I hate
 
The laundry! I don't mind the washing and drying, but can we come up with a way to get it folded? Man I have so much of it to do. The kids put their stuff away but someone needs to fold it. (this was AH's job)Now he's not here. Maybe I made a mistake having him leave? Just kiding!!!
What all do you hate doing the most?

My kids have done their own laundry since about the age of 6. I still do towels, sheets, etc, but I figure if they want clean clothes to wear, they can do them! (They think I am mean.)

I hate the dishes most. I have had a dishwasher for the last ten years and just moved into a house that doesn't have one. The plumber is coming on Thursday to install one. Yay!

Cleaning the bathrooms!!!!!! Ugh I hate it.

I don't mind the laundry...however, the kids stuff sits on top of the
dryer, folded mind you, waiting to be put into drawers....
Lately they just pull out what they want from the pile and
there it sits.......I think I will hide it when I get home see
what they do then....lol

I would never make it with out a dishwasher. I would trade bathrooms over laundry any day.
LaTee- not mean SMART!

I'm w/ you Patty, hate cleaning bathrooms and there are two huge piles of folded clothes on my dryer right now.

Jazz likes doing laundry sometimes.....

You know what I don't like? The fact that I am always about 6 chores behind. If only I could get to where I want to be, maintaining it would be so much easier. Story of my life, I guess.

Housework!!! All of it! I try to discipline myself to offer myself willingly to the tasks - but it never lasts long!

Minnie...lol

My house looks like a small tornado came through recently. Sometimes its just so hard to get motivated to clean. I too hate the laundry and will let it pile up for days until there is this huge mountain of clothing to fold. When my AH was here, we used to have a "clothes folding party" which is what I would call it and he was very helpful when it came to that. That is one of the things I do miss about him. Even though he was an A, he was very helpful around the house "occasionally" if he were in the right mood.

I will come clean the bathrooms if you will come dust - I HATE to dust - really, really HATE to dust -

I'm like BlueBayou - my AH, if he is in a good frame of mind, he helps keep the house clean, too.
Does that mean our picker is only partially broke? (lol) - not so much??

minnie 07-25-2006 12:03 PM

What's all this about husbands "helping" around the house? Didn't/don't they live there too?

pmaslan 07-25-2006 12:05 PM

kind of like that babysitting their own children concept that
I still can not "get"

I hate changing the litter box.

And I detest doing windows! Everytime I am satisfied that they are streak-free, I find streaks that are only visible once I'm comfortably seated on the couch! Very annoying!

Has anyone seen the video clip on how to fold a tee shirt? I've got it and it's amazing. After 30 years of laundry, I'm folding them where there is no seam down the middle. That's how lazy I've been.

kermit 07-25-2006 02:10 PM

I have 2 baskets done.2 more to go. and then ther is the bedroom. Why is it that all the stuff seemes to pile up in my room? I hate washing the floors too. But I still hate the laundry most.

Cynay 07-25-2006 02:14 PM

Bathrooms.... YUCK!

I have to agree though... when I was married it use to TICK me off when my spouse would say he would "help" me in taking care of the housework or or my daughter...

Imagine that "babysitting" your own child... *sighs*

cwohio 07-25-2006 02:22 PM

ironing clothes!!

pmaslan 07-25-2006 02:23 PM

I thought for sure you would have said cutting that dang grass Christie!
