That really was a wonderful video. It makes me feel so blessed to have a husband who does do the laundry and other household chores without question.

[elisi]

Mine's not bad either - he does all the cooking! :)

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is so important :DDD

[elisi]

It made me sad & happy - here's to hoping things might change.

Hubby usually gives a hand around the house. I'm picky and fussy about it and I must admit, he's better at certain things than I am, lol!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Yeah, mine does all the cooking - and is very good at it! I... lack that talent.

My mum actually learn't more about housekeeping from her father. If some men spent more time doing house chores than avoiding it, then they wouldn't underestimate it.

[elisi]

This. Funnily enough it's quite hard/boring.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

That's why some people pay others to do it if they can afford to.

[elisi]

I keep saying that I need a wife...

(I have a husband, who currently is working from home, but 'working' very rarely translates into 'housework'.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Tell your husband to see it as a D.I.Y project.

If men were left to fend for themselves they could pick it up. But some just can't hack it.

Even I find it overwhelming if I'm busy studying. I get so tired if I'm the only one in the household doing chores.

Ha! Then it'd be MONTHS.

(He's good at DIY, but he needs time.)

Well I took time off over Easter, so now everything looks better.

(Also apologies for late reply.)

My mum is very competent when it comes to organising things like housekeeping. Sometimes I feel like I'm underachieving.

A place for everything, and everything in its place is one motto my Retail teacher told me.

I want to learn a trade because I'm tired of waiting for a handyman to fix stuff around my rental home.

I still can not post any entries on my LJ account so I have made a Dreamwidth account to post fic's there.

My mother has everything organised by day, right down to meals. I decided a long time ago that I can't be like that, nor do I want to...

Yeah, they never met my husband. Or any child, ever.

Good thinking!

And re. posting on dreamwidth, then you should be able to set it to crosspost...

It's more easier to keep things organised at work than to maintain housework. The work load is lesser and you get paid for it.

I just want to learn about plumbing. The Department of housing already know about the leaking and yet continue to charge a higher water bill!

Thanks for the help.:)

This, omg. Also, at work other people don't come and dump all their stuff over your desk...

My brother-in-law is a plumber. Although he's on the South Pole at the moment...

And if you need any help with Dreamwidth, just say. Although I remember it all being fairly straight-forward.

I remember working as a food prep/ kitchen hand in fast food and the most annoying part of the job was when the cashiers came to the back with the empty chicken trays and just dump them anywhere.

They didn't even bother to chuck the scraps in the bin. Like I don't have enough to clean up as it was.

I should just hire someone to deal with the plumbing.

Thanks. I'm going to look into Dreamwidth more when I go on a break from my course.

I just got an reply from LiveJournal Support to give them more details on my posting problem. I'm going to send them a picture.

I think that the world would be a better place if people could learn not to be thoughtless.

Good luck! And word of mouth is probably the best way to find someone decent.

It's sort of like LJ's younger sibling. I find it useful as a backup, but all my friends are on LJ...

And good luck with getting your LJ fixed!

"It's sort of like LJ's younger sibling. I find it useful as a backup, but all my friends are on LJ..."

I've been getting that vibe myself. I wanted to stick with LJ but given the circumstances I can't. Besides my beta, I'm not sure if anyone's reading my fic's in Dreamwidth. I do appreciate that I get feedback at all. Not that I want to pressure people...

I want to use my LJ account properly!. I miss it.:(

[elisi]

It looks like you're back? At least you seem to be posting???

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm sorry for the confusion. I was going to make an announcement but then I thought you'd find out from when I posted an entry anyway.

[elisi]

No worries, it was a pleasant surprise. :)

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Just when I was complaining about it.

At least it's working. I still don't know what caused it though.

[elisi]

Gremlins.

Or maybe Frank the Goat.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I was asked what caused it.

It could happen again. It's just one of those things.

[elisi]

Here's to hoping everything will be fine from now on!
