If your husband, sons, SO is left alone

Would they wash sheets, scrub garbage cans, the shower as you do.

Mine would not, he would wash his clothes and dishes. The rest would be left go for months.

Yes, my hubz is a pretty tidy fellow He's actually a much better cook than I am, as well.

He is rarely home alone. But if he gets home from work before me, he takes a shower and watches tv. LOL

Edit: I didn't realize we were gone forever. I thought it was just for the day or so. LOL

I don't know what he'd do. Probably get remarried right away so he didn't have to deal with it. Lots of men do that! LOL

Yes. My husband and his siblings were brought up to clean, cook, wash clothes,etc. he is probably better at it than me.

My husband had a wonderful mom who taught him how to do laundry, clean and vacuum. He even can whip up a wonderful meal. All of it came in handy when I was sick last year for a few months with a heart issue. He's a real keeper and I am blessed to have him in my life.

Edited to add ....my son just told me at Christmas he hired a cleaning service to clean his place every other week. So he's aware of when things need to be cleaned. He sends his laundry out weekly..

The one area I do give my late MIL credit for, is that she taught her oldest sons basic household skills. My husband is no stranger to doing laundry, cooking and cleaning, and most definitely would not be living in a dirty house if he lived alone.

Yes they would.

However, if you are not around to see how they lived, I don't see how it would matter to you?

My youngest son lives alone in a huge house. It is spotless. He told me recently that he dusted the tops of his door frames and woodwork and he was surprised how dustless his house is compared to ours. Our home is very dusty and it drives me crazy. Every morning the first thing I do is clean my black appliances because they are dusty.

My husband would clean too and often does. He has a bad habit of putting things away just so the house looks straightened up. If there is a space in a cupboard or closet, he will put anything in there just to put it away. The house would be very clean and tidy looking as long as you didn't open any closets up.

My oldest son is married and he does most of the cooking and cleaning. His house is spotless too.

My daughter is sloppy and clutters everything. She knows how and knows she should, but she has never cared to keep things looking neat and clean. Her husband is no better. I don't live at her house, so I just overlook it.

Oh, I misunderstood the question. I didn't realize we would be dead. LOL I thought the question mean you were going to be gone for the DAY, not forever.

I guess I need to change my answer.
