Wow! Hell must have frozen over, because i do believe my darling boyfriend is vaccuming!
That is sooooooooo nice!!!!!! I'm always the one who vaccumes, so this is a plesant suprise for me!
He definitely earned himself a NICE homemade dinner for tonight!
I had to brag on my man for a bit!

That is so sweet! I am lucky - my hubby does all of the vaccuuming - apparently I don't do a good enough job. No skin off my nose if he wants to do it!

So what will you cook for dinner?

Is he doing a good job? There are household things my guy will do but he does them so badly that I sometimes wonder if he is hoping I will say he shouldn't do them. LOL

i'm not sure yet!
i'll have to think of it in a little while. he will be at work tonight so i think i will cook something (perhaps beef stew one of his favorites) in the crock pot and let it cook overnight so that he has a really yummy lunch for tomorrow
I'm not sure yet though!

Yup he's doing a pretty good job
(he was in the Navy forever so he knows how to keep things clean) i did kindly show him that the attachments are better for getting underneath the counters/etc so once i did that he's been doing an awesome job
He's even vaccumming the furniture

Well so much for that!
Little snot vaccumed off the living room couch (one of them) and the recliner....and part of the kitchen (but he dropped a glass right afterwards and broke it everywhere so it needs to be done again) and then said, well i better get ready for work! And just left the vaccume out and everything!
So now i have to finish the entire house!
Thanks Colin! Next time i ought to 1/2 way cook his dinner

Or you could get halfway into *something else* and then say "well I have to go!"

Thats like my boyfriend. He does things so bad that I end up just having to do it all over again. I really think he does clean so bad hoping that I tell him he doesn't have to do any more cleaning.

Aww that's so sweet of him. Now that you know that he's capable of it, there's no excuse for him to not do it in the future!

it was sweet until he only did not even two rooms out of the entire house
but i guess i can't complaine toooo much...he usually is pretty good about helping around the house- he helps with dishes, does his own laundry, helps feeds the animals, and even helps bottle feed my kittens so he does help. It's just kind of hard though because i do the majority of the work around the house and i work full time and always have bottle baby kittens on hand so him doing a little more a little more often would be nice so even if he just did part of two rooms, that's two rooms less i have to do

This sounds like another thinly veiled disguise to bash males. I know the last poll showed we only make up 8% of The Cat Site, but I'll have you know only twenty minutes ago I was out vacuuming my Porsche. And further more, five years ago I vacuumed the house.

No hon, not men in genral- just my sweet Colin. You'd have to live here to know he never vaccumes
so it was shocking to see him get the vaccume cleaner out
Who knew he could change the vaccume bag
hey- you wanna come vaccume out my car while you're at it

Oh don't worry- i did not finish it. He started it, he's gonna finish it. So tonight at dinner i was like "so you left the vaccume out, would you like me to finish vaccuming for you, or would you like to finish it?" He said he would so i'm going to let him...because if it just "magically does itself" he won't appreciate it
So i did everything else- cleaned the kitchen, dishes, laundry, litter pans, all the animals food and water dishes, groomed everyone, cleaned the surfaces. And you know i left the vaccume cleaner right where he left it so he can finish it
