Do you do chores around the house?

[Nicola]

Do you help about around the house or do you just sit back and let your parents do it?

I'm a bit lazy really and don't like doing it but I do occasionally wash the pots, or put them in the dishwasher and I hoovered up for my mother today. I don't like doing the polishing or anything like that but I always do my own washing.

What about you?

I have to my parents are big believers of the whole 'doing chores make you a well rounded person' concept!
I do the dishes every Monday - Friday (get weekends off whooo!), feed, let out, put away and clean the chicken, feed the cat and in the summer cut the grass when it's not raining.

I'd rather just sit back and let my parents do it because I'm lazy though

I normally wouldn't but sometimes, normally my room, I'll just randomly start tidying, and I've tidied up the whole downstairs once like proper hoovered and dusted everything because I was bored...
Normally I just wash dishes though

Yes I get treated like a slave, like last night for example I was locked in the kitchen all night. They said when they wake up in the morning they want EVERYTHING to be sparkling, I did a really good job.

I do both gardens daily, I water the plants around the house, change the guniea pigs, hoover the back living room and sometimes i'll clean my bathroom/hoover other parts of the house. Oh and by choice - i'm not forced.

I do some stuff. My dad made a rota (lol) and if my brothers dont follow it theres no point i do it as he'll just moan at us all and say we all do not do them.

I cut the acre of grass behind my house; that's fun!

Other than that, emptying the dish washer, vacuuming, bringing down the clothes hamper, cleaning my room and computer desk, occasionally giving our cats food! Fixing everyones computers (and oh dear god nobody around here is computer literate!) Lately cooking meals because of some family related issues.

In all honesty I could be doing a lot more. I think all of us on HxF sleep in beds, have running water, presumably electricity (hence the computers), and when I just take advantage of having all that and a nice home to live in without helping make things tick I just experience an overwhelming feeling of being spoiled.

Good idea for a thread, Nicki.

my only responsiblitly. is to keep my bedroom clean.. because my Step Dad believes we should have fun, and not do work. like mow the grass, rake the leaves or shovel snow, and my mom does the cleaning and dishes. so im let off pretty easy.

I do nothing tbh, my mum does it all! She offers to do it to keep her mind off things! I offer to help but she is always like no! I was my own pots though if i'm on my own for the weekend.

I do some stuff, like if the dishes need doing I'll do them, just stuff like that. I dont really do it on a daily basis, just when no one else has done it yet or if im really bored
