Okay, we all have to do it, unless we're lucky enough to hire someone else to do it. Housework. It's one of those neverending jobs. You wash dishes, and sure enough, somebody comes along and makes them dirty again. It'd be nice if you could scrub the bathroom once and it stayed clean forever after.
There are some household chores that I like more than others. I like cleaning the kitchen. It's a great time to meditate or fantasize or ponder the meaning of life. And the hot water keeps my hands warm. I don't mind doing the laundry because it doesn't take a whole lot of effrt. The machines do the work. But I hate dusting and vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom. Those jobs require too much energy, and muscle power that I don't have.
B doesn't do house work, as a rule. He does clean his own bathroom. (We have separate bathrooms.) He knew when we moved into this house that he would have to keep his bathroom clean; the doorway is too narrow for the wheelchair to fit through. And he does all the outside chores.
I think it might be time for me to consider getting a cleaning service to come in on a regular basis. And as ridiculous as it sounds, I feel like I need to straighten up around here before they come in to clean.
I was just curious if there's a division of labor in your household. Who does what?
