Part of the bare minimum
Could you tell me how to correctly write this?
is « part of » optional? Would you say who or which fur or hair?
I do the bare minimum when it comes to the housework and vacuuming (is part of) the bare minimum. I cannot not vacuum. I have a dog who/which loses its hair/fur.
Thank you.

anonymous I do the bare minimum when it comes to the housework , and vacuuming (is part of) the bare minimum. The lack of a comma makes this sentence look like pure nonsense. One reads when it comes to the housework and vacuuming and takes it as a unit.

- With the comma you can't omit the part in parentheses because then you won't have any verb in the clause.
