“...TV was entertainment of the last resort. There was nothing on during the day in the summer other than game shows and soap operas. Besides, a TV-watching child was considered available for chores: take out the trash, clean your room, pick up that mess, fold those towels, mow the lawn... the list was endless. We all became adept at chore-avoidance. Staying out of sight was a reliable strategy. Drawing or painting was another: to my mother, making art trumped making beds. A third choir-avoidance technique was to read. A kid with his or her nose in a book is a kid who is not fighting, yelling, throwing, breaking things, bleeding, whining, or otherwise creating a Mom-size headache. Reading a book was almost like being invisible - a good thing for all concerned.”
Pete Hautman
“Every child must have chores to do. It gives them dignity in work and the joy of labor.”
Earl Hamner Jr.“No one likes doing chores. In happiness surveys, housework is ranked down there with commuting as activities that people enjoy the least. Maybe that's why figuring out who does which chores usually prompts, at best, tense discussion in a household and, at worst, outright fighting.”
Emily Oster“We had a strict routine that nothing could change: we'd get up at six, and it would be my job or Meinhard's to get milk from the farm door. When w were a little older and starting to play sports, exercises were added to the chores, and we had to earn our breakfast by doing sit-ups. In the afternoon, we'd finish our homework and chores, and my father would make us practice soccer no matter how bad the weather was.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story“The hardest chore to do, and to do right, is to think. Why do you think the common man would choose labor, partially, as a distraction from his own thoughts? It is because that level of stress, he most absolutely abhors.”
Criss Jami, Healology“They shared the chores of living as some couples do --she did most of the work and he appreciated it.”
Paula Gosling“Sometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore.”
Carew Papritz, The Legacy Letters: his Wife, his Children, his Final Gift“I held a nail in place and slammed it with the hammer. Best. Chore. Ever.”
Cate Tiernan, Immortal Beloved“When you consciously choose to do what you love, life becomes a pleasure and ceases to be a chore.”
Amy Leigh Mercree, Joyful Living: 101 Ways to Transform Your Spirit and Revitalize Your Life“Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.”
