To ask what's a "chore" you never do?

[TheBoyWhoLostHisSocks]

Just wondering what chores, or jobs as we call them, you never do? Whether it's one nobody in your household does or one that is just someone else's job in your dynamic?

We never iron. All our clothes come straight out the wash and are folded or put on hangers and put away. I don't work and DP gets to wear jeans and a t shirt to work so we don't really have things that need to be ironed. We own an iron but it's sat in the same spot for over 6 months.

So what's a job you never do in your own home? Bins out? Dusting? Changing the bed sheets? Or am I just very relaxed about clothing?

I also never iron unless it badly needs doing which is rare. I've never ironed jeans and t shirts.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my aversion to ironing I specifically pick items when shopping based on how much ironing they need.

I don't do the laundry either or make the bed, that's DH's bag!

I hardly do any chores Never bins though.

Sorry X post!

even if I was just in jeans and a t-shirt I would feel like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards if I didn't iron them first

Nah. I live in east London. No-one irons. Ironing would imply you've made an effort when the name of the game is to look effortlessly stylish and have just thrown your outfit together without thinking (even though really you've spent 4 days on Instagram looking for ideas).

Lived in current flat for 4 years and I've never cleaned the windows even though it is ground floor.

We don't iron.
I don't put the buns out that's DH's job.

I don't pull the hair out of the plug hole [boak]

Ooh I don't mow the lawn or clean the oven either - DH does lawn & our cleaner does the oven.

Such slatterns!

I don’t ever clean or wash my car. Occasionally I will empty the rubbish from it, although there isn’t much of that.

Dc strip and remake all our beds.
DS and dh put the bins and recycling out every week.
Dd feeds the dog twice a day.
So I don’t do any of them.

I also don’t do the paperwork filing. Dh agreed that was his job when we got married and has kept to it!

Dusting, hardly ever. For most surfaces the cleaner does it. Nooks and corners I may do if they are blatantly cobwebby, but that's it.

I seldom do windows as I just seem to make them more smeared than ever!

Iron or mow the lawn.

@SmiledWithTheRisingSun I like to think of it as supporting the community when I farm out my oven cleaning and carpet cleaning

My DM never ironed (we were a big family) I never iron, I lived in a house with Dh and four sons. DS2 is very fussy and irons all his designer shirts.
One DIL enjoys ironing the other is like her MIL

Ironing
Iron only gets used for attaching iron-on nametags to things

Mow the lawn and clean the car

I don't make the bed except when changing sheets

I don't even "make it" when changing the sheets Just put the new mattress cover on and chuck the clean sheet on top (I don't use a duvet), done!

Making the bed. One of the most pointless wastes of time I've ever heard of!

I don't iron or clean windows. DH does the bins and helps when my back aches.

I do clean my doors though and I wipe over all the cupboard ones every couple of days.

Iron (funerals or weddings only)
Dust, mop floors, clean bathrooms (cleaner) though I do chuck some bleach at toilets in between cleans.
Bins (dh, my disability means I just can't).
Cleaning out animals - I nag children but don't do it myself!

The washing. DH has always done it. Gets very cross if I go near his washing machine, to the point that I don’t know how to use it.

@Thehogfatherstolemycurry

Like you, I hate putting clean washing away. I put it in piles and take it to each person's bedroom and leave it in a pile on the drawers where it stays until it gets worn again.

Clean upstairs windows
Clean the car

Don't iron and don't own one (my DM irons socks and dish towels )

Don't make the bed- DP does it or it doesn't get done.

Don't do washing- DP criticised my washing regime and have left him to it ever since 😂

Don't clean the bath- (DP) have always hated it for some reason.

I was trying to think of something I don't do, and frankly struggling, I even do all the DIY.

Then I realised that I almost never make phone calls, that's DH's area of expertise, talking.
