Don't want to start a sexist debate so men included.

Anyone who has read some of my posts will know i'm not the most domesticated of people.

I can't cook, always burn the iron, only found out yesterday that my dryer has a pipe that is supposed to go outside to get rid of condensation. Up until recently i thought the sheves in my oven were black not silver & the glass on the door smoked glass not clear. I could make you howl with some of the stories.

I do have other qualities, I can decorate, knit, sew a whole outfit from scratch. I have a full career.

So who else is as bad as me?

I can't get rid of stains, and there are supposedly some old remedies for each single type of stains. I also have burnt pots before. :hihi: I can't knit, well, I used to know a little bit, but have since given up. I used to do a lot of girly things too, maybe parents drilled it into me, but I don't do that any more. I can't garden, or mend or sew.

We all have our little talents and it would seem that you found yours. So what if it isnt being a housewife, you seem to be doing fine as you are!

 

My other half is domesticated, but my ex could barely make a slice of toast without burning the entire street down.

I can't cook. I simply don't enjoy it. I clean around the house when things start to look a little dirty, but if I could stand the idea of someone poking around my things, I'd hire a cleaner.

 

I can do a fair bit of DIY and decorating, though I'm usually far too lazy. Knitting and textiles are my only real claims to domesticity, though I see those as art/craft than as a domestic duty.

My mum so is, i rebelled! :D

That was me! My mum is a domestic goddess, so I know she's simply itching to pick up the dusters and Mr Sheen when she visits :hihi: .
