dynamicdebz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bago Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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.

Guest Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 *Puts hand up* 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.

I do cook, because i enjoy cooking but i still burn things all the time because i don't watch them and i do minimal amount of cleaning and tidying a week.

Guest Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm not! My mum so is, i rebelled! 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
