Least favorite chores at home

[Mnguy2007]

I just came in from doing my least favorite chore around the house.:puke:
I have to admit that I am guilty of putting it off much longer than I should just because I dislike doing it so much.

My question is what is your least favorite chore to do and to you put it off until i will wait no longer?

The job I hate so much is cleaning the dogs kennel.
I have two Rots and between them they eat at least 50 pounds of food a week.
As the saying goes "what goes in must come out":laugh:
That makes for a lot to clean.

The worst part is it seems like just as soon as I finish they show me how fast they can make it their home again.

I won't even start on the horses:violin:

[Hoopy]

I hate doing everything :p but the worst I hate is having to do is wash the floors :mad:

[krevedko]

Washing dishes. Really hate that. There are lots of other applications to gentle woman's hands I can think of. ;)
I should probably ask Santa for a dish-washer. I've been a good girl this year, so I hope he gets it for me, unless he screws everything up like he did the last time when he was around :becky:

The worst for me is cleaning the garage. All the stuff I don't have a use for but can't seem to trash or give away goes out there. I haven't had a turntable in ages, but I have a big box of LPs that I just can't let go of. Some of them are thirty years old. :confused:

I have a new turn table that I haven't bothered finding a needle for it.
You know you have two much when you need a second garage and a pole barn to store everything.:laugh:

Floors on the inside of house I don't mind but that cement floor in kennel:eek:

This is one chore I like, but my hands are still rough.:lol:
Maybe if you don't like washing dishes then dishwasher is not so good.
At least in my case I wash dishes before I load them in dishwasher.:nerd:

Ironing whats that?

[1amongmany]

Ironing whats that?
normally it's wash, tumble dry, wear but considering there is no tumble dryer here and the job requires a business look I am forced to iron...it's funny that everything here that is a little unusual, like irons or coffee machines, are very expensive....the cheapest iron I could find was over $50 and the cheapest coffee machine was close to $75

[krevedko]

I don't mind ironing. I just never do any at all :becky:
Life's too short :becky:

As soon as I take the stuff out of the washing machine I just hang everything to dry oh hangers. The only exception is certain blouzes and Cheeky Little Monkey's dresses, but that's not a lot.

[1amongmany]

so I will bring my clothes over and you can iron while I wash dishes....the first one done makes the popcorn, ok?

[Sveta's Hero]

I hate doing yard work, or shoveling snow.

[krevedko]

Ok. But let me know in advance the amount of clothes you want me to iron, so that I'd know when to stop washing dishes and start saving them for you :becky:

Good thing I've been piling dirty dishes for last three weeks - which just proves that I have great foresight and intuition. So, come over, you won't be bored I can guarantee that :becky:

[alenika]

I'll wash your dishes if you do my ironing I like both washing dishes and ironing, but dislike laundry (by hands :becky:) and also don't like to be a host for party and to cook a lot :-P Not good hostess :yo:

[krevedko]

I like both washing dishes and ironing, but dislike laundry (by hands :becky:) and also don't like to be a host for party and to cook a lot :-P Not good hostess :yo: Alenika, let's live together! You'll be doing dishes and ironing and I will entrust the laundy to the washing machine and take full responsibilities for hosting and cooking for the parties! I also like to wash windows especially in the first warm days of spring - that's my way of celebrating the end of winter.

[saprosky]

I hate work, all kind. Better lay on hammock with a beer and sleeping siesta :)

[krevedko]

You lazy git! :becky:

[Lonewolf74]

Cleaning toilets and bathrooms in general. No problem with dishes...specially in the winter... lol.
Still Saprosky's idea is the best one so far...add to that living with 2 girls that share ironing and stuff among them and its perfect... :p :becky:

Paul I didnt care so much for either of those also, until I got hooked on John Deere:becky:

Taking in account that our men are bodies having eternal siesta, why do we need them? We can just share home work without addition burden laying in hammacks :-P

I don't really dislike any chores in my home but the one thing I don't like is gardening, cutting the grass, trimming hedges etc.
And I have two gardens !!
Actually I hate it with a passion, but it does look nice when it's all done.
But the damn grass is up again very soon after cutting it..........:mad:

We're in the same boat, Jim, except my grass has not grown much over the last month because we haven't had much rain, until yesterday.

[jimsan]

We have PLENTY of rain in Glasgow.
We have had so much over the last month or so that I could send you enough to water a small town for a year......:mad:

[bryangriffiths]

someone please clean the litter box for me peeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuuu

[huney]

It is the same way here. No rain for a month, now it has rained three days in a row. :rain::rain::rain:

Pulling weeds is close to top of my list also.:eek: Such a boring job and it doesn't matter if it rains or not they keep growing and growing.
I have many gardens, but not sure what kind because the weeds end up winning.:help:

My idea of lawn care is a lawnmower and a squirt bottle of round-up. Marina has different plans, but fortunately she takes care of her garden and I try to not spray the unknown plants in the yard.

Wow! Reading these "least favorite chores" I realize I can relate to almost all of them. For now, I live in a pretty low-maintenance place, and I have a cleaning lady who comes once a week. So I do limited laundry (only in emergencies), and she does all the ironing.

But my one daily chore that I don't like is making my bed each night and putting away my linens and blankets in the morning. To save space, I use a sort of a sleeper-sofa (but a very comfortable design), and I have to make the bed each night and put everything away each morning. It gets old.

When I lived in the hills west of Denver, I really hated it when I had to clear snow (which was often). I had a very long driveway, which went up a hill, and I had to rely on a neighbor with a super-duty Dodge Ram and a monster snow plow to clear it for me. But I still had to do a fair amount of shoveling around the porch and to the sheds.

But I think my least favorite houshold chore is cleaning the bath tub and shower. I hate doing all that scrubbing.

I have a very large bath and shower combination and can't reach all of it without climbing in. Since I have to wait five minutes for my hair conditioner to work, I use the time to scrub the tub and shower. Not only do I save time, I avoid getting any of the cleaning solution on my clothes.
