 MuggleNet Slavery Should Have NO Place - An editorial by LeeJordanfan.
That's where the house elf would generally come in, to assist their master in completing these tasks leaving more time for leisure.
It is true that house elves take orders, but this doesn't prove that house elves "prefer not to think on their own".
House elves have the capacity for independent thought, yet to impose your will on them is morally wrong.

 HPL: House-Elves
They are "bound" to the family of the house, which means they do all manner of menial tasks for them until they die.
He is devoted to the mother of Sirius Black, who died in 1985 [Y5] but whose portrait still shrieks orders from the wall of the front hall of the house.

 House-elf enslavement
We know that it is the House, because of Dobby and the other Hogwarts houseelf's give priority to the Hogwarts Castle than the Headmaster, because they stay at Hogwarts when a Headmaster is replaced (which is a reasonable and logical assumption).
The basic argument I make is that a House-elf is tied or enslaved to a physical House and then therefore the House owner and his relatives, and not a particular "family".
Which seems to say that the house is what enslaves them, and therefore must take orders from the owner of the house.

 What would you do with a house elf? - The Sugar Quill
No, I'd probably be too broke from buying the house elf, so I'd just have to be a nice master and hope that they like the whole service business (since it is in their nature, right?).
I don't do that often enough, so a house elf on top of that would be good (especially if Aicha's coming to visit, with her bad allergies and all)!
Well, since I actually like doing the laundry, that's one thing the house elf is sticking his nose out of.

 sedesdraconis: house elf write-up, 2nd revision
Their offspring may be normal elves, and in the next (elf) generation the situation will revert to A, B, or C. But the elves in situation D have a reproducative edge not shared by elves in the other situations: breeding adults with access to artificial and abundant den sites, without conflict with the resident humans.
House elves are clearly allowed to breed, because Kreacher's ancestors served in the Black household.
The use of the house is to be negotiated between the two inhabiting family groups.

 Letters of Marque: Elf-love
We don't care about either the intent of the giver to free an elf (accidentally "passing a sock" frees) or the intent of the elf to be freed (Hermione can leave socks hidden under rubble in order to trick house elves into freedom).
In other words, if the elf has some orders which would encompass picking up the clothing and the elf picks up the clothing, the gift is probably effective.
Nonetheless: it seems that when the initial rights to elf labor are conveyed to a wizarding family, the family gets a fee simple determinable.
