Guest Andrea Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Just wanted to know if any of you have the same problem I do during hunting season. Does your housework get neglected until the season is over??? It's not something I am proud of but I find it almost impossible to keep my house clean when hunting season is here. I get up, go to work, rush home, bathe, slap on my camo, sit in a stand til dark, come home, fix dinner, help with homework, throw some clothes in the wash and go to bed. Sound familiar to anyone? Just wondering if I was the only one who was this obsessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends Sounds all to familiar to me! The way I figure it is hunting season only lasts for a little while, but the mess will ALWAYS be there! LOL It has gotten so bad sometimes that I have been known to pick up a couple extra packages of socks for the family so I can go a little longer without doing laundry. I have to get a sign a friend of mine has in her house. It says "If you have come to visit me, sit down and relax. If you have come to visit my house, make an appointment!"

Guest Andrea Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends That's funny. Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by slobs. I have a husband and 2 boys. No one helps out. (Of course, I can make the kids do some things.) By the end of hunting season I am ready to go on strike. Why can't Mom have some fun like the rest of them? Last time I went on strike it got so bad it was almost a health hazard. They'll just have to get over it. I'm not one to stay in the house cooking and cleaning all day. Can you tell I'm needing to vent? I love 'em to death but I gotta figure out something fast.

TM2FLI Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends That is too familiar here too and I don't even have kids so I can't imagine how it will be with little ones running around too! We do end up eating out a lot cause I don't have time to go to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally feel your pain! LOL I too have two boys (9 and 11) and a fiance that is just like having another boy. I can't remember the last time I sat on a dry toilet seat. The only thing that has worked for me was to get rid of all the extra junk that was laying around and then keeping everything else very organized. It helps to slow down on the messing. If I tried the strike thing the only thing anyone would miss is dinner and clean clothes (and I don't think the boys care much if their clothes are clean....lol) They don't seem to even notice the mess surrounding them....wonder if that is a male thing?????

Guest Andrea Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends I truly believe it IS a male thing. And I know what you mean about a wet toilet seat. My boys are 8 and 12. And you are right, they don't notice when I go on strike. I think I will try to get rid of the extra junk too. Everyone will have just 2 pairs of pants, 2 prs. of socks, 3 or 4 shirts, and we'll start eating off paper plates!! THAT'S IT!!!! And I'll take off the toilet seat and hide it so I willl know where it is when I want to use it! Wanna hear somethin' funny? When we first got married I got tired of my husband leaving his dirty clothes everywhere. So, I started picking them up and putting in garbage bags. Eventually he ran out of clothes. One day he asked where all his clothes were and I just pointed to the bags. He got the hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends Umm...well my mom does alot of the housework but my sister and I do chores. I have to do either the kitchen or barn chores each month so if it is hunting season, well the family has to pitch in,lol. Everyone basically shares responsiblity except for sharing my homework responsiblity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dartonman Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends Well...this is an interesting post...considering I, the dad have been a stay at home parent for the last two years, while my wife the nurse loves her job.....I clean, make meals and do laundry, and I have been complimented by the ladies of the area on how clean my house is....and we have four sons, and yes, their aim is poor, and I clean with bleach...lol.............have a great day ladies........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends I would be thrilled if the toilet seat was up because that would keep it dry!!!! I really don't see why people have a fit about whether it is up or down, it only takes a fraction of the second to move it, what gets me is when they are obviously too lazy to lift it and even more lazy about their aim! I do have to agree that the women's restrooms are worse than the men's room, or at least they were when I had to clean them at my grandparent's campground. A lot of women don't like to sit when using public restrooms so things can get pretty gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtBowhunter Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends Shortly after I got married (about a year) I caught myself putting the seat up and thought "WHOOOOAAAA, when did I start doing that?" I'm tellin' ya, I think the girls get pulled aside in High School and are taught how to train men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends LOL, I always lift the seat, and put the seat and lid back down before I leave the bathroom. If not, the dogs think they have a self filling water bowl!!!!! I think women (and Al) just seem to notice a mess more than men do. I try telling my wife that its not that I don't care if something has dust on it...I just don't honestly notice. Just don't bother us as much.

MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends [ QUOTE ] . If not, the dogs think they have a self filling water bowl!!!!! [/ QUOTE ] Speaking of Dogs and Toilets, my dog Loves flushing our toilet. She jumps and paws the handle, its hillarious! Weve got to keep the bathroom door shut, or shell do it. Im not kidding! As for the toilet seat, i guess im lazy, I just aim for the hole, i dont even lift the seat. I dont make messes though, im clean, and accurate. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Re: Question for my huntin\' girlfriends You mean you guys just don't step off the back porch and "kill the weeds" ?? Sure saves on water for flushing and keeps the cats out of the rose bushes at the same time, LOL I am kidding ladies...........toilet seat up here, with 4 ladies in my house.........by the way, which is the right way for the toilet paper to come off the roll.......I say off the bottom....
