Ever found yourself in a situation where, after a stressful busy day at work you arrive home to find it in exactly the same messy state you left it, even though your partner solemnly promised to clean up? π
The sink is filled with dirty dishes, some of which are growing a scary looking mould. The laundry you did this morning has been left in a heap on the side, smelling stale, all creased and needing to be rewashed.
Sighing loudly, you make your way to the bedroom and arrghhh; the bed isnβt made, their clothes are lying in a perfect circle around the washing basket and used tissues are scattered everywhere, it looks like itβs been snowing.
Jaws clenched, eyes bulging you take a deep breath and head into the lounge where your partner lies, fast asleep and sprawled out across the couch like a beached whale, that is, if beached whales snored! π‘
In this moment of complete frustration and rage, two thoughts come into your mind: either beat them to death with your brand new pillow which has been thrown on the floor or get busy and complete all the chores they βforgotβ to do. Youβve had a long day at work and canβt be bothered to argue so you decide on the latter option, gather that last bit of strength and take it upon yourself to clean the dishes, wash the clothes and tidy the bedroom β all the things they neglected to do.
You head to bed having completed all the household chores once AGAIN, and hope they donβt wake up before you fall asleep because World War III will erupt. Morning comes and youβre woken by cuddles and kisses. Last nightβs frustrations forgotten, youβre ready to tackle a new day. Youβd love a token of appreciation thanking you for your hard work but you know itβs never going to happen. At least you get a big smooch as they charge out the door to work.
Running slightly late, you finish getting ready and prepare for another busy day. Itβs only then you notice the trail of mess your partnerβs left behind; clothes around the washing basket, dishes from the late snack in the sink, wet towels on the bathroom floor. And so, the cycle begins once again β¦ π
Are you ready to change the way chores are seen forever?
