I've been participating in a role playing game a game called Chore Wars. Chore Wars lets you claim experience points for household chores. The game suggests that a household play as a team so people can see who's really doing the work. I'm playing with Barbara, her sister Susan, and Susan's husband Patrick, and someone else I don't know. I started logging my chores and found that I do a hell of a lot of them! Susan and Barbara do a lot of chores too. The other two haven't logged that many - so I figure, they don't care to log chores, whether they do them or not.
I have advanced to Level 6 Shaman status. I don't know if I want to log my chores anymore. It is depressing. From seeing it, I wonder how to make it so I don't have so many chores. If I had logged last week's chores, I did some major cleaning and I would have probably advanced. The thought of it seemed to depressing - I see all these chores and what? clean stuff just gets dirty again. Fine meals get eaten. It's a truth of life.
So I'm not logging my chores anymore - I don't know if Barbara and Susan care so much either - they have slowed down. It might be different if one was tracking chores within a household. Then the accomplishments would be more meaningful. When the game becomes a chore, it's time to stop playing!
