What one thing, if eradicated from your life, would make it all easier?

[JMSA]

Laundry.
It never fucking ends. It's just the sheer volume of it and the dread at putting it all away once dry.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about one day living on my own, is having only one lot of washing to do.
What about you?

The cats. The cat hair is every and I hate it. Plus laundry.

If I won the lottery the first thing I would.do is hire a housekeeper.

Other people.

My mortgage. If I didn't have a mortgage I could quit my awful job, then everything else I would have time for.

Going to the office. Worked full time remote for four years, suddenly want us in min 2 days. That’s an extra 8 hours of commute and childcare added to my week then for ‘collaboration and team culture 🙄’. I expect my migraines will make a come back from the additional tiredness and time spent in an overlit, noisy hell hole.

Deciding what to eat and making it every single day.

My mortgage...........

Fair point! Ok, then I'd eradicate attached housing. Detached homes for everybody!

Whatever the root cause of my fibromyalgia is. After that.... cleaning.

Cancer

Also noticeable during lockdown! The never-ending meals to plan and cook during lockdown!!!

Autism.

That I do understand and agree with you.

Yes
My dh tries to ask in different ways as if it will sneak under my 'pester' radar 😂

"What were you thinking of having for dinner tonight...?"
"What do we all fancy for dinner?"
"What have we got in for dinner?"

My favourite..
"Let's have takeaway tonight " 😄

Autoimmune disease. If that wasn’t in my life then everything I do would be easier, quicker and pain-free; DH’s dad would stop constantly wanging on about his and wouldn’t be able to use it as an excuse for his shit behaviour; and my mum would be healthier and happier. And I wouldn’t have the worry of my kids developing them either.

Grief.
I lost my beloved gran last year and I am still finding it hard. Mainly as I am still so bitter and angry at family a) for not being there for her and dumping the work on me and my mum, and b) for their tetchiness and dismissiveness when she died, this robbing me of that early grief when I was at the most vulnerable moment of my life.

Type 1 Diabetes.

Food. Imagine if we could just 'plug in' and recharge overnight, good to go the next day.

No thinking about what to cook/serve. No shopping, prepping, cooking. No one moaning about what's for tea. Can't over/under eat so no weight problems ever.

Make me prime minister!

My kid's father.

The misery and stress he brings to my life and theirs'.

ILLNESS

If we all had perfect health all the time everything else would be perfect!

Supermarket shopping

Image the impact on the environment! Would be incredible.

So many of this I can relate to. For me;

Autism (ds), it colours every decision, every activity and means I rarely sleep a full night and after 10 years I'm exhausted. Knowing it will likely not stop til I die is exhausting.

Food. Left to my own devices I'd eat nothing for breakfast except coffee, greek yoghurt and fruit for lunch and a ham sandwich for dinner ad nauseum. But no, due to having a family, I need meal planning, shopping , chopping, frying, baking. It's tedious and never ending.

Laundry doesn't bother me because I have a washing machine and dryer.
I once lived somewhere without these and now pat them both each time I use them.

Ex husband and all his bloody family

Can you gain some comfort from the fact that you were the one to be there for your Gran when the others let her down. You never have to look back and wish you'd done more, because you did do more, and nobody can take that away from you,
