I can't say that I love doing them..I do them when there are needs, but I don't overdo them more than what has to be done necessarily..

I would say that I quite like ironing stuff..somehow that has a relaxing/calming effect on me lol.. like when I'm ironing my suits, pants, skirts, whatever..smoothing out all those creases..it feels like as if I were removing all those wrinkles, or all stuff that caused some wrinkles(??)..ok, that doesn't quite make any sense.. so, rather, say -disturbances on my mind..inner peace (okay..well, I might not have that inner peace thing to begin with, but still..hope you guys get what I'm trying to say here..? :s) .. a therapeutic activity..of some sort

washing dishes is another house chore I'm quite happy to do..if I had a spouse and we were to share house chores..then I'd take up doing dishes..then he would cook.. (he gotta be a good cook 😆 I can't say I'm a good cook lol) .. I have a dish washer but rarely use it.. because somehow I like washing dishes manually lol

vacuuming is ok..sometimes I've no problem with, but some other times, I just really don't feel like to do it..so postpone it as long as I could..lol

and what else..can't think of right now.. (—?)

so yes.. do you like/enjoy house chores? or any certain type of them?
also, do you think it could be/or could not be said that (typical) gems like/or enjoy house chores?

and of course, men are welcome here, too 🙂

I can't stand anything domestic! Chores suck, and I would definitely hire a house cleaner if I could afford one.

The only chore I actually like to do is weeding. It seems to help me relax, as if I am clearing out my mind instead of just the weeds.

However, if there is the slightest possibility of company coming over, I turn into a cleaning machine. The thought of the house looking like a sty is much worse than my aversion to chores.
