Chores/Helping around the house - March 26th 2010, 05:24 PM

What do you do to help your family around the house?

Is your room always clean, always messy, or in between?


There is always hope. PM me anytime.

My room depends on how busy I am and if my back is hurting me.
Around the house I pick up. I put all the DVDs back and I do all the laundry. I don't do dishes because that is sooooo gross. I also clean the bathroom when it is needed.
I have no assigned chores.

My room is always tidy and I try to dust/vaccum once a week and change bedding once a week

I also do all my washing and ironing, and if I'm vaccuming my room I might as well do all the hallways upstairs
I clean the kitchen whenever I get in and it's messy, and if I cook dinner I'll always clean up after myself
Sporadically clean the bathroom when it needs doing
vaccum/wash the hall and clean/dust downstairs randomly when I can see it needs doing and I've not got much to do

If my mum asks me to do something I will do. I will also clean things that I see need doing. If I've got free time and there is ironing to do, I'll do it. Ditto cleaning the house/washing dishes. If I'm the first one home I'll cook dinner. I live in their house for free so I feel I should help out as much as I can.

I would expect anyone over the age of 14 to at least clean and tidy their own rooms, and do most of their washing/ironing
My sister is 17 and her room is always a tip, but my mum stopped cleaning up after her a good few years ago. She does all her own washing/ironing and does her share of cleaning around the house (just not her room!)

Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one.
It's fine to be proud of it.
But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.
And PLEASE don't try and shove it down my throat.

I keep my room spotless. I have really bad OCD about it. I change my sheets weekly.

I also do all of the laundry and clean the bathrooms in the house. I do the food shopping. I vacuum and dust the lower level as well and keep the kitchen clean.

Since I'm not working, I do the daily upkeep. My room, well, usually in-between, mostly because I'm unorganized. Everyday, I do things like dishes (dishwashers are GREAT!), tidy the kitchen, clean the litter box behind both cats (my sister feeds the cats), look after the dog during the day, and if extra things need to be done, like vacuuming, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning out the fridge, etc., I'll do those things. In return, my mom gives me some spending money to go out-of-town, go into town for coffee, etc.

Re: Chores/Helping around the house - March 26th 2010, 09:17 PM

My room can be a tip at times when I am really busy. My Mum doesn't clean it for me and I wouldn't expect her too. I don't mind if it is a mess and neither does my Mum as it is my room, we just close the door so you can't see it from the landing

I don't do my ironing as my Mum only works in the morning so she does the ironing in the afternoon. I do offer but she doesn't mind as there usually isn't much too do.

When I am off school on my free mornings or in the holidays, I put washing in the machine and hang it out if the weather is nice and also put dishes in the dishwasher. I hoover randomly too if it needs doing.
My Mum and Dad have an en-suite bathroom so the other bathroom is only used by me so I clean that.

Oh and I look after our dog, walking and feeding

I don't do much to help around the house, I probably should :-/ But when I do, I prefer to clean the bathroom more than any other room. I actually enjoy cleaning the sink and tub when I put myself to it...call me strange or not
My room is halfway clean. There's clothes on the floor here and there. Basically, it could be a whole lot messier but it could be a little bit cleaner! It's on the cleaner side, honestly.

My room is usually on the messy side of in-between lol.

Um, to help around the house I sometimes go around and clean up after my dog (she leaves a trail of destruction in her wake), sometimes sweep/dust the house/yard, sometimes feed the cats, always feed the dog.


Nothing in the world is
the way it ought to be.
It's harsh, and cruel.

But that's why there's us - champions.
Doesn't matter where we come from,
what we've done or suffered,
or even if we make a difference.

We live as though the
world is as it should be,
to show it what it can be.

My room is always clean. I always put things back things back as soon as I've used them. I'm very fussy.

I don't live with my family. I live in with my boyfriend and our roommate and thank god for them! I don't think I could replace them with new roommates. I'm completely a clean neat freak. I would be cleaning for hours,once I start cleaning I won't stop .Like honestly, one piece of tiny small crumb and I try to ignore it but FAILLL! , I have to clean it up or otherwise I won't be able to concentrate. My boyfriend thinks I have OCD and I'm always telling him that I'm not but deep down I think I really am I just don't want to admit it and have him laugh at me for it but he supports me no matter what. :]
