House cleaning dirty secret

My husband and I are retired. So we share the chores. He does the outside chores and I do the indoor. He always complains that he works hard. Mowing the lawn on a riding lawnmower, Haul the trash off, spray the weeds, ect ect. I do the inside chores. Laundry, clean and vacuum the floors, make the bed, clean bathroom. Dishes, dust . Ect ect. Now inside chores are everyday duties. The outside chores Maybe 3 hours of mowing a week and spraying the weeds once a month and trash every other day. Can you see my point ? Yes! I do way more then he does. He is also A outdoors guy, So he is outside a lot kicking back, watching the bird ect ect..So I came up with a great Idea. Since he doesn’t think I do A lot of chores. I decided to play a little game.

My dirty little secret. I do my chores every single day. but since he is outside most of the time. He doesn’t think I do much. So this is what I do. I would start a load of laundry or some chore I need to do, before he goes to town or outside. I would get the broom or vacuum cleaner out. Then I would take a break and kick back. When I hear him coming in, I would Jump up and turn on the vacuum or scrub the tub or whatever I need to do. I would say something like, I need a break or your back already. Now he thinks I been doing housework all that time. Of course I do a little so he thinks I did something while he was away. Like clean the dishes or throw in a load of laundry. And that my folks is The Dirty little house cleaning secret. Shhh don’t tell no one. He he 😀🍽
