On Household Chores

 


Looking at the positive side of household chores, I don't mind cooking and lately baking is okay for me, how about you? Dusting, ironing and mending are another matter.

I'm such a former housewife – cooking, baking, cleaning. Of course my sweetheart helps me, but I do most of it *grin*

Honestly, I'm not any of us mend or iron anymore. I did manage to bake some blondies for someone over the weekend when it was so cold and it did make the house smell good, but I rarely bake anymore. & the ironing board is somewhere lost in the basement.

I LOOOOOVE the four letter works, BAKE and COOK!

From these words the ones I don't like are dust and diet. I'm ok with the others.

I never enjoyed cleaning house either-I think it is because growing up my Mom always had us cleaning-like really cleaning everything in the house a couple times a week

Bake and Cook are fine, but the rest...nah..

I love that we have a cleaning lady who comes once a month, Christine; we keep things neat and tidy in the interim, but I love not having to do mundane chores unless it's absolutely necessary. I do love the four-letter word, Bake. Blessings!

I don't mind running the vac or washing dishes. I don't like dusting and I only like cooking dinner when I'm making something I want to eat. But I love to bake; if only I could eat it without any weight or other side effects. But I do hate picking up from my husband, and I don't think he appreciates that I let him know it too. :)

My faves are watching K dramas.

I agree with her. I don't like any of it either.

I don't mind cleaning, baking or even dieting but dusting. OMGosh it seems I have to dust every 5 minutes here. If I were rich I would hire someone to come in just to dust everyday. LOL Have a nice day.

Cooking and baking are fun. Cleaning is fun when we don't do it every day. We clean together.

Funny, I'm not such a fan of those four letter words either...

I don't enjoy housework at all, but do like laundry.

Ironing is not my thing!

It sounds like we agree on the unpleasant tasks.

Cocinar , lavar platos y aspirar no me importan odio limpiar polvos y lavar la ropa.

Right there with you Christine :)

I don't bake or dust or iron or mend. The perks of being an octogenarian. 😊❤️

I doubt anyone love these four lettered words

I had to hare this with my husband! 😂

Art does most of the house cleaning. I'm baking fruitcake for him tomorrow. :-)

It's okay. Though been harder with my broken ankle lately. Small improvements everyday though. Christine I must confess, I don't own an iron! Dusting well it is a must. Cooking and baking are fun. Mending depends how hard it is! And diet, nope!!! Though I will need to lose weight so I don't put extra pressure on my ankle.

It's part of life, right? I usually loathe cooking, but lately I'm getting more creative, which is fun.
