Re: What frustrates you most about housework?

@Allegheny Of course you know that our own flaked-off dried skin is most of that dust?  Therefore, if we aren't there, there won't be as much dust.  So, I recommend taking lots of vacations so we won't make our "contributions" to the problem.  LOL!

 

I love a freshly cleaned house.  I also love spending hours sitting on my duff, knitting or reading.  I've trained myself to not be too fanatic about housework.  When my last breaths are coming, I don't think I'll regret not spending more time on housework.

I believe it's called "insitu" where abnormal cells are contained within the surface.  There but for the grace of God go I...

 

this is was back in 1984 and so far so good.  Have faith, all will be well...I'll be thinking about you and pray God blesses you with calm, peace and great recovery.


Much appreciated......

Re: What frustrates you most about housework?

We live on the beach...in ONE WORD...SAND! I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning house and it starts bright and early on Saturday morning. I function MUCH better if my husband will just leave for the day because when he tries to help I end up doing it over, the right and thorough way. We have a small place so clutter is my pet peeve. No matter how much I try to keep things put away and the house clean, I get no cooperation and help to keep it clean. That's ultimately my biggest frustration.

@Allegheny. I'm w/you.  It's the dust, which I just no longer seem to be able to keep up with.

He will go out to the garden and then walk through the house in the same shoes........spills a couple drops of ice tea on the counter, doesn't wipe it up......will have some fruit or a sandwhich and leaves the dishes wherever he eats......

 

After 40 years...I just learned to live with it.....LOL

Wow, such a comforting thought! LOL But with the amount of cream I purchase, it's probably very true here. I should weigh a lot less!! LOL
