dishes and laundry

hi there even at times i get very sick and tired of washing clothes and cleaning disheds.when i was with my parents i hardly used to wash dishes or wash clothes but now when i am not with my parents anymore i have to do these things all by mself and now i realize how frustrating it becomes sometimes to daily wash dishes and then in the end of the week you find that you have heap of clothes to put away for washing.at times i really think of using use and throw untensils but then how long can one afford to do this and same with the clothes but we just cannot keep throwing clothes after wearing them once so i guess there is just no option to escape from this work.i guess only one thing can be done that is to distribute the work with the ones whom you are staying with this might decrease the work load.this is what i do...it works sometimes

And you my friend have just explained why I hate, hate, hate doing housework of every kind. I do it, but get absolutely no satisfaction out of the job. I'm so glad it's summer time, because the kids are playing outside, so the house does stay a little bit cleaner than when they are couped up during the winter months. I actually have a friend who enjoys cleaning her house. She however has trained her son to keep his mess in his room and not spread it throughout the house. I'll have to ask her how she did that...

I do, I do, I do!! When I started this very consuming job, hubby SAID he would take care of the dishes and the bathroom. NOT. Never done a blessed thing in the bathroom, and seldom does the dishes. Even with only adults in the home it just keeps on going.

Well I think I would experience the saem if I were to have my own family, I understand how you would feel but kids are just kids and its just too hard for us at times to get it out of this situation at times. I suggest you to take a break by maybe having your meals in any nearby restaurants.

Yes you can add me to that list. Dishes are the worst. Always seem to have some to do. Laundry isn't as bad especially since I make my kids wear their clothes more than once (besides underwear and socks or clothes that are dirty). If they've been inside most of the day and haven't spilt anything on themselves then their clothes are suitable for wearing more than once. My mom used to do that when I was growing up-having us wear our clothes another day to keep the laundry from piling up so much. Still it piles up but it would be much worse if I had my kids throw their entire outfit into the laundry basket each and every day.

Im actually not sick of doing dishes and the laundry. Do i get lazy and not feel like doing them sometime? Yes! LOL. But its a part of my everyday thing to do so i dont get sick of it. I do dishes every single day and laundry every week. I'll never get a break from it unless i hire a maid. haha.

well, it sounds like the never ending storyand this job is really so annoying and insistent. And as you said, when ever the dishes are done, ore the laundry room is empty in a few min there is always something new to take care of. However, my thinking is, why must it be done right away, I can not spend my hole life doing those things....and why not have the kids helping out, after all, they are the once who make more of it than your self I gather. It is never to soon to teach them...

My kids are 15 and 17 and I guess when they move out is when I will finally get a break from those tasks. I can clean up and go to bed, but then it looks like a hurricane went through the kitchen when I get up. It's just a never ending cycle.

I feel your pain. I hate doing dishes and laundry. Fortunately my kids are all older and they can do their own laundry now. They also do the dishes in the evening after supper. However, we no longer have a dishwasher. All dishes have to be done by hand. In the past while I was cooking, after breakfast/lunch or whenever I could just rinse the dish and stick it in the dishwasher to be washed with the rest of the dirty dishes. Now with no dishwasher everything just piles up in the sink to be done by hand. Normally when I cook supper I try to wash up the dishes that were dirtied during the day. As far as washing the laundry goes. I don't mind the washing part or even hanging out the laundry but the folding and putting it away is what gets me. I am expecting in September so I will have much more laundry to do once the baby is born. Alas the saga begins again!

Yes!It is a tiresome unending job with washing clothes and dish cleaning.But one cannot avoid it.For a break,one day you can go for dinner to a restaurant thus relieving for the time being from dish cleaning.But it can't be continued again and again.So,we have to find some other ways.Just try this.Listen to some favorite music or songs while you clean the dishes or even watch some tv programs side by side.That will relieve your boredom.Cheers!

I know just what your talking about,mine are grown now but I raised three. My husband didn't do anything in the house or help take care of the kids. I worked a eight hour job and had to come home and cook, wash dishes and clean house. Most of the time I left the laundry until the weekend, so you can guess what I was doing all day on Saturday. Now that their grown my cores are easier, but all that stuff will never end, the only time it bothers me now is when one of my children comes to stay a few days and makes a big mess.

My work is never done I am constanly working. I have three jobs and try to take care of a house hold at the same time. I do laundry, dishes, dust and pick up all the time. Half the time I have no time for cooking anything. It is real hard too keep up with everything In today life. I feel like my whole life is revolved around work it is true a womens work is never done! That is the truth I slave myself everyday. I try to make everyone happy but sometimes it is just not possible with all the work I have to do. I completely understand the phrase a womens work is never done.

Yes I am and alot I wish that I had a magic wand so I would not have to be there for hours washing dishes or going landury. So far the only part good thing that my husband those with the dishes is that he will take a glass outside or on the car and he never returns them so now from 10 glasse I have 3 to wash. That is good since I do not have to be washing them all and he would actually have to wash a glass to drink the bad part is that when I have people over I have to serve them a drink in a cup.
