No one likes doing chores. In happiness surveys, housework is ranked down there with commuting as activities that people enjoy the least. Maybe that's why figuring out who does which chores usually prompts, at best, tense discussion in a household and, at worst, outright fighting.

I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.

I think women - relative to men - tend to feel that they have to do the household chores on top of everything else. This becomes even worse once you have kids. It's enough to have a full time job; a full time job plus a family is even more.

There's nothing my housekeeper does that I can't do - and maybe better!

I don't do dishes, and I don't cook, either! Everything else, I can do!

As a farm girl, even when I was quite young, I had my 'farm chores' - but I had time also to be alone, to explore the fields, woods and creek side. And to read.

I get quite lazy about cooking because when I come back from work it is the last thing I want to do, really is spend loads of time cooking.

My favorite way of getting out of doing chores is by acting like I'm asleep. But it never works.

I still cook at home. A lot of chefs I think don't cook at home. But I still do, I love cooking at home, I love having friends.
