Cute poll. But I can't vote. Here's the problem: I hardly cook any more; I don't do the housecleaning; my husband does the laundry. Someone else takes care of the lawn; the car place does the oil changing; fix-it stuff goes to a pretty anal and competent individual (same person who does the laundry). Yes, I sound spoiled. I would like a caterer on call, however, and free. Does that work?
I can't vote. Here's the problem: I hardly cook at all anymore. Someone else does the cleaning. My husband does the laundry. The lawn is taken care of by a company. The oil is changed at the car place. The fixit person (aka, above husband) is fairly anal and quite competent and broken things bother him more than me. Yes, I know I sound spoiled. I would, however, like a caterer on call and free. Does that work?
"The crazy thing about the assumption that future generations will keep adding hyphens and names is that it's built on the mindset that you must copy the family naming tradition.
For those who retain, the "naming tradition" is that you figure out what works for you as a couple, not that you take all the last names involved and hyphenate them.
Once you make the paradigm shift, the joke about infinitely long names seems kind of tired."
You don't mow the lawn and change oil every day, while cleaning-cooking-laundry is daily and endless!
ReplyDeletePrecisely. That's why I'm interested in finding out which group of tasks is more loathed. I, for instance, voted for no. 2.
ReplyDeleteI regard cooking differently. Sometimes I actually enjoy it. If I could, I would have a detailed discussion with the fairy.
