This was the original document compiled and distributed on the original Voat.

But, she tends to get criticized for not falling in line with the holocough from her “friends” who seem to think I, as her husband, am forcing her to not wear a mask or get vaxxed.

I said to her I thought it was rude that they would think she can't even think for her self, she replied "what is wrong with me just wanting to follow my husband anyway?"

A copy and paste of a list I found on the interwebs:

1. Throw back the covers and let your bed air out.
2. Open up the blinds and windows.
3. After breakfast clean up the kitchen and eating area.
4. Gather a basket for tidying. As you tidy the home, pick up items that don’t belong in that room and add them to your basket. When you enter a new room place the items from the basket that belong in that room where they go.
5. Straighten up the living areas, pick up clutter, lightly dust, straighten pillows, and water plants.
6. Make the beds.
7. Tidy the bedroom, including a light dusting.
8. Hang up any clothes that may be about or ensure dirty ones are in the hamper.
9. Do a light tidying of the bathroom including removing and replacing used towels, refilling toilet paper and soap (as needed), and cleaning the sink area including soap dishes.
10. Wipe down kitchen work surfaces and inside the fridge and discard any old food.
11. Dispose of garbage from around the home.
12. Rinse dishcloths and hang them to dry.
13. Sweep or mop the kitchen floor.
14. Handle weekly chores that need to be done that day. (See examples below)
15. Set the table for dinner.
16. Arrange the living room for evening enjoyment with the family.
17. Do a quick sweep of the floors and ensure the entranceways are clear.
18. Clean up the eating areas after dinner and ensure all dishes are washed.
19. Set the table for breakfast.


Once a Week Chores
• Use metal polish on bathroom fixtures.
• Clean and disinfect all kitchen appliances.
• Scald and disinfect bread boxes, garbage pails, and bins.
• Replace flowers with fresh bouquets.
• Laundry (including bedding).
• Vacuuming and mopping.


Pretty standard stuff honestly.

Once-a-week chores:

• Use metal polish on bathroom fixtures
• Clean and disinfect all kitchen appliances
• Scald and disinfect bread boxes and garbage pails and bins
• Replace flowers with fresh bouquets

In addition, laundry should be done at least twice a week (including bedding) and floors should be mopped / vacuumed on a similar schedule.

There is also a recommendation in there to try to squeeze a 10 – 30 minute nap in the afternoon (if not because you’re actually tired but to “look more refreshed” for your man when he gets home).

Cleaning products should include baking soda, vinegar, lemon, castile soap and borax – not to mention a good deal of elbow grease. Use things like cheese cloth, rags and old newspapers instead of paper towels.

A husband shouldn’t expect to be waited on hand and foot. He is fully capable of putting away his coat when he arrives home, fetching and putting away the objects he uses and properly hanging and / or putting his clothes away after undressing. Extras like helping with the dishes after dinner are considered "courteous contributions."

Affordable method for making your own laundry detergent. The comment about making a powdered version is excellent but the lady who wrote it doesn't know about paragraphs so read at your own discretion. :)

The same commenter does say if you go with the liquid version the woman in the video demonstrates, use less water for a cleaner and better-smelling wash.

You don't have to buy expensive sheet sets like Porthault of course but getting cotton or linen ones and a proper duvet or wool blankets and/or cotton patchwork quilts will do wonders.

Tips not mentioned in this video:

Vacuum around your bed more often as well for better sleep.

A trick I learned to freshen your mattress a couple of times a year is sprinkling about a cup of baking soda on a stripped mattress (on laundry day of course) and let it sit for as long as your laundry is going. The goal is for the powder to soak up/neutralize any odors on the fabric. When it's time to make the bed, vacuum up the soda and also vacuum the sides of the mattress (paying attention to all the seams where dust settles in). Vacuuming your mattress every now and then will help in the meantime.

Open your windows for a few minutes each morning (even in winter) to allow fresh air into your home too.
