The Men in Her Home Refused to Help Out
A woman had constantly begged her husband to help her with the many chores around the house. Unfortunately, no matter how much she asked, he always did the bare minimum.
For the mom, her teenage son, Tim, took after her husband. He not only refused to do chores, but he expected his sister, Rachel, to look after him and clean up his messes.
“Hubby is enabling him and secretly overrules me when I punish Tim,” she explained. They’ve had far too many arguments about their laziness but it never led to any change.

The Last Straw
A couple of days before Christmas, the woman went shopping with her daughter Rachel. During the trip, she met a co-worker and her boyfriend and decided to invite them to their home.
The woman called her husband to say he and Tim needed to clean the house because guests would be coming. Almost two hours later, they came home to a messy house.
“I never felt so embarrassed in my life,” the woman admitted. Her friend smiled and shrugged it off, but the woman was able to see the looks her friend gave her boyfriend.
