GTKYFB - Most Hated Chore

mrsbaker1128 · July 2010

I hate laundry. Our washer/dryer are in the basement of our town house complex and is only accessible by walking outside. There are no outside lights, so I'm terrified to go out there at night or when DH isn't home. Needless to say, laundry is only done when absolutely needed.[Poll]

I said laundry, but I really only hate the folding and putting it away part. So time consuming. Blech.

I voted for laundry, but I don't mind doing it, I just don't like putting it away. I usually leave clean laundry in the dryer for days. I guess if we had bigger, more organized closets it wouldn't be such a chore.

SS. Ok so I know I said I have a new hated chore but really I have a lot. Windows, dishes, dusting. The others I'm fine with. DH said he doesn't mind doing the dishes and for me not to worry about it but he never does them and so I always end up doing them anyway. Super Angry

I say vacuuming for sure. The place I lived before had hardwood throughout so cleaning up dog hair was super easy. I hate cleaning out the filter of the vacuum and with Kelsey's hair I'm needing to clean it out all the time. Oh well.

SS - cleaning the shower.

I despise doing the dishes! It kind of grosses me out. Putting away the clean isn't really an issue, just the dirty.

My DH and I were taking turns washing dishes. Whoever's turn it was to wash, was supposed to put the dishes out of the drainer into the cabinets. Everytime I would be putting something away, I would notice three or four of the dishes were still dirty. So, I'd have to re-wash them. Needless to say, he doesn't do dishes anymore. Angry

This exactly! I don't mind it, but I'm always tired and annoyed when it comes time to put it away.

It's a tie for me between vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning the shower.

S.S.- Cleaning the litter box!

Cabrita · July 2010

I hate laundry too--the folding it part is not so bad IMO, it's the lugging it all to the elevator and down to the basement and back up that makes me dread it!

That's what I have a husband for. That and baby making. Oh and dishes. Stick out tongue

I hate cleaning the litter box & giving the animals a bath. My back always suffers from those two things. Plus the litter box, well let's just not even go there with how it smells. :P

ManiacMcGee · July 2010

I just want to be sure that those of you TTC aren't cleaning the litter boxes....

Sure, if you have indoor cats there is only a small risk of infection, but still. Get your husbands to do it for the next year or so.

sorry for the PSA if this is obvious news.

Pretty obvious and I'm sure I'm not really at risk because I freak out if the cat steps on foot out the door but I tell DH to do it anyway. I told him about how it can really make me sick and he just jumped to it. Its nice.

Our cat is indoor too, and I wish my DH would clean it like he's supposed too. But he lets it go for FAR too long and I just end up doing. However when I do get KU, he'll be doing the cleaning for sure. I hope so anyways, grrr.

I said S.S. because i really, really, really, hate all off it!

This!

I also hate vacuuming, too, because our vacuum cleaner is so not user friendly. It works really well, but is a PITA to use.

Haha! Good point!!

jjabs18 · July 2010

I hate them all really, but I voted for laundry. And in turn I really mean I hate putting it away. I don't even mind folding it, but today I came to the conclusion that I have way too many clothes and not enough closet space.

I'm attempting to clean out the guest room so that if we ever need it to become a nursery it won't be a huge chore.

eeyoreem · July 2010

I voted SS because I hate all of it, and DH is really no help. The only time I can get him to do things in a reasonable time is when we have people coming over.

In response to the litterbox questions, its fine if you're used to doing it. You can also get some of those surgical masks to help with the dust, I have cats rabbits and a guinea pig that I have to clean so they all end up getting done about 1x a week so I just dump everything and start fresh, I try to keep on top of it but with everything else I do there just isn't time. When we have foster kittens though I end up doing their litter box 1x a day because they're messy

bandwife928 · July 2010

Cleaning the bathroom. DH and I don't even share a bathroom so it's entirely my own mess but it grosses me out.

Ooh, I hate our vacuum. My husband bought it before we got married because it was highly recommended by Consumer Reports. It weighs 712 pounds and I am exhausted by the time it drags me around the house.

js297206 · July 2010

Our Laudry is in the basement and I hate the stairs going down. I fell down them once - so I'm so paranoid - DH does the laundry and I fold it all. (stupid stairs I'd rather do it than fold it)

katekat8721 · July 2010

My choice would have been laundry, if I were to ever do it. I'm blessed with a husband that primarily does all the laundry!

My vote was for sweeping/mopping because it's such a PITA to move all the furniture out of the kitchen to do it properly.

Ours is this old Electrolux that I have to drag along behind me and try not to ding up the walls. He always says how they just don't make them like that anymore. I want to say "No shiit - because they suck!" It does work really well, but I hate using it.

Our closets are extremely small and we have no storage space. There are clothes all over our room. I need to get rid of some of mine, too!

I need an "all of the above" option.
