<p>Let’s not forget also that many many people did every chore for their household (and still do nowadays) not because it was “satisfying,” but because they had no other option. People in general have always been happy when something comes along which makes their work a little bit easier. There was a passage in one of the Little House books where Pa surprises Ma with a sewing machine. She is THRILLED, because it turns out she always hated sewing and this machine was going to make her life a bit easier. </p>
<p>Many people who do all the work involved in maintaining a home would likely be very happy if they could pay someone else to do it so that it can make more time for things they enjoy doing or provide more quality time with their families. I did all the bathroom cleaning in our home growing up (ALL of it). You better believe that when DH began making enough money to hire a cleaning service I was thrilled to take him up on it. I haven’t scrubbed a toilet or a bathtub since, and my life is no less satisfying for it. ;)</p>
