How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

How To Get A Man To Caulk Your Shower

in Everyday on 04/03/12

Our shower was in a state of super yuck.  Twenty five year old house and a shower to match.  No matter how much bleach, Mr. Clean and foaming cleansers I used, I couldn’t get that sucker clean.  It was time to pull out the big guns.  Beg for help from the Hubby.

I couldn’t stand the shower anymore, and I was sick of making myself sick cleaning it!  Note to self, if after you are done cleaning your super yuck shower you are nauseous and dizzy, you may need more ventilation in your bathroom. 

So I put my “Get my shower cleaned up and re-caulked plan” into action. 

I dropped subtle hints.

I complained about our horrible bathroom.

I threatened to have the entire bathroom pulled out.

I asked for help.

I asked for suggestions.

I begged for help.

I stomped my feet.

I might have cried a little.

Then……..I offered sex.

Clean shower, new caulking, happy Wife, happy Hubby.

Problem solved.

New problem. 

I just pimped myself out for caulking. 

Yep, these are the true stories of a desperate housewife.

      No offence, but you’re just figuring this out NOW? Gesh, girl.

      Yuck! Anything that comes to cleaning out the shower I let fall into Josh’s hands. I get completely grossed out with the bathroom. I can clean up anything but for some reason the shower always grosses me out.

      As a man I just want you to know that I am appalled that you think we could be bought by the mere offering of sex…

      Of course our shower does not need calking, the yard is always mowed, the hedges are trimmed, the cars are washed, the laundry is always done.

      But I – and every other man who sits in front of the tube crushing beers and wings while watching the game – am stil the King of my Castle.

      What dear? Are you out of your mind? The game is on! It’s the championship game! No! I will be there when I get there!

      What dear? You really mean that? Okay,I will be right there, dear.

      Shut up, Charlie. No, I am not a doggie begging for my treat. I am the King of my Castle and don’t you forget it.

      Yes! I will get you a beer!

      Right after I take out the trash.

      That is so funny…I am having the same issues with my bathroom. So I guess I am going to have to take your advice if I want some results. Hmmm…maybe I’ll tell him that if the shower were caulked we could use it together more often!

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale.

All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
