House chores ARE also work!

When I tell my married friends (married with children) that I work 16-18 hours a day, some of them look at me a bit incredulous. How can I possibly be working that much? After all, I’m not married, I don’t have kids to look after, etc. But the reality is, there are house chores to do: Prepare food, pack lunches, clean the apartment, do laundry. The other day I tweeted so happy because I had had the time to actually do laundry. Sometimes, I work from home simply because that’s the only way I can get laundry and other things done. And when I make phone calls, I usually wash dishes on the go. So yeah, I do between 16-18 hours of work. But some of those, do include house chores. I wish there were House Chores Fairies. And yes, I do have a house cleaner but she doesn’t come every day and not even every week!
