Which of these household chores do you hate doing the most?

1. Mowing the yard...

I'm from SE Alaska, and we barely got grass to mow...when I moved to Missouri, I was introduced to the Lawn Care culture, and I absolutely hate it. I keep telling my wife, if I had it my way, I'd kill off all the grass, and lay asphalt all the way around the house.

2. Cleaning the cat litter box

I hate that

[Brickbat]

3. I put laundry, although it's just folding and putting it away. I like sorting, washing, and drying

or putting it on the line just fine. The folding and putting away are a tedium to my soul.

[fizzgig]

19. hell, i'll even put it away

just don't make me fold it x(

[azmouse]

4. I really don't mind any type of household work but

if I HAD to pick one I'd say washing the dishes. I have some expensive pots and pans, and delicate Waterford crystal that I can't put in the dishwasher. It's the only thing I do around the house that can be a nuisance.

5. cleaning bathrooms. that gets its own category. much of the cleaning

is just a job. as is the cooking, laundry, shopping and lawn.

but hate

truly in the core of who i am, hate....

cant hardly drag myself to do

is cleaning the bathrooms, with two teenage boys and a hubby

[Danmel]

6. Ironing

I hate it & do it poorly.

[femmocrat]

10. Me too. So time-consuming.

Then as soon as you put the damn clothes on, they wrinkle. Whatever happened to "permanent press" anyhow?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. Agreed. I don't mind washing clothes but ironing blows.

[snailly]

14. Ironing?

What does that even mean?

[iris27]

15. Absolutely ironing.

Cannot stand it.

[muffin1]

23. I really enjoy ironing. There is a secret, though, that I will share.

The first step is to make sure you are good and high. The second is to have a bunch of Law and Orders recorded.

Problem solved. Actually, my way makes almost all of the chores mentioned tolerable.:)

[Flaxbee]

7. I HATE mopping / cleaning floors. HATE IT

Don't mind dishes, laundry, lawncare (though I think high maintenance lawns are stupid). Don't love cleaning the bathroom, either, but I'd rather clean the tub than the floors.

[seabeyond]

8. you are suppose to mop? not just sweep? all these years

i didnt know

bah hahaha

i am such a bad house wife. i tell ya. i figure picked up and swept, i did my job. oh and laundry clean and in basket, works for me. put away? why?

[OhioChick]

9. Grocery shopping...

To me, it's punishment. I'd rather clean/wash anything.

[one_voice]

12. Other...

Mopping floors. I hate, hate, hate mopping the floors. I don't mind the bathrooms, the tub is a pain in the ass, but mopping is the worst. I'd rather cut the grass.

[Catshrink]

13. Plumbing repairs

I'm good with most other stuff but I don't know how to do plumbing. I've got to change the toilet flow valve this weekend. The directions don't seem that bad but it will go badly. Bank on it.

[Old Troop]

16. Folding clothes

[nolabear]

17. E All of the Above. Some were born to clean; others have cleaning thrust upon them.

Guess which category I fit into.

[TommyO]

18. I can deal with most of that

We have no lawn, one of the benefits of seaside living, but there is the pool to take care of, but it's rewarding to hop into after working on it.
Laundry is a snap
I love cooking, it shows after a weekend full of great holiday meals.
Groceries I can do, especially the shopping part, it's one of my escape times from the family.
No kids, though I do occasionally have to pick up a toy mouse from one of the cats.
Showering is quick and easy, as is shaving and brushing my teeth, no problems there
Dishes? That's what the dishwasher is for.

Cleaning? Forget about it, I hate it, I loathe it, I despise it, I want to win the lottery so I can build a new house and hire a housekeeper.

I think you know what I picked in the poll.

[wickerwoman]

20. Dusting and vaccuuming

both send me spiraling into allergy hell for days afterward.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

21. "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life."

[old mark]

22. Other: De-scumming the narwhal tanks....Those big boys really STINK!!!

Ya just can't train 'em....:shrug:

24. cooking meals

I absolutely hate to cook. I'll take on any number of household chores to avoid cooking and my wife takes full advantage of this. Fine with me, as long as I don't have to cook.

[IcyPeas]

25. cleaning house. specifically....

VACUUMING - I just can't tolerate the noise. on the other hand, I like ironing, I find it somewhat relaxing.... (and it's quiet)

[applegrove]

26. It is a toss up between vacuuming and showering. I hate both all of a sudden.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

27. cleaning the bathroom after my girlfriend has spent the night

her morning routine must require a dozen different products, which she leaves precariously balanced on the top of the shower door frame. And is seemingly unable to shower without shedding as much hair as a chemo patient which means I am fishing long red hairs out of the drain whilst various objects fall on my head.
