What chores did you have around the house as a kid

Probably not until summer is over. My Anaheim office is out of commission right now. They are renovating the entire floor. Fall is the target for completion.

Hoag has branched off and is no longer affiliated with us, so my only trips that way are when I go to Anaheim.

Bonus points for the French words.

Not much I like about the French (other than their wine) but the language does have some great idioms. 😁

My Bucket list is coming to pass.

TIA.

It looks like a one-sided relationship to me.

Cut the grass (roughly 5 acres)
Weed and manage the flower beds
Dust the house
Clean my bedroom
Vacuum the house
Water the beds and a huge garden
Weed the garden
Shovel the front porch/steps in winter
Feed the dog
Pick stones (50 acres - absolutely the WORST job)
For a decade: change the trays (wood chips) and feed the 500 Chinchillas my Dad decided to raise - this happened weekly and took me and my brother a solid 4 hours every Saturday


Those were the everyday stuff. The other stuff:

Polish all the classic cars (10 of 'em)
Help change the oil on all cars
Maintain my go-kart
Help planting/harvesting the crops (50 acre farm)
Help putting up snow fence in the fall
Help Dad rebuild the 427 in my Dad's 68 Vette
Help remove heavy snow build up on the roof of the house in big snow winters
Help with brake jobs on all cars

But, my most important job was making myself look busy, or even more jobs would be added at the drop of a coin.

For this, my brother and I were paid $10/week. Saved almost every penny of it.

We used to have one of those buried garbage cans for kitchen waste. It was a maybe a ten gallon galvanized paid with a handle nested into a concrete cylinder and accessed through a cast iron cover, hinged with a step opposite of the cover to open it. A local farm used the garbage to feed pigs.

Not to be confused with the 40 gallon steel trash cans.

It was my job to load the thing and keep it clean. Flies would lay eggs in it and one time it was literally frothing with maggots. ****ing disgusting.

One time I went to load it to find two eyes looking up at me- a huge racoon. After that we stopped using it.

Oh please, keep poking the bear

Can't we all get along?

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Very similar cadence. But giving the benefit of the doubt.

People share their life experiences, people learn from them, and people pass them on to others. That's what this, and all forums should proudly showcase in "print". If you feel you aren't as educated as some, then step up your game and educate yourself. Learn some new vocabulary words(look them up). Practice your spelling, and teach your kids and spouse. Strive to learn and be your potential better educated self. Ignorance is not bliss, nor should it be lauded. Welcome other points of view that differ from your own, and see both or multiple sides of an issue before you default to defending your current self-state of mind. Grow!
Post Script:
I'm out of tomorrow, so don't think I've been run off. I will return on Monday.

We girls helped with everything in the house. But then when the boys were out learning to be men playing football and running track, we girls did the outside stuff, too.

Never, not once, did I see my brothers do a household chore. They should have been tasked to at least clean the bathroom (that we five shared). If they had been so tasked, they might have learned to aim.
