I came up with this little gem this morning. Feel free to use it or change it as you wish!
Dear ___________ Family,
I hereby resign from the position of housewife – effective 12th April, 2011. As of today,
1. I will no longer pick up after anyone. Wherever you leave it is where it stays.
2. I will no longer be washing anyone’s dishes. If you can’t be bothered to rinse anything and put them in the dishwasher, they’ll stay in the sink.
3. I will no longer be in charge of dinner. DO NOT COME AND ASK ME WHAT WE’RE HAVING. Suggest something and then help make it.
4. If you are capable of getting yourselves anywhere - get yourselves there. I will no longer be picking up or dropping off if there is an alternative. i.e. if you start work between 7am and 5.30pm – you can get yourselves there. If you leave work between 7am and 5.30pm - find your own way home.
5. If you’re worried about getting to school on time – walk.
6. If you use the bathroom – clean up after yourselves. I will no longer be picking your clothes/towels up off the floor, cleaning water off the floor or toothpaste from the taps and mirror.
7. If you go to the toilet and dribble or make skid marks – clean it.
8. If you do your washing – hang it out. If you hang it out - bring it in.
9. If the bin is full – empty it.
10. If you want to turn this beautiful house into a doss-house - I will move out.
IN SHORT – THERE ARE FIVE CAPABLE INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THIS HOUSEHOLD. I AM NOT A MAID, CHEAUFFER, CLEANER OR CHEF. I LOVE YOU ALL.
