be a mess if that means that you'll have a little energy for some "adult time" later after DD goes to sleep. I don't care if the house is a mess and really, I can make myself a sandwich if I have to.
Sorry, but I think sex is higher up on a guy's priority list than ours. I always take a quick shower before sex (so does he) - so I'm always clean, but the house may not be.
When my husband travels he gets whatever he comes home to. He's lucky I don't hand him the screaming children and walk out the door! LOL Not really but there have been times when I think it.
He's come home to the entire gambit. Depends on how long he's gone, how the kids have been behaving and if we've been sick or anything.
My hubby just returned from a week long trip today, so I can answer this question from recent personal experience. SEX all the way!! Of course, all 3 of my kiddos were in school when he returned. We took advantage of the empty house and made lots of noise. I think most hubbys would prefer sex over a clean house or food any day, but maybe that is just my hubby. Take a shower, shave, put on nice smelling lotion, etc., and forget the cleaning. ;-)
Sex, sex, sex! We could/would shower together so he could have sex and a clean wife!
