Yep from what I hear there are a lot of ladies who are quite happy to have their (obviously domestically unhelpful) husbands leave as life does get easier for them then! LOL Luckily I snapped up one of the good ones so my life is always worse when he's away!!

I've toyed with the idea of having DD1 prepare some things, and she has in the past, but the massive cleanup operation that I'm left with afterwards always outweighs the small benefit of her doing it! LOL So she does prepare things but only when I'm right there to say, "now wipe that up before you put it away..." etc.
