Comment on I neither confirm or deny that I just procrastinated away from jobs to draw my rendition of 'myth of sisyphus' laundry edition

  You wouldn’t clean without kids?

    Cleaning up after a child is not the same as general cleaning.

    If you’re an adult, you can get away with cleaning once a week, because you’re capable of taking food all the way to your mouth without dropping it, and you probably have a vague laundry organization system, and some of the time, you out stuff back where you foundil it when you’re done using it.

    Kids cannot do any of that shit, so your house accumulates one week worth of responsible adult mess in 11 minutes.

      so your house accumulates one week worth of responsible adult mess in about 11 minutes.

      What remarkably tidy and generous children you have.

      Mine manage it in around -5 minutes; now I know this statement makes seems to no sense. But when one considers the reality of the situation; the logic is solid…when I’m around 5 minutes from finishing cleaning, the mess has already accumulated in some other portion of the house.

    I still clean, but most of the time it’s just a spot clean every few weeks or so. Unlike parents, which need to do a deep clean every week

      I’d put it at 2 weeks to a month for a deep clean, just gotta clean as you go. Helps to enforce outside shoe removal at the entryway and to sweep and vacuum the garage floor occasionally. I will say, having kids now and being in charge of cleaning for a decade and a half, I really get anakin’s hatred of sand

      Parents are just underutilizing the free labor from the little slaves they’ve bred :)

    Yes… But a lot less.
