Housework, am I alone?

No. I do as little as is humanly possible. I have never been remotely interested in housey things. We are comfortable and the house is reasonably clean and the garden neat. That'll do.

No you're most definitely not alone lincolnimp, I've never been a willing slave to the kitchen sink and won't be going to my grave wishing I'd done more housework. I find keeping the house tidy gives the impression of cleanliness and it's got to the point now that if I start cleaning DH asks who's coming as he knows a cleaning frenzy means visitors! Otherwise, I've got far more interesting things to do with my life, people to see, places to go, help to give etc

You are probably in the majority! Life is too short to be tied to a duster 😂

Definitely not alone. (I'm looking at the carpet now wondering if it could last another day or 2 before it needs vacuuming!)

You are not alone!

Am I alone in doing as little house work as possible---usually only when we are expecting visitors?
Toilets are obviously cleaned regularly, as are kitchen work surfaces /sinks and cooker. Regularly does mean when they need cleaning!!!

I just have far more interesting things to do with my life, as well as newly imposed Grandparent duties. Some of you may know why these duties are non negotiable .
