I detest the minutia of running a house. When it came to chores, I balked at the thought of enforcing a long list. Our children's allowance is not strictly tied to their jobs. Consistency and follow through are not my strengths. I hate nagging, have no patience for management, and often do the work rather than asking for help.
Housework seems to build more neurosis than pride.
A sense of pride develops from work that's well done.
