Easy

[Sinny]

Following up on my grocery shopping thread, the great life quandary of shopping for sustenance vs. shopping for experience, I am pondering other cultural shifts related to the struggle of time vs. home labor.

Grocery app ordering and delivery.
Outsourcing housecleaning.
Hiring someone to do the garden work.

Where are you in that stage in life? Do you want to spend time cleaning and gardening? Does it bug you how much time you have to spend on it?

My internal struggle is... Am I bougie or realistic about my free time for labor?

Have you ditched your adult responsibilities in order to create more leisure time or an easier life?

Or do you find joy in stuff like cleaning your house or grocery shopping? I want to know.

Poll (pole) to follow.

Yes it is bourgeoisie, but there is no point in being a member of the bourgeoisie if you can't explain the underclass.

 

[Liar]

Food shopping is too important to leave to a 3rd party. I want to scout the nice tomatos, check the expire date on the milk, poke the breadloaves and pick the right cut of beef.

But then again, my household is not the size of a mariachi band.

I mow the grass every few weeks, that's the extent of my gardening. Clean the house about once a week, too. Maybe an hour tops.

 

[RainbowReverie]

I get my groceries delivered mainly cause it's cheaper than taking a bus there and back or carrying it all home myself.

I love cleaning the house though it's relaxing, usually throw on some music or a podcast and work away. I actually procrastinate other things I should be doing by cleaning

I pop down to Sainsbury's once a week, it's only five minutes away. Problem is the car park is full of imbeciles.

Housecleaning: outsourced
Yard work: outsourced
Car washing: outsourced
Washing and ironing: these services provided by my partner

Damn, I’m a lazy bastard. I food shop whenever needed, however, and do a lot of cooking.

 

[Aquagal]

House chores: me and 2 slaves.
Yard: me
Washing: me
Ironing: throw it in the dryer!
Food shopping: me, usually every couple days according to my palate desires

 

[spacekowboy]

Ive dine the grocery shopping thing. Its crazy convenient and so much better for my state of mind than the road rage I get behind the cart. Other house work i can take care of for the most part.

The struggle is real. Well, not really. If all I can complain about is house work, life is good.

Food shopping is too important to leave to a 3rd party. I want to scout the nice tomatos, check the expire date on the milk, poke the breadloaves and pick the right cut of beef.

Mine is the size of a drumline.
I feel for the squeezing tomatoes and thumping the melons and sampling a grape or two. That is why I have, two weekends in a row, put all the food in the online shopping cart and then deleted it and then gone grocery shopping at the actual store. I am getting ready to go shopping now. Uggghhhhh

I mow the grass every few weeks, that's the extent of my gardening. Clean the house about once a week, too. Maybe an hour tops.

Yes, but how much time do you spend sexting LTR?

She gonna punch me for that.

You make fine points about transportation. It has become so congested where I live and finding parking is a pain. Does the store ever screw you with shitty produce or expired dairy?

I pop down to Sainsbury's once a week, it's only five minutes away. Problem is the car park is full of imbeciles.

I only understood 92 percent of that. Car park is parking lot? And Sainsbury's is what kind of store?

That's not lazy. That's living life well. 5 bonus points.

Right there with you on ironing. I also accidentally bought a shirt that needs to be dry cleaned. I was like AGGHHHHHHHHH when I got home so I took it back. I am only buying things on a need-to basis and anything dry cleaned is not worth the hassle even if it is a lovely blouse.

Ever gotten screwed by crappy product?

Yep, parking lot. It has a one way system which is regularly ignored by morons. There are big white arrows on the road, you cunts!

Sainsbury's is a big grocery store. Second biggest chain in the UK, I think.

I fucking hate cunts who can't follow arrows.
So Sainsbury's is like a Safeway?

Or Wal Mart without the evilness.

Cleaning - Paid cleaner weekly
Shopping - both of us
Cooking - both of us
Garden/lawns - paid gardener monthly
Washing - both
Ironing - as needed

I get it now!

I have a cup on my desk for highlighters and sharpies, and another cup on my desk for pens and mechanical pencils.

My lawn/yard guy is rehired for the upcoming season.
The snow plow guy at my cabin is done for the season, but will be renewed in September. My driveway and landscaping at home isn't "plow friendly", so I use the snowblower as needed.
I used to have the world's best housekeeper but when SWMBO retired from her day-to-day job, she thought she'd maintain the house. Ha, like she has time? I dunno how she had time to work, before.
We have his and hers irons; mine for ski waxing and hers for sewing projects. Otherwise, it's wash and wear!
We both wash clothes.
We both cook.
We both buy groceries, she shops, I buy.

 

[pointless]

you're bougie. there and i didn't even have to vote.

 

[Saint Peter]

My lawn mower is worth more than my truck.

 

[EternalFantasies]

My housekeeper since two years is a hot 21 yr old.

I'm an excellent cook. But over it. I cook sometimes.

I must do the groceries; kinda like Liar.

I take care of my grown from scratch little indoor garden. Outdoor outsourced.

Around 10 years ago i threw my board away and pledged to never iron clothes again. Yay for cleaners.

That is very feng shui of you, Petey. Where do you keep your Vic Firths, tho?

There is nothing more Alaska than the shit you just said above.

God I fucking missed you, you god damn asshole.

I fully expected you to admit to this at some point.

My guy spends more on dry cleaners than I spend on wine a year, which is a LOT.
