Household chore that you hate???

We all know that doing housework can be a good calorie burner. However there's always at least one chore that we each hate.

Personally I dread cleaning the oven (I have an old fashioned gas one that is not self-cleaning) and I loathe washing the floors (even with the handy dandy steam mop I bought, which does make it much easier). :angry:

What do you absolutely hate doing? :bigsmile:

  • Laundry!! I hate putting it away. It's usually the last thing I get done in a day because I keep putting it off. Other than that I love cleaning. :smile:

    Bath tub/shower! I absolutely loathe it!
  • Ironing......So boring.........I hate it. I never buy anything that has to be ironed!
    I absolutely LOVE housework though and cleaning windows is good for burning extra calories and banishing bingo wings!

    Taking out the trash!! That is my husband's job because I absolutely hate it and before I was married I paid people to take out my trash. It is not a long walk to the dumpster, in fact it up 8 steps and then walk another 15 feet to the dumpster. It is not the walking that bothers me, just the fact of taking out the trash!! UGH!!

    All of it, really, but especially the garbage and the catboxes. Seven cats. Six litterboxes. A lot of poop.

    Definitely the bathtub/showers. And, cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes after my husband cooks because 1) he uses every single dish/spice in the house and 2) because her burns EVERYTHING, so I have to scrub, scrub, scrub just to put it into the dishwasher.

    The tub and the bathroom floor are the worst for me. I HATE them with a passion.

    However I actually enjoy washing dishes, vacuuming, and moping the kitchen floor. I used to wash dishes in restaurants when I was about 16 lol.

    I hate all of the household chores, but worst of all - Laundry!!! It just never stops. It grows and grows and grows. I actually have a friend who loves doing laundry and I think she must have bumped her head.

    This is so deja vu. My hubby does the cooking and will do the entire week's meals in one day, which I love but he is so messy! He attempts to clen after but I am a bit more thorough ( big understatement there) so I kinda push him aside. And although I hate cleaning the oven, love cleaning the stove! Weird.

    I hate scrubbing chores (bathroom). I don't mind vacuuming, laundry, etc, but I don't see the point in getting every last speck off of the counter when it will only be replaced the next day!

    cleaning my master bathroom. we recently remodeled it and went high scale. matte floor tiles (shows dirt) and glass shower doors/chrome hardware/high gloss wall tiles (show water spots/calcium deposits). plus the tub is a soaker, so i have to physically get inside of it to clean it and the above-mentioned items. it is gorgeous though (when clean). looks like a bathroom shoot in a modern magazine.

    Haha, I like most chores because I don't HAVE to do them, but I like helping out. I DON'T like washing the floor. I will do ANYTHING before I have to wash the floor. Vacuuming is also not cool. (I do like sweeping though.)
