I don't mind doing dishes and would rather have another cupboard than a dishwasher. DH, who is not yet retired (so not often home) hates doing dishes and insisted we had to have a dishwasher. This made no sense to me as I'm the one doing them, but the contractor we worked with when we remodeled the kitchen agreed with him, saying it would be better for resale. That won't happen until I'm gone, but whatever. When I am cooking or baking, I wash and clean up as I go. Pretty much the only thing that goes in the dishwasher is our silverware, glasses and dishes, and run it every 3 days or so.
I worked full time when we had children, so nope, no cloth diapers for me. I had plenty of experience with them as I was also the oldest child. Filling a bucket, transferring to wash, cleaning them, folding them - all more chores that I didn't want or need to fit in. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have fond memories of using them anyhow, lol. I mean, we did buy them to use for dustcloths, until more efficient microfiber came out, and I don't recall enjoying using them that way, either.
Growing up on a farm, we canned and froze everything except milk and eggs. Those, of course, we got fresh daily. I no longer can anything. I do roast and freeze tomatoes for soups, stews and casseroles, as well as beans and jams.
During summer Prime Deal week, I bought a Narwhal self-propelled vacuum mop. It vacuums and mops at the same time, and as it is self-propelled, is much easier on my bad back and shoulders than regular vacuuming and mopping of the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. I love it. As it's doing both jobs at once, it's a lot faster. The charging base cleans the roller, then it's very easy to clean the dry debris and dirty water tank.
I agree with Stitchnripper that it's nice that we can all choose how to do things. I think the memories we have that give warm fuzzies are more about that season of life, when we were young and/or had young children. Even a quiet moment to do something as mundane as folding laundry would have been a pleasant break.
