Smarter than me. I hate cleaning the toilet and can’t find anyone else who will do it. But it’s so nice to see it shining back at you when you pee that it has to be done sometimes.
Some good replies coming in to this one now. I’m enjoying reading them. And it’s nice to see the likes of Nama going one step better. You go girl.
[quote=“Loretta”][quote=“mlpgd”]Noone’s perfect. I love:
Cooking
Scrubbing the bathroom (find the scrubbing therapeutic)
Gardening
Detest:
Ironing
Dusting
Vacumming
If I can find a SO who loves doing the stuff I detest, then I think we’re halfway there! [/quote]
You come and scrub my bathrooms, and bring your ironing. I actually don’t mind ironing. Cooking is usually fun, so we’ll be fighting over the kitchen, unless you volunteer to scrub it first. That’s waaaay overdue.[/quote]
Deal!
I am very fastidious when it comes to my bathroom. Nothing puts me off more than a bathroom that is icky - mine has to be spotless. Likewise, for kitchen as well. Can’t handle grease and grime stuck on the stove and kitchen counter. :raspberry:
I really also think it’s how you were brought up as a kid. My mom is a nurse in the ICU and my Dad is a scrub nurse in the OT/OR, you can only imagine how particular they were when it comes to cleaniless! Furthermore, both my parents worked full time, and it was split pretty equal between both of them and we kids were roped in early on to help out with the housework as well. Also, all my siblings & myself moved out of our parent’s home around 18/19 to go to uni and have not lived with them since. So, that pretty much explains my well trained background!

Man I don’t know about that one. HEHEHE, as it’s taken me about a few dozen apartments to actually get the concept of being clean. LOLOL And my mother was a real humdinger about being clean…

Hahaha… there are ALWAYS exception to the rule! I imagined that your mom picked on everyone being clean so much at home that it just put you off initially - a sign of rebellion perhaps?

Guess I’m just a wierdo then. I enjoy cleaning the house. It comes down to when we were kids. We had lots of pets and it was horrible to live in cat and dog fluff. The place had to be done regularly.
I do everything around the house, for a number of reasons. The main one being is that I get much more free time than my partner, and also I’m very very fussy about it being cleaned the right way…or should I say MY right way! She was on holiday for a month recently and cleaned up er…once. well that’s once a year.
Honestly, I do not mind. The choice is yours. I’d rather not see dirty footprints in the bath or hair clogging the sink, so I just do it. Going now to take the sheets out of the washer.
Once there was a bikerchick who lived with two roommates in an apartment with a tiny kitchen in the middle of Taipei. She was very tidy and enjoyed making her own food, though it was rarely spectacular. Her roommates, however, had such disgusting kitchen habits that she eventually swore off cooking rather than wade through their mess and wash the crap out of the used pans every time she wanted to eat.
Then she met a wonderful man who could whip up a brilliant curry in the blink of an eye. Within two days she had forgotten she ever knew how to cook.
I’m getting back into it, though. The curry was a success. And there’s okra on the stove right now.
I’ve been thinking about this topic. Do you think that our tidiness, or lack of it, is something that is inherited from or parents, or does it come from training, like me, at and early age, or is it something one learns, if they are so inclined?
(Wow, thats a long sentence.) Well, what d’ya think.
