There are 2 types of chore Saturdays:

The holy shit I have so much to do stressful Saturday which isn’t fun

And the imma drink a 6 pack and kafutz around getting stuff done but with no real urgency

I don’t know if I’ve become boring and should have hobbies or something but I love a good Saturday, especially if there’s football (soon), where I just meander around fixing or cleaning or whatever I get some stuff done but at my own pace

  1. I feel like getting older is a slow process of realizing that your parents are just regular human beings and that they were right about a lot things.

  2. Your dad set a good example. It’s just part of being an adult and taking care of your space/s. Your only alternative is to do some of those chores every night of the week after work, then be lazy on Saturday and Sunday.

  3. Your dad did chores? All my dad did was mow the lawn and sit around the house the rest of the day watching TV.

  4. I like it. It’s when I get to be alone and just focus on simpler tasks. Sometimes it’s a pain. Like when I think I fixed something and the problem comes back. Or fighting leaks in an irrigation system. But I like it 99% of the time. Smoking some weed beforehand helps. Lol

  5. Honestly I do chores because I like the results. And it’s not boring anymore – that’s the wild part.

  6. If you’re doing chores, chances are no one will offer to help you and/or will actively avoid getting recruited into helping so they leave you alone. It’s the only way some guys can get any peace.

  8. I feel like this about a lot of “structure” or “routine” type things. It turns out when they’re my own structure/routine and I can do them my way at my own pace, rather than some authority figure’s stressed out anal checklist, they’re actually very enjoyable. Didn’t really get that until my 30s. I had to get rid of the stressed out authority figure in my head.

  9. I’m currently doing my side hustle work to help pay for a vacation and would much rather be doing chores outside (with said 6 pack you mentioned)

  10. It’s nice to just accept that you need to maintain your space and do it in a way that works for you.

    I like to smoke a joint(not American, it’s legal in my country) with a coffee while watering gardens, then throw laundry in, wash the car then clean the shower before taking one. By mid afternoon I’m chillin.

    Of course I have great tunes blastin the whole way. Even have a speaker in my shower.
