Is my partner the only one or do most men have a problem with the cleaning isle in superstores. When we go shopping together he is fine until we reach the cleaning products, he huffs and puffs and is forever saying they should have chairs for the men to be able to sit down and wait for us girls to finish choosing ! Just wondered if any one else has the same problem with there man????
My partners not too bad, I think most men get bored in the cleaning aisle though. It works both ways, I get bored when he's in the booze aisle or looking at car products!
To be honest with all the products I have under the sink I could have my own cleaning shop. I am addicted to buying any new product! I also agree with you FATBIRD I get dragged to all the car products so its only fair I suppose!
My OH says I seem to think that the more products I buy the cleaner the house will be (I seem to forget something is needed that is called elbow grease.)
(\__/) (+'.'+) (")_(")
STILL A LONG WAY TO GO TO GET ANOTHER GOLD STAR!!!
Snap squeezy & carol! I keep buying mor stuff even though I can't get anything else in the kitchen cupboard, might help if I used some of them occasionally! May chuck them all out & just have 20 bottle of Green Apple Dettol under the sink
FB, I totally agree. I have become a Greenapple Dettol Queen. It's so bad I want to eat it. But I have all these other materials I have bought that I know I won't use now.
I know shin, it smells more "apple-y" than real apples doesn't it?! Great stuff though, love it! Will really have to chuck everything else out - but what a waste of money then
I'm the one that gets most of the cleaning products in and uses them, and I'm male. the wife works and I dont so I supose I'm a house husband, and dont start Secret Squirrel,or you other 2 just grow up or stay in your cave.
Hi MR I'm fine hun. And how you keeping? It seems as if it has been ages since I spoke to you probably.
Well, this is my view. Both myself and my husband works but I am the breadwinner and I do most of the work around the house aswell but I do expect help from hubby. If he doesn't help he gets starved and no clean clothes. He hates shopping with a passion and always reminds me that not all the guys he works with has to do the shopping, yeah thats why we bump into them in Tescos shopping on their own? My hubby has no way out there, he has to come shopping with me if he likes it or not and if he done a bad job doing it himself it wouldn't make me want to do it myself, as for the school run bit - me and my hubby have a theory "you can look but don't touch" and if we see a good looking man or woman, we tell each other. We have no secrets and it is my hubby's job to do the hoovering in the house.
Originally posted by Secret Squirrel: Can I just say to my fellow men out there: If her indoors makes you do the shopping, make sure that you do a really bad job of it; that way she might get off her lazy fat ass and do it herself next time. Then if she makes you do the school run, come back and mention how many attractive single mums there are around the school gates. Then by all means do some vacuuming but make sure it’s in the middle of one of her pathetic house or food TV shows. That should do the trick.
How many names do you use on this forum. Stop and think, we are on this forum, because we are far from fat and lazy, but very interested in running our homes and getting tips from others. My tip to you is GET LOST.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone. If you enjoy something once,. Do it again. .

squeezy lemon I know just what you mean. I tend to get carried away in the cleaning isle, always looking for whats new. Could start my own shop. But hubby is great helps out with most household chores.

Secret Squirrel this is especially for you. You need to stop and think about what you say, or grow up. I'm very house proud and like a nice home. BUT,,,, sometimes i'm confined to sitting on my Ass as you put it, WHY?. because i have MS. And i hate it, i would rather be up and doing things around my home, but having said that i keep a very clean tidy orgnised home, so it dosen't suffer, and yes my hubby helps me a great deal. Especially in the bad days. So SHUT up or get back in your play pen. Cant imagine what use you would be to anyone. Who knows maby when you grow up you might change.

I think secret squirrel is a hen pecked husband who has to come on here slagging us homemakers male or female off cos he is such a wimp and excuse for a man......
Well, we all are not 100% fans of cleaning but its something we all have to do or we would live it pig sties if we don't. I'm not 100% fan of cleaning but it has to be done. I paid good money for my house and I am proud of my home so whats the point if I don't keep it clean? It's a waste if I don't. I work hard to pay for it!
Probably his mummy, together with ironing his underwear and socks. Grow up, Unchained.
Squirrel, if you did the shopping badly, we'd just have spag bol for two weeks, not a problem. You'll get it right next time. As for other yummy mummies at the school gate, so what. If your partner is impressed by that, more fool her, and how dare you, even just in theory, disrespect the mother of your own child(ren) and make her feel bad for your own cheap personal gains. Is that the sort of example you'd want to set for your child? Very mature. Then again, I seem to be talking to someone who's barely grown some fluff on his chin, so I guess I shouldn't expect too much.
Leaning towards cleaning. Am the Queen of my own castle.

Oh look! somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed.
What the hell is the point in ironing underwear and socks exactly, its typical of a woman to think that way. Us men are not really bothererd either way. If you feel the need to do more work nobody is standing in your way.
