Hi. I do and I don't. I do in my home. It's an obligation otherwise. Then I dont enjoy it but it has to get done. I hope you're having a good day.

I enjoy it sometimes but not always.My day has been fine thank you.
I hope you are well.
Yes, i love order but no i dont like to do it because soon as its done i can look back on the same clean counter and my plate will stick to what i just cleaned(thank you husband)....my solution is, i have one corner that noone else invades...when its a bad day i can see that one go...yip did good! more to life and it doesnt stop. Definition of cleaning? Recently my daughter who is a sweety saw me clean a dresser drawer on the bed..mom remember...if something happens i dont want your garbage...that pretty much said it for me and i sang..Let It Go! clean enough not to have critters.....how do you eat a 🦕...one bite at a time....
hell no... I get sucked up in details and forget about the big picture. My ears are sensitive clangy, jarring sounds so putting away dishes makes me cringe. It is a luxury but worth it to have someone come in every other week. Last year I spent a month in another country where my possessions fit in a suitcase and backpack. For a short time it was so nice not to have all that stuff to clean.
No one really likes to do it. You just do it so you have some neatness and order and your not living in complete chaos and mess!!!
I love to clean. Looks like I'm the odd man out. Lol
I do love the post

Why do you love to clean?
Dolphin14• in reply to
I find it peaceful and rewarding.
Me too👍 It’s so satisfying . If Im feeling down I give my oven a good clean and I always feel better afterward, and it’s a form of exercise .
I enjoyed cleaning recently, fellow odd ones.
I do know you get enjoyment out of it. We often compare notes lol
❤️🐬
I hate to clean. It’s repetitive and boring. I’d rather be out climbing trees and I’d pay someone in an instant to do it if I could. It’s like Sysiphus (?) and his boulder. But it’s a necessity and it feels so good when it’s over. Free at last!
A lady once said….I dust once every two years. 😂 Truth! ✌️
I like the order it brings. I hate clutter! I dont bring the junk mail into the house. I deposit it immediately into the recycle bin before I enter the house! The days of severe depression I cant get anything done. I double up on the housework on my better days.🙂
If I am not depressed I do some everyday.

Not the whole house every day? 🙁

No,. I rotate the work. Except for sweeping, doing dishes making my bed everyday. Sounds exciting huh? How are you feeling today? I just got back from grocery shopping.
• in reply toTara52
If you find it exciting then that's what matters.
I'm back from grocery shopping about 30 minutes ago, its another thing I don't like 😅
I'm feeling OK today what about you?
I am doing so much better today than yesterday. 🙂 I was very depressed but just for the day. Unfortunately I watched a program on YouTube about narcissistic mothers and it brought up alot of anger. She passed in 2013. I thought I forgave her for all of the abuse ( control, manipulation and verbal abuse). However I never really released the anger . I suppressed it. 😟
• in reply toTara52
Do you watch stuff like to try to get answers and how would you release the anger?
I'm glad you are feeling better today 😊
I'm 74 and disabled.
I have decided that the house is My sanctuary, and I will have it as I want it and to blazes with what anyone else thinks!
Certain things I will keep pristine. other things can get cluttered.
Those who come to see me will understand, and those who come to see the house, can go away unfulfilled!
Cheers, Midori

That's a good way to look at it.
Yes I do infact I would say I enjoy doing it. I hate my room dusty and the bathroom has to be as nice as I can get it. So it is one thing I my life I can say I really don't mind it.

Do you spend a lot of time on it?
Qr83k_-Jd• in reply to
Yes quite a lot of the afternoon and evening. Bit stupid don't you think? Too much time I think.
• in reply toQr83k_-Jd
It's not stupid if you like it.
During ramadan i clean the dishes i love doing it but sometimes my hands get irritated . My mom in the other hand dreads it she now has Carpal tunnel syndrome on her left thumb so doing house work is painful for her 😬😕
