The View co-host Sara Haines admitted on The View this morning that sometimes she offers her husband a little X-rated incentive to take over bedtime duty with their three young children.
Haines, 44, shares five-year-old son Alec, two-year-old son Caleb, and three-year-old daughter Sandra with her husband, Max Shifrin — and with three youngsters running around, bedtime can be a particularly stressful time.
So recently, the TV host tried a creative tactic to get out of the chaos, offering to ‘pay him in other things, other currency.’
‘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.

The women of The View has been discussing a recent conversation between Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos.
Consuelos had said that the solution to any marital problem is ‘just have sex.’
Haines and the other co-hosts all joked that for men, sex was the answer to everything.
‘I’m happy, I have sex. I’m tired, I have sex. I’m depressed, I have sex. It’s kind of a one note thing,’ Haines said of men’s thought process.
‘It’s funny, because knowing how men and women are so — I’m painting with broad strokes here — different in how we think, there have been times where, this just happened the other day, where our bedtime is really raucous,’ she said.
‘There’s always one running and darting, and it’s such a physical job,’ she went on. ‘The physical up, down, we’re at our empty tanks.’

So recently, she made the sexual overture to her husband if he took over — and admits that it was a fully transactional moment.
‘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,”‘ she said.
Surprised, her co-host Joy Behar asked her, ‘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,’ Haines replied.
Haines, who wed her attorney husband in 2014, previously explained on Instagram that she had children so close in age because was in her late 30s when they got stated.
‘We wanted more, and I was older, so we didn’t have the luxury of time to catch our breath. We just stayed in the chaos,’ she said.
Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro were pulled off set live on air this morning because they had tested positive for COVID-19
Her admission on The View this morning came just moments before two of her co-hosts, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro, were pulled off set live on air because they had tested positive for COVID-19.
Hostin and Navarro were broadcasting live Friday morning from ABC’s New York City studios, where they were scheduled to sit down with Vice President Kamala Harris in her first daytime appearance as VP.
But the pair were dramatically ordered off set seconds before Harris walked out on stage, leaving producers scrambling.
An employee of The View was heard yelling at both Hostin and Navarro, ordering them out as co-hosts Behar and Haines remained on stage.
The show quickly cut to commercial, before Behar later explained that her co-stars had returned positive results from a last-minute test.
‘Sunny and Ana both apparently tested positive for COVID. No matter how hard we try, these things happen,’ Behar explained.

‘They probably have a breakthrough case and they will both be okay, I’m sure, because they are both vaccinated,’
A spokesperson from the Vice President’s Office told DailyMail.com that Harris ‘did not meet with the hosts prior to the interview.’
The interview with Harris was delayed, causing chaos on the show. Behar then began asking audience questions in a bid to kill time.

Her interview was supposed to take up a majority of the show, but was instead reduced to around 10 minutes.
Harris addressed the saga at the beginning of her chat, stating: ‘Sunny and Ana are strong women and I know they’re fine, but it really also does speak to the fact that they’re vaccinated and vaccines really make all the difference because otherwise we would be concerned about hospitalization and worse.’
