Yes. Are you?

Yup, you should re-evaluate. There are a jillion reasons to do things that are chores. The word chore should not be implicitly perceived as a negative thing. Do I want to clean my house? Yes. Is it still a chore? Do some thinking for yourself. I honestly have no idea what the heck you are talking about; hence my comment. Do you seriously perceive any chores as not worth doing? That sounds unhealthy.

  > There are a jillion reasons to do things that are chores. > Do I want to clean my house? Yes. Is it still a chore? > Do you seriously perceive any chores as not worth doing? None of these are relevant as to whether 'chore' has negative connotations. It clearly does to me and I'm baffled at the opposition. Do I want to clean my house? No of course not, and you don't either. If your house cleaned itself automatically would you still wish to do it? No, you do it because you need to, not because you want to. Just about every dictionary definition mentions chores as at least possibly considered negative: > a hard or unpleasant task: Solving the problem was quite a chore. ([1]) > A chore is a task that you must do but that you find unpleasant or boring. > She sees exercise primarily as an unavoidable chore. > Making pasta by hand with a rolling pin can be a real chore. ([2]) An entire article that wouldn't exist if chores were fun activities: [3]. > “Chore” can have a negative connotation and feel like a burden to a child.

    I only got a few sentences into this but I can assure you that I love cleaning my house, and performing various other chores. Work related and otherwise. If I didn’t do them, my life would be worse than if I didn’t! It’s pretty easy stuff! Embrace the chore, clean up after yourself! It’s worth doing.
