Do you like help around the house or do you...

Me, when i do something i wanted to do it by myself,coz i can finish things done in speed than with other people around.

Are you offering to help? Just kidding! Yes, help would be wonderful. But very seldom to I get any help. Forget my husband getting up off the couch to help. He thinks because I am a SAHM that his only job is to go to work and bring home the paycheck. He thinks I have all the time in the world to do because I am always home. Then of course you have my kids ages 10, 4, and 3. My youngest are just now getting to the age that they are able to help me out with minor things (carrying the laundry, simple dusing, etc.). But more often than not I have to do whatever they do over again because they have missed some spots. So I might as well do it all myself. Then you have my oldest who is my stepson. Over at his mom's house he is not expected to lift a finger at all, so when he is over here its a fighting battle just to get him to clean his own room. Yet alone help me out. And for all of you that think "why doesn't your husband get him to help out" that would be a miracle if that happened. So in the end I guess I just have to do it all by myself until my youngest kids get just a little bit older.

I don't mind the help from time to time if its from my husband or son. I get annoyed when they don't offer to help, especially when I am moving furniture. If its from other family members I prefer to do the housework myself and not have them even bother. My husband knows I like our place a certain way and do some things a certain way so before he even attempts to help, he asks first LOL

Somehow this is an odd but understandable question for me. Well I just hauled (dragged?) that old huge fridge freezer that is twenty five years old out into the hall and cleaned it and behind the wall, too because tomorrow I will get my new smaller one delivered. Yes my dogs wanted to help. They were very much in my way thinking this was interesting. Tomorrow I will paint that wall and then I will put the new freezer in. I fixed the faucet. I installed the lights. I will have to oilpaint the door. There is nobody here who could ask if he could help. And I do not mind that I have no help. I am rather proud that I manage alone.

I will take all the help I can get. I really don't like housework that much. I think I'm going thru a -I'm just tired of doing it- stage. I could spend all day cleaning and then the next day the same things need to be done. It's a never ending job. But, my husband is really good at helping around here. My kids are pretty good at helping. And, my grandchildren love to help me do things.

Yes, I like help around the house, but very seldom get it voluntarily. My youngest is 18 and I still have to request things to be done, and they may get done several days later.

I live with my 74 year old mother and our 30 cats. I do EVERYTHING in the house that needs done! My mom (THINKS) she is doing a lot of it but the sad truth is, she is making a mess most of the time. Her vision isn't as good as it use to be and when ever she wipes down anything, I have to go behind her back and re-wipe it or re-mop it because she just sloshes it around and can't really see if it is clean or not. What really bugs me is when I mop the floors and they are sparkling clean and I go up to watch a little TV while they dry, if a cat vomits on the floor, my mom can't see it and steps in it and ends up dragging it all over my clean floors. What a mess! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother!

Well I like doing things myself as they get done the way I want. Unfortunately I am unwell and NEED help. It is a pain as my hubby works full time plus overtime and doesn't do much. My kids are tired of helping all the time. I do as much as I can and ask for help for the rest. I am happy to say that my kids are great when they go to other people's houses; they are very helpful.

Most of the time, I do household chores in our house by myself without the help of other members in our house.

Depends on the situations. Normally, I am glad that my young boys help so they can learn at the same times. But, in the occasion I am rushing to get things done fast especially in my small kitchen, I rather they leave me alone so I can finish the job fast.

I'd rather clean the house myself because I can clean even the corner of it. I get irritated when somebody is helping me because it only ruin my adrenalin. I clean only our house once a month because I have a helper, so to burn my excess fat, i choose to clean it by myself and I have standards too so I get upset when they not meet it. And my husband thinks that I should clean it alone, so I can't nag and yell.LOL

I do. Whenever I am free, I definatly help.
