Do you think of chores as repetitive, time-consuming, not satisfying, or simply boring?

Well, you need to erm, “clean”, that attitude. (Sorry — Dad humor)

If that’s the case, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Most of us wash the dishes, do laundry, and clean EVERY week.

For some reason — couples decide to tag a specific chore to a person.

*Guilty.*

Chores are so bad that gender roles are conveniently added to the mix.

Or you have past trauma from chores.

I’m personally scarred from my childhood. My mom is a master gardener, and she had what felt like 200 indoor plants.

If you have experience with indoor plants, you are aware that they require daily watering and sufficient sunlight.

Guess who had that lovely responsibility?

The master gardener’s apprentice.

Okay, okay.

For those of you who enjoy chores. Why are you here?

I’m speaking to the couples that dread it.

Is that you?

Perfect.
