She’s using what she has to get what she wants.
The “View” co-host Sara Haines revealed that she uses sex to ask her husband, Max Shifrin, about chores that they need to do around the house.
“So, what happens is, sometimes when I recover, I think about all the things we still have to do,” she explained on the talk show Thursday as the panel discussed different mistakes people make “after the deed.”
Haines — who wed Shifrin in November 2014 — joked that she needed to, of course, recuperate from the “pure exhaustion of that primal act,” but that didn’t keep her mind from wondering about other things.
“I stop and I say, ‘Babe, did the plumber call today?'” she said while laughing.
“I need to wait a little longer. Which is why I look at my phone. Give him a full five minutes before I ask him a question.”
When Haines’ co-host Sunny Hostin asked why she didn’t wait until the next to bring the chores up to her husband, she replied, “Hell no, I may not see him the next day.”
“We have three kids, we run in different directions,” the “Chase” host explained.
“When I get him, I get him. He got what he wanted, I’m gonna get what I want! Did the plumber call?”
Haines has also been candid about her and the lawyer’s bedroom activities in the past.
In September 2021, Haines — who shares kids Alec, 7, Sandra, 5, and Caleb, 3, with Shifrin — quipped about using sex as a ploy to get her husband to put the kids to bed.
“I turned to Max and I just said, ‘I’m willing to have transactional deals with you if you can just put the kids to bed please,'” she said at the time, per People.
“That’s about how romantic the suggestion felt too: ‘I will pay you in other things, other currency, if you go ahead and put those kids to bed.'”
When her co-host Joy Behar asked if Haines saw their exchange as a “bartering system,” she responded, “If that is what he needs, and this is what I need, I think it sounds like a perfect solution.”
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
