Magic Trick
"Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
I know how to make my family disappear, as if I were David Fucking Copperfield, but I don't need any fancy cover sheets, mirrors, or fireworks. It's done with magic words. Not Abbra Cadabra, no, nothing so mundane.
The magic words are, "I could really use some help with the housework today." Suddenly, the boy is in his room entranced with his XBox within seconds. The girl goes in her bedroom, and turns her music on so loud she could not possibly hear me. The husband mysteriously comes down with narcolepsy, and falls asleep on the couch- so deeply asleep that he snoozes through me banging nails into the walls, and slamming into the couch with a full laundry basket.
"No doubt about it... I gotta get another hat!"

You need to make housework fun, and nothing makes housework more fun than a Roomba!

Or get a Messican maid to help out with the work or something.
