Sara Haines Asks Her Husband About Chores After Sex: 'He Got What He Wanted, I'm Gonna Get What I Want'

'The View' co-host once revealed she uses sex as a ploy to get her husband to put their kids to bed at night when she's exhausted

Sara Haines is opening up about a spicy quid-pro-quo she has with her husband Max Shifrin.

The co-moderator, 46, gave fans insight into some of her bedroom habits while discussing the biggest mistakes made after sex on Thursday's episode of The View.

While the panel chatted about a list of blunders people make "after the deed" by a group of sex experts, Haines admitted she frequently asks about "chores" around the house.

"So what happens is, sometimes when I recover, I think about all the things we still have to do," she explained, before joking about needing to recuperate from the "pure exhaustion of that primal act."

"I stop and I say, ‘Babe, did the plumber call today?’" she laughed. "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 her co-host Sunny Hostin asked why she doesn't wait until the next day, Haines replied with a firm, "Hell no, I may not see him the next day."

"We have three kids, we run in different directions. When I get him, I get him. He got what he wanted, I’m gonna get what I want. Did the plumber call?" she continued.

As Whoopi Goldberg asked how she would respond if he replied, "No, I'm right here," Haines answered with a sly smile. "Then we go for round 2, Whoopi!" she joked.

This isn't the first time the television personality has opened up about bargaining in her martial bed.

In September 2021, Haines — who shares sons Caleb Joseph,  Alec Richard, 5, and daughter Sandra Grace with Shifrin — joked about using sex as a ploy to get him to put their kids to bed at night when she's exhausted.

"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 with a laugh. "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.'"

Co-host Joy Behar said, "So you see it as a bartering system?"

"If that is what he needs, and this is what I need, I think it sounds like a perfect solution," responded Haines.
