What would you say if your husband/partner asked you the same question ?
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding Into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'
She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?'
'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it..'

This is just a very Interesting and touching thing of how a wife responds to her husband by showing him in action as to what she does all day in the house.
Many don't know that what their partners do in the house and it becomes extremely difficult for them to express it in words as the others won't get convinced about their work.So what I would say is that it is better to show something in action rather than just expressing it in words or telling them.This is so true which is brought out by taking the above as an example! Its very easy to criticize others work or pains but its difficult to accept them in reality when its shown in action!
Appreciating each others work is important rather than questioning about their routine or doubting their presence.
Have a Nice Day

Start picking up. Have a long talk with the kids about their need to help their mother around the house-NO excuses, kiss my wife, tell her how terribly sorry I was for being so ignorant and insensitive, take her out to an expensive dinner and ask her to marry me all over again. If I was lucky enough for her to say "Yes", I would change my attitude and appreciate her for as long as we were together. I would tell her what a wonderful gift from God she was and love her like there was no tomorrow.

This is a normal routine in every family, if the husband goes out for work, then his partner/wife will have to do the daily Corie. And if wife / partner is a working women, then husband must do the same. But no one should criticise any one saying, " What in the world She / He do all day?" As everybody has his/her nature of work and has to finish that by Himself / herself. So one should respect others nature of work, what so ever of nature that may be and in case of possibility should also share that.

Well, today I didn't do it. I didn't clean up in the kitchen, or the house.
I took time off for myself, and now you can see all the work that needs to be done everyday. And if, I don't do it no one else will.
So do you see everything that I have to do to keep up with everyone and everything, finally!
The dog, the dishes, trash, kids, neighbour's, and the yard work. And then you get to come home, to my day.

I'd say," I thought I'd do some thing else today" ." Nothing". "Thinking maybe you would see what I have been doing all the other day's you asked me. Those days were really allot of work . With handling the house and kids. So today I did nothing...And you finally noticed......Now you see what I have done in those days I did do some thing, compared to my nothing day....
