Why do some people like household chores so much? Like they never run out of things to do?

Mostly moms and grandmas...but yeah. I just want to understand. I can't get them to just chill.

Personally, I don't like doing household chores.

Think there’s several reasons why I like doing them. One is I grew up in a house where zero household chores were done, other than dishes being done every several days. It was embarrassing and why I rarely had friends over. Having a clean house that was kept up with was one of the many things I wanted my kids to have that I didn’t. Another reason is I don’t have a job. I don’t financially contribute to our family so household chores is a way for me to feel like I do. I need that sense of accomplishment and contribution for myself otherwise I’ll feel like a bum. And honestly, I have to stay busy due to a quiet mind that can go into an anxiety spiral real quick. Keeping my body busy helps distract my mind. I’m not anal about the chores by any means, but I do enjoy doing my part to have a home my family and I can be proud of.
