I didn't do any chores because Mother kept saying "You're not doing that right, here, let me do it." We may have wandered in to help with laundry occasionally, but it wasn't anything that was assigned. Sometimes we'd ask to make dinner, but it wasn't a regular thing. The only thing we had to do was take care of the garden in the summer.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

I started doing the laundry and all other household chores that weren't cooking or gardening when I was 9.

So some actual rocket scientist at work was successfully phished, locking down our network and forcing a password change. Except none of the login failures indicated this, so I had a frustrating hour trying to set up to work from home tomorrow. Hot tip to IT: if you're forcing a mass password change, maybe put that in the login failure prompt, not in an email ( and vmail that converts to email after x hrs) that users cannot access! Especially in peak vacation times. Jesus. Fucking rocket scientists.

But it was an offer for free tickets to Neil deGrasse Tyson!

Yeah. I need to get the kids doing more on the chore front. The chore board seemed to help some this weekend.
I just finished up with chores for today not too long ago.

Well, I probably should clean up in the kitchen, but I'm feeling too tired. Started getting it while cooking dinner but the noise irritated my wife so I quit cleaning.

So, because she was irritated by the noise, she's going to do the cleaning later, right?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
There were three of us and we ate downstairs in the family room, so everything and to be carried up or down on a big tray. One set the table, one cleared and one rinsed the dishes, loaded the dishwasher and wiped the counters. This started when we were preteens. We all had to make our beds and keep our rooms somewhat clean. Had to put our laundry away, as well. The rest of the housecleaning was my mom, though.
