Domestic Points

I'm not entirely sure where the concept of "domestic points" began.  I inherited the philosophy upon moving into my current apartment.  I believe it was conceived one late evening, along with the idea of a Domestic Resume you can just hand your future spouse, or any man you happen to be dating, so he knows what you're capable of...on the domestic front.

Basically we give ourselves domestic points for things that will help us be better homemakers...moving out of the college/apartment living status and on to much bigger venues.

If one of us vacuums the entire apartment, or cleans the microwave, we award domestic points.

If we make soup instead of macaroni and cheese, or a roast instead of hotdogs, we add more domestic points to our resume.

Essentially it's a list of things that we can cook, bake, create, clean, etc.

Though we've never actually written such a list down.

Nor do we really keep track of points.

Kind of like Whose Line Is It Anyway.

...the points don't matter...

but our future husbands will appreciate it nonetheless.
