My Husband Getting Ready for Company

[@MarshaBenne]

Penn laughing in the whole video is the best

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

He's a good sport.

[@leslierusgrove164]

He knows how true it is so he can't protest, just laugh.

[@SugarandSarcasm]

The laugh track definitely got me

[@danielleandrist2742]

As an adult with ADHD, I related way too much with this video. I’m also getting ready for Thanksgiving company and so far I have deep organized our junk drawer, cleaned under the kitchen sink, and organized the pantry. The important things. Have I mopped? Dusted? Cleaned the toilet? Nope. I meant to yesterday and ended up in the pantry 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

I am getting ready for company too and I’ve decluttered the cupboards behind our bar, our game shelves and washed blankets!

[@CheriJ11]

When I was expecting two friends who were staying for 5 days, I individually hand washed each shower curtain hook, yet neglected to sweep or wash the floors!

[@catistokes]

Me too!

[@patriciaburger8138]

OMG! All these years I thought I was the only wife experiencing this kind of ‘help’ from her husband when prepping for guests😂 My husband is always so proud that the lawn looks great, or the cars are washed, or the basement is clean, or he finally glued that thing he had been meaning to glue forever…you know, all the important things that guests really care about when coming for a holiday dinner! You guys are hilarious! Have a great Thanksgiving!

[@BobbiGail]

Let's remember the once-a-year PinSol floor cleaning so the house smells like medicine and he can say he mopped the floor! I have to hide the chemicals when we have guests scheduled to come over.

[@keepinitreal938]

Lol truth

[@plantyfan]

I can hear Penn's voice saying all that 😂😂😂

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

He probably has at one point or another.

[@SantosChronicles]

My oldest just got diagnosed this past year for ADHD. After 46 years, pretty much confirmed that I had it. Then I watched your videos, definitely got it. So cool how you humanize it and make it entertaining. Not always entertaining IRL 😂

[@jenniferbates2811]

This is very common, ADHD is hereditary. Also, 40% of women with ADHD also have PMDD. A couple of great books to read or listen to: "A Radical Guide For Women With ADHD" By. Dr. Sari Solden and Dr. Michelle Frank. "Your Brain's Not Broken" By. Dr. Tamara Rosier "Adhd 2.0" By. Dr. Edward M. Hallowell and Dr. John J. Ratey. 2 incredible KZbin channels: * How to ADHD * ADHD love You're not alone, I promise you. I'm 46 mom, and all 3 of my kids have ADHD. I myself have become an ADHD coach.

ADHD is a made up bullshit condition created to make you woke middle class losers feel better about being arseholes or that your kids are arseholes. Stop blaming an imaginary disease and sort yourself out ffs

[@bradleyboyer9979]

There is no such thing as ADHD. It's one of many invented "syndromes" that the pharmaceutical-industrial complex has invented to sell more drugs to people who don't need them. Human beings are all very different. We all have different brains. That is a good thing. Not being able to sit and do mundane tasks for hours on end is not "abnormal." In fact, it's totally normal. People who CAN are abnormal. Everyone in the world thinks they have ADHD. It is ridiculous and bad for society.

[@kalishaffer8210]

I love Kim doing this for once. Penn is epic great at it but he does it all the time. Shine Kim, you rocked it.

[@bethallen4427]

My husband doesn’t have ADHD but I totally relate to the way he prioritizes what needs to be done before company is coming. We were having a 90th birthday at our house with 75 guest coming over and he decided it was the perfect time to clean out the gutters an HOUR before the party. Your videos are awesome! They’re funny because they’re true!

[@lisasharf1442]

Love hearing Penn chuckling in the background. 😂

[@andrea-rq1fe]

100% my husband. We have ten minutes before someone arrives, must do a quick run through of the important areas… walk in to see my husband organizing mittens or moving all the furniture to clean under them

[@bean9619]

Omg “organizing the mittens” had me belly laughing! 🤣

[@robinmoore446]

Oh man, my husband will choose the dumbest projects when we clean up. Ok, I kind of do too. Why is that? I always avoid what is most needed now. So funny Kim😂

[@Kate-oz2hf]

My parents came over for an early Thanksgiving yesterday and I cleaned our trash cans. Not just taking out the trash, but actually wiping down the inside and outside of the trash cans. In my defense, I had already done most of the important cleaning. 😄

[@tweetthang96]

Hey that’s a thing a lot of people don’t do often enough but that really helps cut down on sudden/surprise smells

[@Rosie_C]

Hosting is a wonderful motivation to do extra cleaning like that!

[@KatieJane31]

Thought I was the only one who did that haha.

[@cooperminion825]

We need to see Penn doing Kim getting ready for company

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It would be me cleaning out closets mostly.

[@cooperminion825]

@@holdernessfamilylaughs still worth the watch

[@daycaremom13]

I thought my husband was the only one who cleaned weird stuff when his family was about to visit! All of a sudden he’d make the bed, which we don’t usually do since we’re lazy that way, as if his family would be coming upstairs to inspect, or he’d clean the garage. I was always left to do the stuff his family would see, like the bathroom, the kitchen, the main living area!

[@candacelaska5151]

My husband did a beautiful job on our sizable yard..but going down the rabbit hole of trimming every little thing when we're expecting people in a couple of hours! I used to tease him about precision gardening with dental tools!

[@angelaporto5753]

L😂L!!!

[@maurifreedle5141]

I don't think this is an ADHD thing. I think it's a husband thing. I'm glad to see this happens in other families besides mine.

[@bethanyg1029]

I agree! 😂

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

Everyone does it to some extent. If it interferes with your life, that is the definition of a disorder and one disorder commonly associated with these symptoms is ADHD. As someone with ADHD I can tell you that while many people do these things... not anywhere close to the same amount or with the same level of anxiety and panic.

[@juliazalewski3023]

It’s definitely an ADHD thing.

[@ruthh4394]

No, when we had potential buyers coming to look at our house, my husband would organize his tools in the basement workshop. I was in charge of the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, entry, and our baby. And our cats.

[@carriepulice0621]

My dad mops the garage floor when company comes 😂

[@Judy-dq6kl]

This is no lie. This is exactly what my husband does when I need him to help me right before company comes over!! And I literally want to cry. There is no use trying to redirect.....

[@TrInc-sh3kn]

You forgot when the company pulls up in the driveway it's time to take a shower, leaving you running around with the last minute touches while you patiently entertain your guests!!!! That's my favorite one of all...

[@candacelaska5151]

I have ADHD so I dislike when people show up early or, god forbid, ON TIME! I warn them if they come early i'll put them to work! 😅

[@geauxherd762]

I was wondering when we’d see the box of cords again 😂

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It's always around...

[@denakittelson]

1000% relatable! Must be why my mother in law lovingly “shared” this to my Messenger page 2 days ago. Perhaps she recognized me here😉 …It’s EVERY SINGLE TIME our family comes to stay with us…no matter how many weeks or months in advance I know about their planned visit. I’d call the last minute energy rush a super power…IF my energy could just be targeted for the areas everyone else would deem priority prep for incoming guests.

[@hariseldon2450]

Leaf blower for cleaning the car is an excellent idea!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Faster than vacuuming.

[@lisasharf1442]

[@JenniferMaxwell-w7f]

My husband marched into the kitchen the first year we were together, it was Christmas Eve and we had guests coming in an hour, I was trying to get diner ready and he walked in with all his tools and began to tear the kitchen APART without saying anything to me.....he has gotten MUCH better over the years...he knows he needs to check with me before beginning construction projects!

[@candacelaska5151]

😮

[@justnerdystuff]

I'm in my mid 60's and just now in the process of being formally diagnosed with ADHD (going through the process) so I still have all the how-to ADHD classes to do (so far, just watching ADHD how-to videos on KZbin) I am ecstatic every time I actually get a project completely done - like having an empty dishless sink, or empty laundry baskets and no clothes on the bed or couch. I recently (July 23) moved and am still only halfway unpacked. It feels so good to empty a complete box with the items where their new spot is. I honestly don't know how anybody with ADHD keeps their house clean.

[@claudiamiller7730]

Hey, Kim…forget that “baby rocker” stuff…. My very comfy, beautifully made, still in perfect condition baby rocker was looked on like it was a piece of actual DS when I FINALLY offered it to son & wife, on the birth of Baby One. “Um…yeah…NO!!!” was what I believe there response was. Habitat for Humanity got it the next day and then I bought myself a Coach purse.💕

[@ugotmichelle]

Totally a dad thing. My father decided on Thanksgiving/Christmas day to do the following. 1. Fix the toilet by removing said toilet (the only one in the house) with 20 people expected for the day. 2.Burn leaves (this is the country) by creating 15 piles of leaves in the driveway, lighting them on fire, leaving no one a spot to park their cars. 3. Clean the porch by repainting it so no one could use that entrance/exit. That was our main way to get into the house. We had to move the Christmas tree from in front of our only other door. Happy Holidays to everyone!!!!

[@candacelaska5151]

THAT sounds a passive-aggressive way to insure that the company doesn't stay long and doesn't come again! My dad probably did that kind of thing when the inlaws were due.

[@pattijohnson997]

Such reality with fantastic humor.

No joke: yesterday I pulled out half the pantry and reorganized with a new shelf. Today I have my kids vacuum and clean the toilet. Because life skilss, amiright?

[@LWilkes]

I thought it was just me! True story - We had been living in a new house in a new state for about two weeks and my family (parents and two sisters) were come to stay for the weekend. My husband said not to worry, he'd do most of the work to get ready for the company. He disappeared and I found him vacuuming the storage space under the basement stairs.

[@amyhull754]

Well...because you have to put all that extra Stuff From Moving into the storage space under the stairs, and before you put stuff into it, you have to vacuum it because once the stuff is in there, who KNOWS when the stuff will ever come OUT again, and so it'll NEVER get vacuumed if you don't do it BEFORE the stuff originally goes INTO the storage space!

[@jeannemcnabney5376]

I look forward to these; fortunately my husband also finds it amusing. Especially since we've both spent the last two weekends redoing the floor trim in the hallway, painting upstairs and cleaning out the front hall closet, which to be fair, people need to use. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you, as always, for the laughs.

[@jackiede72]

So so fun and funny! I wish all married couples could laugh at our differences

[@PWeb89]

Except I’d find random stuff to take to a different room, which I would see needs to be cleaned to! So I’d start on that, but find a dish or something and go into the kitchen only to decide to do dishes and so on and so on! Pretty soon I’d have a bunch of half finished projects!! 😂 😂

[@jenniferstyczinski6874]

Some people here are commenting on how Kim is making fun of ADHD and I really do not agree. I feel that a lot of neurotypical people also get distracted while getting ready for a big event. Sometimes I will take on projects just to avoid doing the things that actually have to get done. Suddenly other things seem more important. It's weird. But I think it is a natural tendency for a lot of people - especially if you have cool tools in the garage like pressure washers and leaf blowers.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

ADHD doesn't go away. There are treatments and strategies to handle it better, but there is no cure for it. If you had it growing up, you still do. If you don't have it now, you were misdiagnosed as a kid. My guess (total guess without knowing anything about you) is that you probably still have it, you've just gotten better at handling it.

[@bittersweetfamily]
