If it Works on the Toddler.....

Now, I understand that as a part-time stay at home wife and mom there are responsibilities that I have to undertake.

This is not one of them on MY list.

Rich goes on business trip.

Rich comes home.

Rich puts suitcase in bedroom on the floor somewhere.

Suitcase sits in bedroom unpacked (except for the random toiletries he digs out, like his toothbrush)

Suitcase becomes very nice carpet weight. Won't have to vacuum that patch this week.

Amanda gets tired of suitcase sitting on floor for DAYS or even a week later, unpack it, put it away.

Wife has come up with a new plan. After request, ''Just get the clothes in the hamper'' has been forgotten.

If husband can take away toys from child for not picking up.....I will take away his clothes! Or refuse to wash them. Either way I think this is a win for me.

Ok, rant over.
