Stupid chores

Seems like every time I turn around I'm learning something new about taking care of my home. I just finished scrubbing all the cabinets and walls and baseboards in my kitchen. This is a stupid chore. I NEVER knew that I was suppose to clean the walls. I mean seriously. They just stand there and we walk around them. It does no good to mop a floor if there are grubby baseboards right next to the clean tile. And it isn't the dirt you can sweep off with a broom. You have to actually get down there and elbow it off. How does this grub even occur. What is causing stickiness on baseboards to the point that I have to buy a special cleaning thing to get if off? And my oh my. The walls and cabinets. It isn't just within range of my children. There were spots and splatters and sticky stuff all the way to the ceiling. Really? We can't even reach up there! If I have to stand on a chair to reach it, it seems like it would be hard to get dirty. Dust I can understand, but grime? I never in my life remember seeing anyone wash a wall or scrub a baseboard. I have lived in several houses and apartments and such. Never ever did it occur to me that this was a chore I needed to keep up with. I just so happened to see a spot on the cabinet and when I started looking around I was floored! This is one of those things that makes me feel like there is a chore conspiracy that is not going in my favor. I think it is silly that such grime occurs and I would like to revolt.
