I do everything...I'm alone.

I'm the only one who sees smudges - on closet doors, light switch plates, etc. - and cleans 'em.

This is a very entertaining topic. How did I miss it until now?!

tkoufus, what is a cordial bottle - kept in the fridge? And I love the comment your 14-y-o son made about the rabbit, "Isn't it dead yet?" That is SO 14-y-o!!

pick up the dog poo!

cordial bottle mmmm well cordial is a drink and it has a syrup flavoured base that you add water to. rather than putting a small amount in a glass and adding water to it every time someone wants a drink i make up a big bottle of it so the kids can just pour their own drink without me having to do it. i think the US equivalent might be cool aide. check out this web reference and you will see what i mean. copy and past the web pages to go see.

its worth checking out the youtube video, most people can sing the cottees jingle no problem. even the lady in the add uses a big jug of cordial rather than making it up one glass at a time.

Cordial is a much more appealing term than Kool Aid . . . thanks, tkoufus! I'll check out the links.

Oh, I see that the cordial contains 25% fruit juice. Kool Aid seems to be somewhat vitamin fortified, but don't think there's any fruit involved.

vacuum, mow the lawn, and shovel the snow...I do these to help my elder folks out. (though mom hates the smell of vacuuming)

I'm the only one who will do any gardening. And I love the flowers, but hate, hate, HATE the weeding! I always think I'd hate it so much less if I had someone sharing the hate! My daughter mows the grass . . . but my husband won't do a thing but earn money! The nerve of him! LOL

In the 13 years we've lived in this house, I don't think that anyone else has ever swept the front steps, etc. I have to say, though, that I really enjoy doing it . . . fortunately!

laundry. I wonder if they even know where the washing machine is.

definately trash....they will pile & pile until it is up to the 9 foot ceiling or it falls, whichever comes first

Laundry.... aparently the knobs are really confusing (riiiiiiiight)

Put the sour cream, mustard, cheese back in the fridge.

Fold clothes... My boyfriend has no problem doing all of the laundry... and then sticking it in a laundry basket and rifiling through it until it's empty.

Flushing the toilet..... COME ON THERES A LITTLE LEVER RIGHT THERE!! ON THE SIDE!! Too many males in this house......

tkoufus you should see the movie "The Story of Us". Rita Wilson delivers the follwing quote beautifully in it:

"It is physically impossible to French-kiss a man who leaves the new roll of toilet paper resting on top of the empty cardboard roll. Does he not see it? DOES HE NOT SEE IT?"

Lolz

It is my job to keep track of everything in the house. "Honey, where are my keys?". The sad thing is, I always know.

Lizanne- That is my favorite part of the movie!! And there are days I feel that way too :D

Loading the dishwasher.

In my house it is not the loading of the dishwasher that is difficult, but the UNloading.

Just like when my husband says he has done the laundry, I can rest assured that it is sitting in the dryer. Yes it is "done", but I don't consider it so until it is put away. Call me crazy...

the toilet,the toxic nappies and cat boxes..

(I hate unloading the dishwasher, so most of the time, the hubby has to do it)

I have to add on whats already here-cleaning smudges off floors,doors,walls etc-yes i believe they are invisible to everyone else :P Moving the empty toilet roll from the bathroom-I left them once and think when I finally gave in there were at least 10!
