Stapleton woman Sarah Burns left town for a three-day work trip two weeks ago. Like many successful, working Stapleton women, Sarah occasionally has to travel. \u201cIt\u2019s not too bad,\u201d said Burns. \u201cUsually, it\u2019s just one to two days, but every once in a while, I have to be gone for three to four days. I miss the kids, but with technology, I can at least see them and talk to them.\u201d When business women leave town, they have to trust their spouses to make sure everything gets done around the house. \u201cThere is so much going on with the kids,\u201d said Burns. \u201cSchool lunches, drop off and pick up, after school activities, breakfast and dinner, homework, housecleaning, and laundry, to name some of the things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n


With women traveling more and more, men are having to put down their beers, television remotes, and video game controllers to contribute to everything that needs to get done around the house. \u201cIt\u2019s not that men can\u2019t do the stuff, it\u2019s just the totality of it,\u201d said Shane Burns, Sarah\u2019s husband. \u201cI don\u2019t like the idea that men can\u2019t do anything, or that we\u2019re just a bunch of helpless dummies. That\u2019s simply not true. We just don\u2019t like to multi-task. So usually some things get done right, and other things just don\u2019t get started.\u201d According to a recent study published in People magazine, while the woman of the house is gone, less than one-fourth (23%) of shit gets done around the house. The study sited reasons such as lack of effort, knowledge, interest, and overall wherewithal from the man\u2019s perspective as main reasons for the drop-off in productivity to when the woman of the house is present. \u201cI really believe they are giving their best effort,\u201d said Sarah Burns. \u201cIt\u2019s not out of malice. A lot of times, a man may not even know what shit needs to get done, or why that shit needs to get done. We could one day get there, but we have a ways to go.\u201d
What gives Sarah hope is that while she was gone on her most recent work trip, Shane was able to get a record 33% of shit done. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d said Sarah. \u201cI was blown away. Usually about 20% of shit gets done, but he almost doubled his normal production when I am gone.\u201d The 33% of shit getting done in the Burns house while Sarah was gone is believed to be a record for all men getting shit done while their wife was out of town. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s not about the record,\u201d said Shane. \u201cIt\u2019s just about getting better every day.\u201d Shane is not exactly sure what he did to do so much better at getting shit done, but is planning on trying to rehash it and start a blog to help other households. \u201cIf husbands of women who travel for business can double their productivity in regards to shit getting done, well, the world is just going to be a better place.\u201d It most certainly will, Shane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
