What Would Happen If Mom Went On A Cleaning Strike?

Ever wonder what would happen if the person who usually does most of the chores at home suddenly stopped doing them?

How long would it take them to notice? And how long would it take for them to pitch in and start cleaning?

A woman who goes by Miss Potkin got really tired of cleaning and everything else for her family, so she went on a cleaning strike.

She chronicled her experiment on Twitter. At one point she referred to her home as looking somewhat post-apocalyptic.

The dishes piled up; her husband just used the baby spoon.

The laundry piled up. And they ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom.

But then, after a few days and a lot of comments on Twitter (not all of them positive by any means), she noticed her husband starting to scrape dried food off the dishes.

It had begun.
