Hateful Housework
Wen tagged me the other day on this subject of housechores. What would be my most hateful housework of all?
I remember that my mom used to squat down and scrub every piece of clothing and then rinsed them off one by one by hand. I’m amazed that even now she still does it as she has the thinking that the washing machine does not do a good job at making the clothes clean.
Yet, here I am with so many modern appliances at my disposal and still I complain. Clothes are dumped into a washing machine and if I’m too lazy to hang them to dry, I can simply turn on the dryer. If I don’t feel like turning on the stove to cook, I resort to the microwave. I’m even contemplating buying a clothes steamer, so opening up an ironing board can be a thing of the past.
I don’t know, maybe as humans we are getting lazier and if all these appliances are taken away from me, I think I will go crazy as a stay-at-home mom.
Anyway, what I don’t particularly enjoy of all housechores is cooking. Cooking means I have to go to the supermarket and pick up a few things, wash, cut, marinate, boil, stew or do whatever that needs to be done on them before having to wash all the cooking utensils. If it is true that the key to a man’s heart is through his tummy, my husband would have been long gone by now!!
Luckily, my husband is not fussy and he eats whatever I dish out. But then, there is someone else who is complaining now… my 3-year-old son!!
