If you went on strike tomorrow....

If you went on strike tomorrow what's one thing that would stop happening at your house?




At our house nothing would be scrubbed. Sinks, toilets floors would be wiped off or swept but never deep cleaned.

[paddyb]

no dinner.

[laurski81]

The laundry would never get done. We would all walk around in dirty clothes, sleep in dirty sheets, have the same gross towels to dry off with day-after-day, etc...

[babywinks]

Not sure our bathrooms would ever get cleaned - not that I do it nearly often enough.

[paddyb]

I forgot: the laundry would also never get done

[summergirl1211]

Pretty much all of the cleaning- bathrooms especially. I don't even want to imagine how dirty they would be.

[heatherbee]

I'm pretty sure dinner would be McDonalds every night. Maybe Burger King once in awhile to mix it up.

[jennmm]

No dinner, no laundry, no good cleaning. I wouldn't want to live there.

[roo1582]

Definitely the cleaning - and the top of that list would be dusting and bathrooms.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

There would be no food in the house. I'm not sure H knows where the food comes from.

[tribute17]

Dishes. My H is good about laundry but he can leave dishes for weeks. He would just get paper products and throw them away.

[aylafsu1881]

No laundry. My H never does laundry. He also would not cook but my MIL would bring him food.

ETA: The mail would also pile up in the mailbox. For some reason he cannot stop at the mailbox to get it, even if he is playing with LO outside.

[pegleg715]

We would be out of gas..... And the mail would stay in the mailbox forever. Pretty sure the bills wouldn't get paid and that people would miss all appointments. But other than that nothing I guess. Ehhh

Same.  Eventually the kitchen would be picked up, but not cleaned.  He never seems to get the concept of wiping the counters, or cleaning the stove top, even if something spilled over.

Dinner (all meals) would also end up being super random (cereal, sandwiches) or take-out.

And it's very likely that anything medically related would not be taken care of (scheduling, payment, etc.) unless critical.

[xanthepants]

Counters would never be cleaned, dishes would pile up, appointments missed (or never set up),nothing would ever be dusted, our shower curtain would disintegrate from mildew, dinner would be a last minute decision ever day.

[lizwinderson]

The house would be filthy, and we would have no clean clothes. But we would have groceries and have cooked meals since DH does do that a lot.

[bliz1712]

Cooking meals and just overall picking up. H and V lack the ambition to put stuff away or walk the extra 2 feet to throw something away so I'm constantly picking up after them. I cook every meal unless we get something to go. If H was responsible for cooking it would be hot dogs, ramen, fish, or basically gross stuff every meal.

[junkytrunk]

There would be no groceries and every meal would be fast food or takeout.

Also, everyones schedules would get double booked because I am the schedular.

[cookiesandwine]

Meals would be chicken nuggets, frozen pizza, or fast food.

Laundry would be dirty. Or severely stained/color bled/shrunken.

[cbear]

Pretty much laundry and cleaning would not be done, especially bathrooms

[jfresh]

No dishes or laundry would get done. None.

[bantyrooster]

Everything would stop. No food, cleaning, laundry, bills....

[britbratjf]

No grocery shopping or cooking would get done. We would live on pizza. Also the sheets would never get changed.

[MissMusic]

Laundry, sweeping, dog care, kid getting dressed, bathrooms won't get cleaned, mail wouldn't go out, birthdays would be all "belated", appointments would be missed or not made, no playdates...

This.... my house would implode I'm absolutely sure of it.

But the damn grass would be mowed twice a week.

I know the grass would get done eventually but probably not often enough without my nagging or doing it myself. We might get tickets for the grass being too high OR on the front yard would be mowed!

Ohhh I forgot about the bills. Yeah those would not get paid. Exactly none of them.

[ThePinkSuperhero]

No cooking. Crackers would be eaten for every meal.

[somethingcleverer]

Also the fridge would never be cleaned out. Whatever nastiness in containers may eventually get tossed with the container that holds it but any spills, crumbs or nastiness on the shelves will just become part of the fridge.

[jodielyn10]

The mail would pile up in the mailbox, but all our bills are paid through bill pay, so basically the junk mail would be piled up in the mailbox.
