Women Can Plunge The Toilet Too!

I know being a single parent is hard sometimes.  Some people had gender roles while married (man did the grosser jobs, like plunged clogged toilets and take out the trash) while women did a LOT more.  Not every household was like that, but mine was.  I seriously didn’t notice much difference in ‘my vs his’ jobs when my ex moved out.  Less stress, definitely!As for cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, grocery shopping, paying the bills, etc, I did it all, plus working.  Only thing I noticed was I had to bring the trash cans to the street.  I might be overexerting a tiny bit.  But not really.  It wasn’t a balance.  Some might be fine with that.  Either way, as a single parent, there is really no choice.  I’m the only adult here!

• Unclog them myself.
• Call my dad (yes, I still do that sometimes).
• Hire a plumber.

• A snake (easy to use but my dad paid about $100 for his).
• A plunger (takes elbow grease but often works).
• Liquid drainer.

 Roto-Rooter has more than one type of liquid plumber.  Two I have here are great for my household.  One to unclog drains with hair (happens often since I have long hair) and one that is a gel to clear blocked drains fast and is commercial strength.  I love that both are guaranteed to work or Roto-Rooter offers a money back guarantee.  I have a hair trap to catch my hair from going down the drain when I shower, but some still gets past the trap.  Having a clogged shower is a pain.  Once when it happened I called my dad.  It took him about an hour of snaking the drain to get the clog and the whole thing was a mess to clean up.  Next time I used Roto-Rooter by following the instructions and the shower drain was unclogged in no time and without a mess.
