I'm a housewife: I spend far more time on housework than anything else.

Really, I don't like to do any household chores. There was a time when I loved to cook, but that was when I wasn't writing books.

Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

I really have to force myself to tidy up around the house.

I think basically I'm lazy, but I have a housewife's mentality when I go about my job.

Some of us don't want to be a housewife. When you live alone, you can do anything you want to do anytime you want. I really like it.

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 leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.
