Bandit's House Husband Tips

As more and more women enter the workforce, it is becoming more common place for men to assume the primary care of the children. These brave men are called "House Husbands". As of 1990, 25% of all the primary care givers in the USA were men, and the number keeps growing.

Being a house husband myself I have discovered some tricks to help you through the piles and piles of housework that can easily be created with two small rugrats.

1) A vacuum cleaner can suck up ANY mess, with the proper attachments.

2) Windex and 409 can clean any surface.

3) It is possible to change the diaper of a little one who likes to squirm away by holding them down with your feet. Or as an alternative- entertain them with your feet. Toes make great puppets when properly decorated.

4) Never nap when the children are awake. You may never be the same again if you do.

5) It is possible to dry cloths in the microwave, though it is also possible to burn them this way.

6) It is also possible to wash cloths in the kitchen sink.

7) If you have corn to scald, it can be done easily in the dishwasher. Just set it on "Pots and Pans" and be prepared to clean out your drain. Saves hours of work.

8) The family dog makes an excellent living vacuum cleaner, and is usually more than willing to clean up any really messy accident that could occur around the home. Though no matter how much you may want them to, they will not eat Lucky Charms or Co-Co Krispies.

9) WD40 will take bubblegum off a TV screen.
