(14,040 posts)to hear me talk about all the "chores" she made me do... which consisted of cleaning my room once a week. Yep, that was my "chore" and I thought her an ogre for it.
This guy explained what her chores are. If they took 5 hours a week, it's because she did them very slowly. Her chores were to sweep the kitchen and living room floors, wipe down the kitchen counter IF it's dirty, put the dishes in the dishwasher away, do HER own laundry and make HER bed. Her laundry is the most time consuming "chore" she has and I'm going to guess she does that one chore once a week. I would take her complaints about the chores with a grain of salt because tends are prone to exaggerate their circumstances--I think she didn't feel like doing the chores, I think she rather have sat around texting or "talking" on Facebook instead of spending a total of a half hour a day doing "chores."
I mean, seriously, if the few things she has been given to do tires her out so thoroughly, I think a doctor visit is in order because there's something obviously wrong with her health.
