JFF: What Chore Do You Hate?

I don't mind washing the clothes, I don't mind putting them in the dryer and I don't mind putting them up. It's that middle step... folding. I hate to fold clothes.

I would say ironing except I don't do any.
If something requires ironing - we don't buy it.
Does ANYONE like cleaning toilets?
If I could afford to have someone come in to clean ONE THING on a regular basis - it would be the bathrooms.

Cleaning the bathrooms, especially the toilet area. There are 4 penises in my home, and none of them have good aim.

ETA: I don't hate ironing, but i don't have time to do it. So, I pay $1.29/shirt to take my husband's shirts to be washed and pressed. Well worth it!

Well when I was married the worst chore ever was sex. But now that we're divorced the worst chore is probably.....wait, there ARE no more crappy chores, everything is fun again, especially sex!

:)

Is wiping my kids butt after #2 a chore, LOL! That would be the one I hate!!

Cleaning...(in general!)

Dishes - HATE EM ... although it may be less of a pain WITH a dishwasher.

Cleaning the shower.

And now I have to recaulk the thing again. Than means cleaning it, scraping out the bad caulk, cleaning any mold, taping and caulking it and waiting 24 hours to use it again.

Hmmmm....So many choices....
I'm going with changing beds for the block, Wink! : /

Driving. I know a lot of moms don't mind spending hours on end, driving kids from one place to another and back again but I HATE it. Traffic gets my goat up like nothing else. And yes I have a nice comfortable vehicle with plenty of room. I am just a natural pedestrian, I would happily walk everywhere if I could!

I don't iron. Hate it.

So, out of the things I do do, I loath doing dishes. I feel like Sisyphus, over and over and over.......

Cleaning the kitchen. Hate it.

Cleaning pans with baked on stuff.

I hate cleaning all together... But the top 3 that I hate the most (In no particular order)...

1) Putting away the laundry
2) Washing the dishes (No dishwasher so everything is washed by hand... by me...)
3) (And this isn't really cleaning related) Giving kiddo a bath... Hubby and I argue (Not seriously - More like competitively whine) over whose turn it is. Kneeling on the tile floor is just so darn uncomfortable

I hate putting laundry away!!!!!! Hate it with a passion.

Washing silverware. I would rather wash a kitchenful of pots and pans than deal with piece after tiny piece of silverware.

And sweeping the kitchen floor-- because with kids, you know that after the next meal, it will be dirty again!

Dishes. hands down.

Yep...I'm with you! I do not like to put laundry away!

Vaccuming and dusting... HATE

I refuse to iron. My dry cleaners loves me for the bags I leave for pickup every Tuesday and Friday. I send all of hubby's shirts and pants and my nicer clothes.

I do laundry daily for the 3 of us and I can handle that. I have a lot of cold water, delicate things.

I hate cooking. I'd rather vacuum, do laundry, mow the lawn, just about anything.

I feel cooking is a waste of my time. I'd rather someone else do it but sadly I usually have to throw something on the table so we don't starve.

hhhmmm...good question...

I don't mind doing laundry...I don't like ironing. I would rather pay someone to do it or take it to the cleaners...

don't mind toilets or showers...

ooohh dusting!!! i really do NOT like to dust...right up there with ironing...

I only do laundry 2x per week. My kids know how to operate the washing machine and dryer...so if they run out of clothes (nearly impossible! knock on wood!!) they can do their laundry themselves!!!

hmmm this is requiring a lot of though for a JFF, lol

ok mopping the kitchen floor, It's ceramic tile and i hate it. that was goign to be a tie with dusting but i just don't dust much and when i do I flick it around with a feather duster.

with all the disposable wipes and stuff i'm ok with the toilet. thinking back to the days of actually using a RAG to mop up the pee and then putting that in with other clothing to be washed YUCKA!!

I make the kids put away laundry, it isn't perfect but it's out of my sight.
So i guess my other chore i hate is picking all the dang Debris up off the couch and the floor and the table and the chairs. I live with Peanuts characters and all of them are named PIGPEN. but floors still win.

Changing the sheets. I will actually post a question some day if anyone has a brand of sheets that actually fits vs all ours seem too small. Drives me crazy to try to get the fitted sheet on our king bed in particular.

I would rather come and clean your bathroom than wash my floors!!!

Putting the laundry away, because we have too many clothes, and when the laundry is all done there is not enough room in the drawers and closets for all of it. I get very frustrated trying to squish everything in. Each season I go through and cull the clothes that don't fit or nobody wears, but we all still end up with too much.

I hate laundry. There are 5 of us, my husband works two jobs, and my boys (2 of them) both play after school sports. I do AT LEAST 2 loads a day. I don't understand it.
Thankfully the boys are old enough to get their own clothes put away.
Although last night I did 3 loads and the hampers were all clear. Told the boys to clean their rooms today and now my stupid hamper is full again! ARGH!
Now...to train them to do dishes!!

Emptying the dishwasher. Thankfully with 4 people in the house, I'm not doing it everyday.

I have two least favorite:

1) Putting the laundry away. My husband typically does the part of putting it in the washer/dryer (mostly because he runs out of socks or underwear first), but we both fold and put it away.

2) Putting the groceries away. I don't mind going to the store that much, but I really don't like putting the food away. It's like grocery shopping is a 2 part chore.

I hired cleaners to come in and do the regular basics, otherwise cleaning the bathroom would be at the top.

As far as ironing goes, we are fortunate that we don't need to dress up for work so ironing is infrequent.

ironing. I have been teaching my kids to do it so I won't have to anymore! I also really dislike putting laundry away.

I actually enjoy doing dishes, especially by hand. It is relaxing. I enjoy organizing. I do not mind toilets, weird huh! I am a nut.

Folding clothes and putting them away. Sweeping. Dealing with gross dirt, like the corners of the window sills or other places where dust accumulates long term. Ew. Toilets--I won't touch 'em except to do what I must.

Without a doubt, laundry! I have 7 people in my family and no matter how many loads per day I do, I am never, ever caught up. I would clean a toilet for every load if I didn't have to do laundry- that's how much I despise it!

In general, those things that are not noticed if you do them, but are noticed if you don't - like cleaning the blinds, or dusting, washing dusty curtains, or pulling weeds. While I dislike all chores, at least the other ones have a *temporary* gratification of being done, even if for a moment.

Not sure this is a chore, but I hate putting together the weekly meals, and thus, making the shopping list. The one thing I hate to hear more than anything is WHAT'S FOR DINNER? I hate having to come up with ideas for dinner, especially at this busy time when both my girls have sports and we have practice or a game almost every night of the week. When I ask for input from everyone all I get is "I don't know".

I don't necessarily mind cooking if I've planned a meal and I've shopped for everything and we have all the ingredients. I hate it when we don't have doodle in the house, I gotta take a kid somewhere in 45 minutes and I've gotta come up with a halfway decent meal for 4 on the fly.

My mom used to tell me she hated it when as kids we constantly asked, "what's for dinner". Paybacks Mom... I hope you're happy, lol!

Cleaning the bathroom,hate it!

My I dont like you chores... Dishes, and Laundry.

I dont like dishes because I HATE when my hands get pruney and the family has a problem rinsing dishes off. I dispies this chore like no other and avoid it whenever possible. If we ever fixed our dishwasher then yeah I wouldnt mind it as much... but that is a long shot!

Laundry I wont do because it is in the basement... Yep I am 23 years old and my biggest fears in life (other than ds getting hurt) are the dark and stairs to a basement... You wanna see this momma win a marathon make the whole thing stairs to a basement and make it dark... I will win every time!

Dishes is probably number 1 followed extremely close by laundry. My husband and oldest son are supposed to be responsible for the dishes and I'm responsible for laundry with family help collecting it and putting it away. I said "supposed to be" for a reason. I still end up doing it all myself. We're a family of 5 so it's quite a lot of laundry and dishes!
My more practical most hated thing is yard work. I break out in rashes and hives and asthma attacks from our yard so it's not my job *at all*. So it's my most hated for that reason but I don't have to do anything with it so it doesn't exactly count ;)

Getting washed and dressed in the morning. Oh yeah, don't love cooking.

I HATE grocery shopping.
But lucky for me, my Husband does it.
And he does it just fine, based on the grocery list I make, and he also knows what we use or not and what brands.

Oh yah and I hate ironing.
I do not do it, much.

unloading the dishwasher
Its every day and sometimes twice a day.
Folding laundry i hate worse but its not a daily chore so overall dishwasher.

agreed.. ill wash it dry it fold it, but I hate having to put it away. we have limited space til we move out of my parents house, so its pretty much a nightmare, even if its only for me my fiancé & our 8month old

going under the house, into the crawl space, to turn on the water for the garden hoses-eek-only do it twice a year but really hate it!

OMG 110% folding clothes and putting them away! The only reason I do it is because I actually HATE digging through a pile of clean wrinkled clothes in a basket more than I hate putting them away. I also really dislike doing dishes by hand. But as crazy as this sounds my most favourite chore is vacuuming - I freakin love to vacuum. My dirty 30 is coming up Ugggg but I am asking for a 'true' Dirty 30 but requesting a Dyson LOL Im such a freak

Ironing. I think it's the biggest waste of time.

If you just neatly fold or hang and put away clothes immediately after they come out of the dryer, you really don't have to deal with much in the way of wrinkles anyway. So I'm religious (read: anal) about it. I know, I know, not everyone has time to do put clothes away immediately every time. I just loathe ironing so much that I will schedule in laundry at a time when I know I will have time to fold and put away afterwards. And for the rare occasion I do end up running off to a work meeting and my blouse has a few wrinkles, I have found that spraying a little water and taking a hair dryer to it works just fine. So much easier than getting out the board and waiting for the iron to heat up!

me too, I hate putting the laundry away...thankfully I only have to do mine and my twin boys, my husband and daughter do theirs...also dread cleaning the master bathroom, we are blessed to have a very large and nice bathroom but it takes me forever to clean it all (especially because I use so much hairspray!) :-)

All of the above..

I'm beginning to think my husband makes gaming plans for our place just so I actually do major clean up instead of my usual spot treatments.

Also he's out of clean socks...AGAIN...apparently he's forgotten how to run the washer and dryer and only I can help.

Well, everything's been said! ;)

I love to fold clothes. I sit on the floor, do some leg stretches, make neat little stacks of everything, etc. I don't care to put them away, but it goes a lot quicker by the load (i.e. 2 minutes) than leaving them all stacked up on top of the hamper until there are six loads...and then no one can lift the lid to put their dirty clothes in so I end up with either a bunch of dirty clothes on the ground by the hamper or someone TRIES to sneak something into it and all my nice, clean, meticulously folded clothes fall into the dirty clothes.

On that note, I don't actually like DOING the laundry, but I like it even less when I don't, because then my husband will put the socks in with the jeans and my nice shirts in with the towels.

I like to clean...it's exercise, and it's rewarding. The cleaning chores I really DON'T like are cleaning blinds and fans. Yuck.

I used to hate cleaning the shower until I realized that an SOS pad was obviously designed to clean the shower. ;)

And the only reason I own an iron, apparently, is to iron those little perler beads together for my kids.

Yard work. I HATE IT. We have a large size yard and one of these days I'd like an even bigger yard...so I think I'm just stuck with yard work. ugh.;)

I dislike...cooking!!!!!! I I applaud at those moms who love cooking!!!

I actually detest vacuuming because it takes me a very long time to recover. My vacuum is light but with all the pushing and pulling plus bending down and using tools etc. my body hates me by the time I'm done. Luckily I only have to vacuum 3 of the 4 rooms in my house well not including when I occasionally vacuum my kitchen/hallway which is tiled.

I'm not a great housekeeper so I really dislike many things, but for me the worst chores are folding laundry and emptying the dishwasher; hate them! my favorite: cooking (if someone else picks up the kitchen afterwards).

I hate to say it, but I absolutely hate having to clean bathroom. I have to be motivted to iron, cook and put away laundry and when I do get motivated, I do an etremely thorough job of cleaning everything and expect it to stay that way until dust starts to grow again...I don't like repetitive mundane tasks...

I'd say the chores I hate the most are cleaning floors (as in sweeping plus mopping), and cleaning toilets. Cleaning a balcony that is constantly getting muddy due to rain or dusting furniture that within minutes is dusty again can also be frustrating...

Vacuuming! UUUUUUGH!

Ha, even the word "chore" makes me cringe. I can't stand trying to keep the hard floor surfaces clean, primarily in the eating area. I love being barefoot, but the floor accumulates crumbs and spilled gunk like a magnet. Yuck. I hate cleaning that, baseboards being dusty, and folding laundry. Right up there on top of the list is un-making beds, washing ALL the linens, and re-making three large beds. UGH! I'm sore for the whole next day.
