Today's question is,

Do you have a household chore that you really dislike doing?

I don't mind most chores however I suppose my least favorite is cleaning the bathroom.

Hmmmmmm.

I'd have to say putting away the laundry.

I live out of baskets sometimes.

My family lives out of laundry baskets almost all the time b/c none of us like folding or putting away laundry. You aren't alone.


I hate all chores, but I think the one I like the least is doing the dishes. I absolutely hate it. I hate the feeling of my hands being wet and/or soapy, so that is a big part of it.

I hate doing dishes. Which is why most of the time I try to get out of them by having FH do them.

Mine is cleaning the bathroom - actually neither of us likes to do that - but since we have no kids in the house any more, we have to do it ourselves.....lol

LOL, that would be my answer too!


The one I hate the worst is mopping. I will sweep, vacuum, do laundry, do dishes, anything...I don't care. But I HATE mopping! So, DH does it. Hey, he was in the Navy and knows how to deck mop so it's cool with me.

Dusting, which rarely gets done it this place! And when I do dust, the next day everything looks like it hasn't been dusted in years anyway, so it's frustrating.

I don't really like washing dishes or cooking anything that requires me to get my hands covered in anything. I have major issues with gummy, slimy, or sticky stuff on my hands. I also have a big problem with muscle weakness that can cause me to drop heavy things... bye, bye crock pot....pyrex pie dishes, casserole dishes, ceramic pitcher, heavy mugs, etc...


Everything else pretty much requires me to have my hand in cleaners or wet, so they're fine. There's something kind of peaceful about scrubbing a floor (not using a mop, sitting down on the floor scrubbing it) - my mind turns out of the repetitive task and I can't break anything down there.


Laundry is folded while watching tv, so that's not an unpleasant task.

I really really hate washing dishes and folding laundry.

I can do any other chore with no problem, including cleaning the bathroom.

But when I was a kid I had to wash the dishes by hand every night (even though we had a dishwasher) as well as wash and fold all the laundry. Including my dad and my brother's underwear!

The solution to this is no carpet!
Vacuuming kills my back, too, but we're taking out carpets one room at a time. With four house cats and a husband with allergies and asthma it's just easier to sweep.
