Household Chores

HydrantHydrant Posts: 7,773 ✭✭✭✭✭

At what point income wise do you think professional athletes and their wives stop doing basic house cleaning. You know, dishes, mopping, sweeping, picking up underwear off the floor, toilet cleaning, etc.? ......Money wise when does it become afternoon margaritas on the rocks with salt for the wives?

    Immediately, well for the high maintenance trophy wives anyway.

    I just make my dog do the chores. That's right, finish dusting and then sweep the floor. If you want to eat tonight, you'll do as I say!

    I’d say as soon as they move into their brand new house that eventually they might not be able to afford? I think it comes down to a couple things, obviously the ones with stupid money probably don’t lift a finger but the ones that still remain down to earth and are not “Flashy” type personality’s probably include household chores as part of having a close knit family

    Did I say you can take a break? No, I didn't, now get back to work, that laundry isn't going to wash itself. You'll do it, if you want to eat tonight!

    the most valuable thing any person on earth has is time.

    the very second they have enough money to afford house cleaning, they would be foolish to waste time doing any of it that they could be spending with family.

    Believe it or not household chores can help bring a family together. Ofcourse in my house it causes epic battles but in most cases it’s good for the well being of the household

    That's right, get those dishes done, and they better be spotless. You'll do it, or your belly won't be filled with chow tonight!

    In that situation I would make sure first and foremost that my mom and dad are taken care of in regard to the posters question. Without them and their guidance chances are you would not be in the position you are now in.

    The rich athlete's wives can't do any of that. It might break their inch long, custom painted fingernails. LOL

    The family cat isn't getting off the hook either.

    So true. The number one thing the wealthy can do with their money is buy time. Pay to skip lines, pay to have transportation immediately available, pay to have chores done for them, etc.

    Styx may disagree. Apparently they have too much time on their hands…

    O.k., I don't take out the trash. I want to but they won't let me. The problem is this.....the red container goes out every week. The grey container every other week......WITH the red one. The red one is for common trash. Like taco wrappers, ear plugs, and magazines that I pick up at the liquor store. The ones they keep behind the counter. Stuff like that. The grey one is for recycling.... around here that means beer cans, beer bottles, wine bottles, empty vodka, tequila, whiskey bottles.....you get the picture. Anyway,....I get mixed up 😵 about which week the red one goes out by itself and when to take the grey one and the red one out together. When that happens, the trashman won't pick them up. The Lovely Mrs. Hydrant does not like that. So......she take out the trash. I watch her do it . She wants me to call Waste Management and tell them that the red container needs a new wheel. I dont do it because I like to watch her struggle with the broken wheel. It's sexy. Anyway,....the red container needs a new wheel.

    I would tell you more about the trash situation around here but I have to sign off because Nicole and Brook want to ride their bicycles now and the tires need air. That's a job I can handle. By the way......last night Nicole filled up the wheelbarrow with rocks and dumped them in the open drain pipe in the grove (Washington Navels) so that she doesn't drive her bike into it. OUCH!!!! I watched her do it. I like to watch the girls work. It's easy.
