Yikes, Sara.
Cooking for OR cleaning up after Mac is my proposal.
In my childhood house, the person who made dinner did not clean up after. And I did the family laundry starting in 5th grade.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

That is not as bad as I feared, sarameg.

Why would I want to be hot, dirty and naked with strangers.
I prefer the heat and dirt in such situations to be generated via friction rather than being in a 100°+ dust bowl.

One of those you could just drop off at the pound if it got to be too much. People tend to frown on doing so with teenagers, though I imagine most can sympathize with the urge.

In my house there were three kids, so generally mom (who was a stay at home mom) cooked, one kid put things in the dishwasher, one did pots and pans by hand, and one wiped the table/Swept the floor. I started doing laundry when I was maybe 12. Maybe younger. And when I was in high school mom went back to grad school so we all had to cook some

Holy crap, Rob Ford was only 46? I'd have guessed like 60.
I suspect the only thing I'd learn about myself at Burning Man is precisely how long it would take me to snap. 20 minutes? An hour? A mystery I may never solve.

There were three of us and we cleaned up after dinner about as far back as I remember. Laundry was done for the household, not individually, but we took turns at it. Also took our turns cooking, although mom did proportionally more especially when we were younger. People cleaning up after me makes me really uncomfortable (except in the I cook, you wash-up scenario, which just seems right and proper).
Some things we are better off not knowing, brenda. Exactly how long before you snap is probably one of those.

Yeah, no sticker shock on this. The drywalling might, but my neighbor had basically the same areas redone, so I asked him for #s.

I no longer do his laundry, but he seems willing to basically not do it until yelled at. Smelly yucky gross.

Jesus, seriously. At least 50s.
I was also surprised to find out Ted Cruz is only 45, but that's just his face.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wait, what? The dude is seriously only my age?
