" but what happenes if no one wants to" I have never waited around to see if anyone wanted to. (that would be a long wait.LOL...) If something had to be done I would do it . ( I did the same at work.) I like to come home to a clean home. where I can relax so I would do it for me... It's the same way with my daughter. She asks if I want to start cleaning and my response is that I never want to start cleaning, I just have to. And she just goes on and cleans. I guess she she gets it. No one I have never met Likes to clean. We just like it when it is. LOL!!!But what happens if no one wants to, or is willing, to do things like clean the bathroom?
I have to admit. It would definitely become an issue (to me at least) if there were chores that needed to be done that neither of us wanted to do, but that he always left for me to do just because he was unwilling to do them.
Sorry, but I'm not getting married in order to be a maid (unless, of course, I somehow stayed at home all the time, but I personally don't see how couples can make it without two incomes these days, especially if kids are involved.)
My Ex preferred , stay at home mom, And I think everyone what that entails. (responsible for everything! LOL ) Wish I new now , what I didn'nt know then. As the saying goes... ( Like hind site is 20/20 and all that stuff... )With all the titles in the polls for various chores, it reminds of someone I used to know who had a stay-at-home mom.
She used to say, "Don't call me a Housewife--I'm a Domestic Engineer!", which I thought was pretty clever.![]()
???? Did'nt understand that even a little bit, What conversation are you following?Dogs we’ll just take turns each member can help dogs decide who to hang out with and sleep with too.

So you live with fish ??? huh, I think I saw a movie about that .. Yeah , I think it even won an academy award!I’m including the family package pets fishes etc.
If cooking is an expression of love, I have no love what so ever... LOL.I love a clean house, a clean car, a clean everything. I try to always put things away and keep things tidy so the need for cleaning is minimized, but I don't mind doing the cleaning either. I practically have cleaning down to a science. Sometimes I even detail my model car collection. I believe a clean space is energizing and helps keep one's mind organized, focused and positive. Of course things tend to get a little messy at times, but I try to keep messes to an absolute minimum.
As far chores, I'd expect her to clean up after herself (don't leave food out on the counter, dishes on the table, don't leave stuff laying around, etc.), and I'd like her to do some cooking.. although I would like to do a lot of the cooking myself. I enjoy watching cooking shows and I know how to prepare a few dishes. Cooking is really an expression of love.
I'd handle trimming trees and keeping the lawn looking nice and trimmed, but any gardening or planting is on her...
I'd also handle all the mechanic stuff (oil and spark plug changes, detailing, performance upgrades lol) . In fact, I'd want the garage to look like a meticulously clean workshop..

Luckily it's not the only expression of love.If cooking is an expression of love, I have no love what so ever... LOL.
Duly noted that this is said by the MARRIED lady in this conversation.chores? what are those?

So hmm... now we know why melita married him.
I take out the trash in my sleep.. It's like making coffee in the morning.( I am programmed). And I am still working on getting my daughters Gold fish from the fair home without dying along the way...Luckily it's not the only expression of love.
As far as taking out the trash, I would do it since I've never lived anywhere where i didn't have to do it. Why start now, right?I think my mind would explode from too much joy if I ever didn't have to take the trash out.
As far as pets... I've taken care of two dogs and a cat until they passed away and I miss them very much.If she wants any pets she will have to take care of them because I don't want anymore pets because it's too heartbreaking for me when they die. I do have two aquariums with tropical fish in them. I still get sad when one dies though. By the way, one of my fishes actually gave birth last weekend! Now there's like 20 baby fishes swimming around. I don't know what i'm going to do with them all. There's too many lol.
One thing I RARELY do, because I loathe it so much, is wash and wax my car.
When I say rarely wash my car, I mean about twice a year. At the car wash.
And when I say it about waxing my car...I think I've done it once since I bought it 7 years ago.
So, if and when I get married again, it's a chore that I will gladly relinquish.![]()
