Mum sends her husband fake texts pretending to be the landlord to make him do more chores – and is hailed a ‘visionary’

A CHEEKY mum has shared her genius “hack” for making her husband do more chores around the house.

Taking to Facebook Aussie mum Rebecca revealed that she regularly texts her hubby pretending to be the landlord to scare him into cleaning - and it works every time.

"I'm going to let you ladies in on the biggest secret of my life and also my best cleaning 'hack' if you have a husband like mine who is great but not very helpful around the house," Rebecca wrote in her post.

"I was at my wit's end and trying to get him to help mostly with yard jobs I struggle to do.

“I went and got a cheap mobile phone and saved the number under 'Landlord' so every time I want something done I text myself that they are coming to check, fix or need access to something so my hubby does the chore I want done."

Rebecca, who is a mum-of-four from Mount Isa, says she's been using this "hack" for three years now and it works a charm every time.
