This is how I feel about unloading the dishwasher.
Oh, and for once in my life *I* would like to be the first person in the bathroom after I clean it.
Wait...one more thing. I'm the only female here with three males. I'm pretty darn stoked about the day toilet duties will belong to those with poor aim and not me!0 -
I actually enjoy vacuuming, but then, I get around to it so seldomly, it's almost like a treat. I have 3 kids, the oldest of whom is 6.
The endless tide of dishes is what gets me down. Somehow I can ignore the laundry, or tackle a ton of it over a few days, but the dishes are so constant. Just this week I started using a little plastic tub to collect the dirties in the sink, instead of having them stacked and sprawled all over the countertops. Voila! Not a perfect solution, but it frees up enough counter space that I can procrastinate washing dishes a little bit and not feel like I'm drowning in dirty dishes. I might upgrade to a full-sized bus tub at some point, but for now, this is working fairly well. And my older kids like to dump their dishes in the bus tub. Hooray for novelty, anyway!0 -
The motion needed to operate a vacuum leaves me in terrible pain. So, I was actually told by my doctor to avoid that chore! So, it's on my son's chore list. Hey, it helps when it's a doctor's order!0

I lived with 4 females. Seat down was a given. Extra TP was a rule! The shower... we'll save that for another day.

I think the only good thing about housework is you can log it as exercise on MFP0

I hate all housework but I do it anyway. Bathrooms are the WORST!!!!! They probably don't get cleaned as often as they should. I used to clean house once a week, faithfully. Now, it's just whenever. The kitchen is the one room that stays pretty clean.0

Remember the saying: A house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy.
I have a very happy house!

Oh yeah. My husband likes to brag that he's the one who does all the vacuuming and toilets and other such "big" cleaning jobs... yet he doesn't realize that I actually don't have time for any of that because I'm too busy washing dishes several times a day and cleaning the stove and countertops well enough to turn around and dirty them up again by cooking again. The dishes are NE.VER.END.ING! *sigh*0
